Group Consolidation Analyst - #2166753

Group Consolidation Analyst - King’s Cross, London (office-based Monday to Thursday) - £60,000 - £65,000 + bonus + pension, life and medical cover

Newly qualified ACA (or ACCA) looking for your first move out of audit? This is a chance to move from auditing group accounts to preparing them, in a business big enough to give you real breadth and growing fast enough to give you real influence.

Our client is a global manufacturer with operations across several continents. It is building out its Group Finance function at its London HQ.

The role:

Reporting to the Group Consolidation Manager, your time will be split roughly 50:50 between:

Consolidation and intercompany:

• Monthly, quarterly and annual consolidation of 20+ entities in multiple currencies under IFRS, on a 10-12 day close
• Intercompany reconciliations, eliminations and resolving differences with regional finance teams

Statutory, tax and forecasting:

• UK statutory accounts, plus support on other Group entities
• Accounting for the Group’s holding and corporate entities
• Supporting the Global Tax team and Group forecasting (EBITDA and cash flow)
• Audit support and input into Board and management reporting

You’ll also get genuine exposure to M&A and Group financing activity, and you’ll be expected to question how things are done and suggest better ways of doing them.

What you’ll need:

• ACA qualified (ACCA or CIMA considered), ideally within the last two years
• Audit experience at a large accountancy firm preferred, ideally including group audits and IFRS clients
• Some exposure to multi-entity, multi-currency reporting
• Confidence to challenge and improve processes

Manufacturing, private equity-backed or other asset-heavy audit clients, or SAP or OneStream experience, would be useful but aren’t essential.

Why apply:

A strong bonus, real M&A exposure, and a finance team that’s still being shaped, so there’s room for an ambitious person to grow with it.
