What we're looking for

You'll be a proactive, organised and detail-focused finance professional who takes pride in producing accurate work and finding better ways of doing things. You'll be comfortable working to tight deadlines, managing competing priorities and communicating confidently with colleagues and senior stakeholders.

We'd love you to bring:

ACA qualified (or equivalent), with experience gained within an audit practice.
Strong experience preparing statutory financial statements under IFRS.
Experience of statutory and consolidated group reporting, ideally across multiple legal entities.
A good understanding of technical accounting and financial reporting requirements.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and strong overall IT capabilities.
Excellent planning and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and deliver high-quality work under pressure.

A proactive, hands-on approach, with the ability to work independently, take ownership and use your initiative.
A passion for continuous improvement, with the confidence to challenge existing processes and identify opportunities to improve accuracy, efficiency and control.
Experience within the hospitality or leisure sector would be an advantage, but it's not essential. We're more interested in your technical expertise, attitude and ability to make a positive contribution to our team.

Supporting the preparation of monthly, quarterly and annual consolidated financial results, including reporting to our parent company and bank.

Managing the annual intercompany cleardown process, coordinating the settlement of Group intercompany balances through dividend and capital injection transactions.
Taking ownership of the Group's IFRS 16 model, monitoring its accuracy and processing remeasurements as required.
Supporting the preparation of monthly management reporting packs for our parent company and bank.
Supporting the month-end close process, including the preparation and processing of manual journals.
Preparing detailed balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring all balances are supported by appropriate documentation.
Ensuring compliance with Group accounting policies and relevant financial reporting standards.
Supporting the implementation and ongoing maintenance of robust financial controls and reporting processes.
