Richard Brady
About the Role
Senior Accountant
The Opportunity
If you're ready to move beyond a single-entity finance function and take real ownership across multiple international entities, this is worth a read.
You'll join the finance team of a global, multi-entity business, working across both local GAAP (HGB) and US GAAP. It's a hands-on role covering the full accounting cycle, not just a slice of it, from month-end close through to statutory and regulatory reporting.
The Role
- Own month-end close, journal postings and reporting under both US GAAP and HGB
- Manage bank and balance sheet reconciliations
- Support accounts payable, including invoice processing, payment runs and travel expense coding
- Handle VAT filings via Elster, plus secondary tax filings including excise duty
- Prepare balance sheet reconciliations and controls in line with SOX compliance
- Manage fixed asset reporting, accruals and payroll and salary bookings
- Deliver statistical and regulatory reporting, including EU intercompany sales reporting
- Work closely with FP&A and cross-functional finance teams to improve reporting processes
The Company
Our client is a well-established, internationally operating business with a strong market position and a finance function that spans multiple entities and reporting frameworks. You'll be joining a team where independent ownership is valued: someone who can manage complex accounting issues without needing constant sign-off.
This is a role that offers genuine breadth. You won't be confined to one entity or one reporting standard. You'll work across both local and US GAAP, giving you exposure that's hard to get in a single-market finance team, plus visibility into statutory, tax and regulatory reporting beyond the core accounting cycle.
What You'll Need
- Qualified accountant status
- 7 to 12 years of relevant accounting experience in a multinational or large company environment
- Strong knowledge of local GAAP (HGB) accounting
- Experience with ERP systems such as Sage Accounting, Datev or Wincarat
- Staff management experience
