Job description

Management Accountant

Management Accountant

Help shape the finance function of a growing European company, and join us as our newManagement Accountant.

One Frio is a young, fast-growing network in temperature-controlled food logistics — formed by bringing together strong family businesses across the Netherlands and Ireland (Grolleman Cold store, Nedcool, Coenen Boxmeer, McCulla Ireland, Granville Food Services & KOG in Ireland). We provide reliable cold storage, warehousing, order picking, transport and end-to-end logistics for food products. As we integrate several companies into one group, there's real room to influence how things are done.

That's what makes this role interesting. You'll be strong in the fundamentals of accounting — and you'll also enjoy looking beyond them: thinking about how processes can be smarter, how reporting can be more useful, and how finance can genuinely support the business. If you're looking for a place where your ideas are welcome and you can grow with the company, we'd love to talk.

Location: McCulla Ireland, Lisburn Head Office

What you will do

You'll be responsible for a correct, complete and timely administration across the general ledger — and you'll have the space to help improve how that work gets done.

• Own the core.Full preparation of management accounts, journal entries, balance-sheet specifications, VAT reconciliations, and month-, quarter- and year-end close — reliably and on time.

• Keep it clean across the group.Reconcile intercompany positions, review and tidy suspense accounts, and maintain a clear audit trail across a multi-entity group.

• Improve as you go.Identify where processes could be more efficient, and help shape better ways of working — including more automation — so finance can scale well as we grow.

• Understand the business.Spend time with the sites, learn how cold storage and logistics work, and turn that understanding into reporting and insight leadership can use.

• Build with us.Work closely with the regional finance director and across our group companies as we bring systems and ways of working together.
