Job description

HIREIQ is delighted to be recruiting a Senior Accountant for an industry opportunity based in Dublin, offering hybrid working.

This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified accountant with 3–4 years’ post-qualification experience who wants to take ownership of financial reporting, contribute to commercial decisions and further develop their career in industry.

Why Apply?

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Hybrid working in Dublin.
• Broad role spanning financial reporting, management accounts, budgeting and forecasting.
• Ownership of key month-end and year-end reporting processes.
• Opportunity to work closely with senior finance colleagues and stakeholders across the business.
• Scope to improve financial controls, reporting processes and systems.
• Build on your technical experience while developing your commercial understanding.

The Opportunity

As Senior Accountant, you will take responsibility for key financial reporting activities, ensuring accurate accounts and timely delivery of financial information.

You will work closely with the wider finance team to analyse business performance, support planning and provide clear insights into financial results.

This role would suit someone who is confident managing reporting deadlines, resolving accounting issues and taking ownership of their work.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and review monthly management accounts and financial reporting packs.
• Manage key elements of the month-end close, including journals, accruals and prepayments.
• Review balance sheet reconciliations and resolve outstanding issues.
• Analyse performance against budgets, forecasts and prior periods.
• Provide clear commentary on financial results, highlighting risks and opportunities.
• Support annual budgeting, forecasting and cash flow planning.
• Prepare statutory financial statements and supporting year-end schedules.
• Coordinate audit deliverables and liaise with external auditors.
• Support tax compliance and statutory reporting requirements.
• Maintain and improve financial controls, accounting policies and processes.
• Work with stakeholders across the business to support financial decision-making.
• Contribute to finance projects and system improvements.

Your Background

• Qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA accountant with approximately 3–4 years’ PQE.
• Strong financial accounting and reporting experience gained within industry or practice.
• Experience managing month-end processes, preparing accounts or leading audit assignments.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge and confidence resolving reporting queries.
• Excellent Excel skills and experience using accounting or ERP systems.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to explain financial information clearly.
• Confident managing competing priorities and meeting reporting deadlines.
• Proactive, commercially aware and comfortable taking responsibility.

Who This Would Suit

This role would be a strong fit for someone currently working as a:

• Senior Accountant
• Financial Accountant ready for greater responsibility
• Management Accountant with strong financial reporting experience
• Audit Assistant Manager or Audit Manager looking to move into industry

Why This Role Stands Out

For an accountant with 3–4 years’ PQE, the next move is an opportunity to gain greater ownership and broaden your influence within a business.

This role combines hands-on financial reporting with analysis, planning and process improvement, offering scope to contribute beyond the month-end accounts.

All applications will be treated in the strictest confidence.
