Senior Accountant

This is a business in motion; expanding its reach, integrating new brands and reshaping its operations for the future. With an international footprint and the strength of a global parent backed by international banks, it operates across a diverse portfolio of entities in a complex, fast-moving environment. Acquisitions, integrations and system transformations are reshaping the business, creating a rich environment for finance professionals who thrive on variety, pace and the opportunity to influence commercial outcomes. The finance team is a trusted partner to leaders across the network, helping them navigate complexity and capitalise on opportunity. This is a newly created role for a talented Senior Accountant interested in pursuing a pathway into Financial Planning & Analysis.

The Role

Reporting to the Divisional Financial Controller, as the Senior Accountant you will work across the full spectrum of accounting, from the fundamentals of financial accounting through to management reporting while leaning heavily into FP&A. In practice, that means not only producing accurate budgets, forecasts and variance reports, but also interpreting the numbers, running scenarios and providing the kind of insight that helps the business plan its next move. Your duties will include but not be limited to:

• Manage weekly cashflow forecasting and prepare summaries across 30–40 entities
• Consolidate budgets and forecasts, including detailed annual budgets and rolling reforecast models
• Deliver monthly variance analysis and commentary, identifying key performance drivers
• Prepare and refine management reports for operational leaders and executives
• Undertake ad-hoc financial modelling, scenario analysis and project-based reporting
• Partner on business cases, translating them into proforma budgets and P&Ls
• Track performance against business case targets, including synergy realisation
• Support post-acquisition integration by assessing performance against budget and operational objectives
• Play a key role in the transition to a new ERP system, ensuring data accuracy and reconciliation
• Collaborate with offshore teams to ensure timely completion of AP, AR, reconciliations and month-end processes
• Drive process improvements, including the development of automated reporting and forecasting tools
