SF Partners are delighted to be partnering with a leading international organisation to recruit a Financial Accountant into a high-profile finance function supporting operations across multiple countries. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing, market-leading business where you'll gain exposure to international finance, technical accounting and business partnering within a collaborative and forward-thinking environment.

You'll gain broad exposure across financial reporting, controls, cash management, audit and process improvement while working with stakeholders across an international business.

• Managing financial accounting activities across several international entities.
• Producing accurate reporting, forecasting and financial analysis.
• Maintaining robust financial controls over cash and debtor movements.
• Monitoring daily cash flows and overseeing relationships with international payment providers.
• Managing foreign exchange costs and identifying opportunities to improve efficiencies.
• Supporting VAT compliance and ensuring financial processes remain compliant with changing regulations.
• Coordinating multi-entity external audits and working closely with auditors.
• Building strong relationships with stakeholders across finance and the wider business.
• Supporting and mentoring junior members of the finance team.
• Identifying opportunities to improve financial processes and controls.

You'll ideally have:

• ACA, ACCA or equivalent professional qualification.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge.
• Previous audit and financial reporting experience.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• A proactive approach with a continuous improvement mindset.
• The ability to work across multiple entities and manage competing priorities.

If you're looking to join a globally recognised organisation where you can develop your career in a varied and high-profile finance role, we'd love to hear from you.
