Responsibilities

The Consolidation team is deliberately small. There is no layer between you and the output: you will own workstreams end to end, report directly to the Head of Consolidation, and see your work land in the numbers the Group publishes.

You will contribute actively to the preparation, analysis, and release of the Group consolidated financial statements, in line with IFRS, our internal control requirements, and the Group monthly financial calendar. You will also support the team on work that serves other departments across the Group.

Key Responsibilities:

• Prepare, maintain, and execute the reconciliation of consolidated ledger accounts and financial statements.
• Preparation and execution of consolidation adjustments and intercompany calculations according to the Group’s Transfer Pricing policies.
• Reconciliation of the Group Net Financial Position on a monthly basis and accounting of key personnel long-term incentive plans.
• Run periodical reviews of the reporting packages prepared by local finance managers in Tagetik.
• Support the preparation of the Impairment Test (IAS 36) and of interim and annual disclosures.
• Support the preparation of forecast figures and financial modelling on request both at Group and local level.

Requirements

• Education: Master’s degree in accounting or finance.
• Experience: At least three years in technical accounting and financial reporting, with deep knowledge of IFRS, gained in a large multinational group or in an audit or consultancy firm.
• Skills:
  • Deep knowledge of consolidation rules and techniques.
  • Professional-level English, written and spoken.
  • Practical fluency in AI tools like Claude, standing alongside IFRS expertise. Candidates must already use AI to speed up real-world reporting and analysis while possessing the critical judgment required to know when to trust AI outputs and when to double-check them for accuracy.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel: lookups, pivot tables, and confidence working with large volumes of data.
  • Solid working knowledge of Google Workspace, in particular G-Sheets.

Desirable:

• Audit experience gained in a Big 4 firm.
• Working knowledge of Tagetik, or of a comparable consolidation and reporting system.
