Blackwaters is recruiting an experienced qualified Interim Reporting Analyst for a long term contract with our Surrey based client.
Working in a small and highly dynamic team, the GRA role is critical in the preparation of all reporting and providing key support to the CEO and CFO at half and full year. Primary responsibilities revolve around sales reporting, monthly flash reporting and consolidation, with analysis for circulation. Additionally, the GRA manages the 3 month forecast preparation and reviews all reports from subsidiaries to ensure the integrity of the numbers.
The role requires a strong statutory accountant with solid analytical and presentation skills. This is the key audit liaison and so it is essential that candidates have an audit background with Plc exposure, and are technically strong with up to date IFRS and UKGAAP knowledge. There is a huge emphasis on consolidation and presentation of results for use by senior management, so it is crucial that candidates have demonstrable experience in a similar role, consolidating and circulating reports and presenting results. It is also essential that candidates have been responsible for the budgeting and forecasting process at least at Divisional level.
Candidates will be qualified ideally with a Top 10 background. You must have trained in Audit in a Plc environment and have extremely strong analytical skills as well as a good working knowledge of HFM and Essbase and have advanced Excel skills. Candidates must be confident in dealing at Board level and will be skilled at managing multiple work streams, prioritising as necessary and controlling deliverables to ensure maximum support to all stakeholders.
