Job description

Mackin is a dynamic and growing services company that partners with organisations across multiple industries to deliver strategic solutions in operations, consulting, and business optimisation.

We operate across the UK, Ireland, US, and Netherlands, serving a diverse client base. We pride ourselves on our collaborative culture, commitment to client success, and investment in our people. Our team thrives on solving complex problems and driving meaningful impact for our clients.

Balance is part of how we work, not an afterthought. Our team currently finishes at 1pm every Friday, so you have more time for the things that matter outside work.

About the Role

We're seeking an experienced Senior Financial Accountant to join our Finance Department as we transition our finance function in-house and build it out for scale. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a multifaceted role that spans technical accounting expertise through to strategic finance—from managing complex multi-entity consolidations in multiple currencies to shaping commercial forecasting, budgeting, and pricing strategy. This is a particularly exciting time to join. Mackin is in the midst of a finance transformation, implementing modern systems and processes across 15+ entities in multiple jurisdictions. You'll manage our technical accounting and consolidation requirements, but you'll also play a strategic role in forecasting, budgeting, and commercial analysis. This gives you exceptional breadth of experience and the opportunity to make real impact on how a growing business thinks about its finances. This is a full-time role based in our Dublin Hill office, giving you direct access to the CFO and a front-row seat to how the business is run. Over time, you'll also have the flexibility to work from home on the days the CFO works remotely.
