Financial Reporting Manager required for a uniquely-interesting service business in Fulham, central London. This business operates globally in a distinctively original space with no other UK competitors, and with its sound leadership has incredibly-exciting growth plans for the next five years to continue winning contracts internationally.

This is an opportunity to be truly mission-focused and contribute towards building something renowned. We're looking for someone from a Top 10 audit firm to join as Financial Reporting Manager, joining a forward-thinking and dynamic organisation. People who are curious and collaborative succeed in this business, we're not looking for someone to simply turn the wheel.

As the Financial Reporting Manager, you will be primarily responsible for:

• Production of statutory and financial accounts for multiple entities across UK and Europe, complying to local GAAP and tax requirements
• Production of consolidated annual financial accounting statements for all European entities, and submission to the US parent according to US GAAP
• Leading the annual audit process from planning to review stages, and acting as the central point of contact for external auditors for your entities
• Provision of financial accounting support across the UK-based group functions, such as accounting position papers and informing on complex financial reporting issues
• Management of monthly financial reporting for the UK business, including review and analysis
• Implementation of new controls and governance procedures as appropriate, in line with new US GAAP, UK GAAP and European GAAP regulations
• Business partnering the financial leadership team and senior leadership team as required, to communicate financial position and support business cases to improve performance
• Continuous improvement of financial reporting systems and processes to streamline reporting practices and improve results
• Working with local tax advisors to ensure that tax reporting is submitted accurately and on a timely basis relevant to each region's requirements
• Ad hoc project support work to assist the group's ongoing development plans

The ideal candidate for this role will be an ICAEW/ICAS qualified accountant making their first move into industry from Big 4 or Top 10 audit firms. Those who are qualified in industry with relevant experience will also be considered for the role. You'll need to have a couple of years' post-qualification experience and be at least Assistant Manager or Manager for this role.

We're looking for challengers who thrive in dynamic and ever-changing environments. The most technically-strong candidates aren't always the best for this business: it's about the right personalities who can help the business achieve its objectives and progress quickly.

If you're ambitious and intrigued about the idea of a unique business, this one is for you.
