Acquisitions and Project Accounting Manager

My client are a large Financial Services group in Kent offering valuable experience for an established project accountant to join their group function to take ownership of various projects including acquisitions, disposals and embedding change into the team and wider group. This is a highly acquisitive business, and this role will enable to learn and apply your accounting skills related to disposals, liquidation and restructuring, as well as giving you valuable insight into the lucrative Insurance industry.

Whilst this role will predominantly be working from home, you may be required to travel to their Maidstone office once or twice a week.

More specifically, you will be responsible for working alongside the various business units to support and deliver smooth integration, accurate acquisition accounting and consistent post-acquisition reporting, converting the technical recommendations and external advice into real time general ledger entries. Whilst the role will have a financial focus, there will be the requirement to understand all reporting systems and the interlinkage between them and, where appropriate, provide training to new users and act as a central point of knowledge for new acquisitions and the wider Group.

Your Requirements

• Qualified Accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA)
• Experience of acquisition accounting and integration management
• Good technical reporting experience under IFRS and UK GAAP
• Track record of driving change and integration
• Ability to commute to their Maidstone office once or twice a week
