Our customers expect to be dazzled. Whether it’s TV, mobile, home phone or super-fast broadband services across the UK, at Virgin Media we’re 110% focused on making their lives easier, richer and a little bit more fun.
It’s doing things different. It’s changing the game. And to make that happen our people need to be a little bit different too. Forget about pen pushers and clock watchers. Our people are super sharp and switched on. Flexible, friendly and up for any challenge. So if you join us as a Financial Control Manager, get ready for something new.
This role is within the Group Financial Control team which is responsible for both external reporting and accounting policy within Virgin Media and you’ll be supporting both areas. You’ll be required to manage the interests of multiple stakeholders in a dynamic and fast paced environment. As you’ll be working directly with senior people within the company on a daily basis, it’s essential that you can build and manage strong relationships and communicate effectively.
Responsibilities include providing accounting guidance on new transactions and product offerings; assessing impact of new accounting pronouncements and assist the business in developing appropriate solutions; provision of timely accounting advice on a range of business initiatives, development of accounting training, and the analysis of the impact of acquisitions, disposals, one-offs, and non-recurring items impacting reported growth rates and underlying trends in the business. You’ll also be involved in adhoc control projects as necessary to support the Head of Financial Control, such as continuous improvement and streamlining of the financial reporting process.
The successful candidate will have a minimum of two years PQE coming from a Big Four accounting firm, ideally with an understanding of US GAAP and SEC reporting, and with strong technical accounting skills. They will also be a self-starting and driven individual with a high level of attention to detail, strong organizational skills and the ability to work independently to meet deadlines whilst retaining the utmost levels of accuracy and integrity in reported financial information.
Join and you’ll be part of the Virgin Media family. You can trust us to do the right thing by you. We’re a great place to work – and we offer impressive benefits too. Get ready for a generous holiday allowance, contributory pension, performance related bonus and, of course, discounts on our fantastic mobile, broadband and cable.
