Job Description

Reporting into the Accounting Lead, you will be a key partner to both internal and external stakeholders, translating complex accounting issues into clear, actionable insights. As the go-to Subject Matter Expert, you will be responsible for guiding the company through complex accounting matters, preparing detailed technical papers, and ensuring that accounting standards are applied consistently across all entities. The role also involves developing and maintaining group accounting policies and standard operating procedures, assisting with the preparation and review of financial statements and disclosures, and overseeing specific accounting processes such as fair value measurements, share-based compensation calculations, and impairment assessments. Additionally, you will communicate complex accounting concepts in a clear and accessible way for non-finance colleagues and conduct training sessions to strengthen the knowledge of finance teams. At its core, you will need to be able to balance the act of being an approachable resource but also push back on topics, especially with senior stakeholders (e.g. CFO), that you are not agreeable with for the sake of the organisation.

The Successful Candidate

The ideal candidate will hold a professional accounting qualification such as CA, CPA, or ACCA and have proven experience in technical accounting or financial reporting, preferably in a multi-entity or listed company environment. You should have a deep understanding of IFRS/SFRS and other relevant accounting standards, and be comfortable liaising with auditors and external stakeholders. Strong communication skills are essential, particularly the ability to translate complex accounting issues for a non-technical audience. The successful candidate will be detail-oriented, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic business environment.
