## Description

Join our Finance Division as an International Record to Report Manager to make a real impact every day. The R2R Manager owns the record-to-report process across our international entities and leads the team that delivers it.

Responsibilities:

- Own the end-to-end R2R process, ensuring accounts are complete, accurate and delivered within Group reporting deadlines.

- Run the close calendar and track close KPIs, such as on-time close, reconciliation completion and post-close adjustments.

- Ensure every balance sheet reconciliation is prepared, reviewed and approved, and that reconciling items are cleared promptly.

- Own accruals, prepayments and journals standards, including coding and cut-off.

- Set the intercompany process, including monthly matching, elimination and loan balances.

- Own fixed asset and capex accounting policy, including useful lives and the go-forward procedure.

- Partner with FP&A to explain monthly business performance and variances.

- Prepare the short-term and long-term operational cash forecast and funding needs.

- Manage banking relationships and bank structure, and the capital adequacy reporting for regulated entities.

- Bring acquisitions and newly onboarded entities into the R2R process.

- Apply consistent methods across entities, and ensure any deviations are justified and documented.

- Technical lead: the go-to for technical accounting, who forms, documents and defends positions, reviews the technical accountant's work and presents to auditors.

- Policy ownership: revenue, leases, business combinations and PPA, impairment, share-based payments, capex useful lives, and consolidation, FX and intercompany.

- Reporting and policy: statutory and sub-consolidation accounts, the policy manual with an annual review, and moves to new standards such as IFRS 18.

- Own the control framework over R2R, with a strong controls bias.

- Lead the year-end audit for the Group, sub-consolidations and local accounts.

- Ensure statutory accounts are filed on time in every jurisdiction.

- Work with the Tax team on corporate tax returns, transfer pricing and indirect tax analysis.

- Keep policies, procedures and SOPs current, and review them every year.

- Lead, coach and develop the R2R team, including planning, staffing, training and goal setting.

- Manage the technical accountant and set clear ownership between technical accounting and day-to-day R2R.

- Work with the NetSuite team on process improvements, automation and standard reporting.

- Lead continuous improvement and standardisation projects with commercial leaders.

Qualifications:

- Fully qualified accountant (CIMA, ACCA, ACA or equivalent such as CPA).

- Relevant R2R experience, including balance sheet reconciliations, journals, banking, fixed assets, intercompany and tax returns.

- Strong IFRS and US GAAP knowledge, with experience preparing consolidated IFRS accounts.

- Strong controls experience (SOX preferred).

- Experience managing external audit to tight deadlines.

- Proven people leader with remote teams across several locations.

Desirable:
