Group Reporting Manager

Resourcery Group are recruiting for one of the UK's fastest growing businesses and one of the region's biggest success stories. Based in Crewe, our client is looking to recruit a Group Reporting Manager to drive improvements across the Group reporting team; improving controls, processes and support a systems implementation whilst supporting due diligence needs and post-acquisition integration in what is a rapidly evolving, growth business.

As Group Reporting Manager, you will be a key member of the existing Group Reporting function. The business has recently experienced change at a corporate level and restructured accordingly, resulting in the creation of a new Group structure and the decision to move from UKGAAP to IFRS as well as to implement Oracle. These changes will see the Group Reporting Manager play a central role in the development of the new consolidated Group accounts and the development of finance systems as part of a small team which has been created to provide business support for all Finance systems. The role works closely with Director of Group Finance in a very flat structure which will expose the role holder to the most senior stakeholders in the organisation, helping support an accelerated career path.

The key areas of responsibility from a Financial Reporting & Management Accounts perspective are:

• Co-ordination of the annual Audit process and main poc with external auditors ensuring all findings are reviewed and appropriate action taken;
• Preparation of the Group statutory accounts (UK & Ireland, 9+ LEs);
• Ensure all accounts and annual returns are submitted on time;
• Managing the month-end consolidation;
• Responsible for the production of the management accounts and supporting schedule;
• Responsible for the inter-company process
• Developing a Group Policies Manual and drive a better financial control environment;
• Technical support for the business on accounting treatments;
• Quarterly Covenant testing and Compliance certificates for the Banks;
• Support the IFRS Project;
• Support the due diligence process and post-acquisition integration from a reporting perspective

This is a critical role in a central function and a potential pathway to a larger Group role in a rapidly-growing, forward-looking prestigious North West business. Applicants should possess:

• An ACA or ACCA qualification, ideally from Practice;
• CIMA candidates with relevant experience will be given equal consideration;
• Prior experience of working in a Group function would be obviously beneficial as would an audit background;
• The drive and motivation to work in a rapidly growing entrepreneurial business.
• Knowledge of IFRS, FRS102 and Oracle.
