A Financial Accounting Manager is required to work for a listed FMCG business based in West London on a permanent basis. Working in a fast paced environment, this is an opportunity to work for a market leader who are continuously growing.
Reporting into the Financial Controller, you will be responsible for taking ownership for the accounting of one of the lead European entities. This will include the successful management of a team of up to 4 people. Day to day duties will include:
- Responsibility for the US GAAP and local accounting, statutory accounting, external tax and VAT reporting for your region
- Review final balance sheet reconciliation and monthly package files for all entities
- Oversee and maintain preparation of statutory accounts as well as preparation of corporate tax schedules at year-end
- Responsibility for SOX controls
- Ensure month-end closing is completed on time
- Identify and implement areas of improvement for monthly reporting
- Attend monthly meetings with local finance teams
The successful candidate will ideally be ACA qualified, however ACCA qualified candidates will be considered. It is extremely advantageous to have knowledge of the FMCG industry, SAP experience and the ability to speak a 2nd European language. You must have experience of managing a team previously and be comfortable taking ownership for the month-end and year-end processes. Ideally you will have experience working for a listed business where you have taken ownership for an entity/region. This is an opportunity to work for a well-known business with the opportunity to progress internally into a Financial Controller position and the opportunity to take ownership of a variety of forthcoming projects.
