Job description

Interim Group Reporting Manager | 6 months (potential to go permanent) | London | Hybrid

Up to £120k (there might be some flex)

I’m working on a really interesting interim opportunity for a Group Reporting specialist who wants more than just the month-end / reporting cycle.

This is a high-profile role within a listed, fast-paced and complex business, joining the team at a time when there’s plenty going on across reporting, technical accounting and wider finance projects.

You’ll be taking ownership of the Group reporting cycle, but the role is much broader than that.

You’ll have exposure to:

• Group and external reporting, including half year and statutory reporting
• Technical accounting and complex transactions
• IFRS and accounting policy
• Cashflow, liquidity and working capital analysis
• Acquisitions and changes to the Group structure
• Finance systems and control improvements
• External auditors and senior stakeholders
• Leading and developing a team of 3

It’s a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, getting involved in the detail and having a real influence on the wider finance function.

What I’m looking for:

• 5+ years of post qual experience in industry
• Previous experience in working for a listed &/or complex business
• Strong Group Reporting / financial reporting experience
• Experience within a listed and complex environment
• Strong IFRS knowledge and technical accounting capability
• Comfortable dealing with auditors and senior stakeholders
• Previous team management experience
• Commercially minded, analytical and detail-focused
• Someone proactive who takes ownership and enjoys solving problems
