As a Senior Accountant, you will be the backbone of our financial reporting, taking full ownership of the trial balance, complex reconciliations, and the month-end close cycle. You will be a hands-on technical expert who ensures the integrity of our financial data, maintains a pristine balance sheet, and ensures compliance with all relevant accounting standards. Operating with minimal supervision, you will drive continuous improvement in our financial processes.

The day-to-day responsibilities include:

  • Own and drive the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes, ensuring all deadlines are met and financial statements are accurate.
  • Prepare and post complex, high-value general ledger entries, including subjective accruals, deferred revenue, prepayments, and intercompany transactions.
  • Perform and review critical balance sheet reconciliations, investigating and resolving discrepancies independently.
  • Manage intercompany accounting, including transfer pricing adjustments, loan agreements, and multi-currency reconciliations.
  • Assist in the preparation of consolidated statutory financial statements and regulatory filings in accordance with local GAAP and IFRS.
  • Act as the lead coordinator for the annual external audit, managing the preparation of the PBC (Provided by Client) list and resolving complex audit queries.
  • Continuously evaluate and optimise GL processes, chart of accounts, and financial systems to drive efficiency and automate manual tasks.
  • Ensure strict adherence to internal controls, SOX compliance, and financial policies across the organisation.

You should apply if you:

  • Are a qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA, or equivalent) with at least 5–7 years of post-qualification experience, with a proven track record in a complex, multi-entity GL environment.
  • Are an exceptionally organised, hands-on professional who can manage the entire close process independently with minimal oversight.
