Take ownership of full-cycle accounting for several international entities, bridging the gap between local compliance and group-wide financial reporting. If you thrive in multi-jurisdictional environments, enjoy the complexity of tax compliance, and have a passion for driving process automation, this is the role for you.
Financial Closing & Reporting
- Manage full-cycle monthly, quarterly, and annual closing processes across multiple group entities, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial statements.
- Prepare consolidated reporting packages and lead the audit support process, including preparing documentation and liaising with auditors.
Tax & Regulatory Compliance
- Own tax compliance (VAT, GST, TVA, Sales & Use Tax, withholding) across various jurisdictions.
- Coordinate directly with external local advisors to ensure all periodic tax filings and reporting requirements are met on time.
Operational Accounting & Subsidiary Support
- Oversee day-to-day GL functions, including complex inter-company reconciliations, payroll entries, and fixed asset accounting.
- Support the financial setup of new companies in the ERP and assist with the seamless accounting integration of new subsidiaries.
Process Improvement & Optimisation
- Identify and solve accounting incidents, contributing to process automation and the standardisation of accounting procedures across the group.
- Maintain rigorous documentation standards to support all transactions, audits, and compliance filings.
You will collaborate closely with the accounting manager, the rest of the accounting team, and also with external advisors across different jurisdictions, in order to ensure financial integrity and alignment across the company. These collaborations are pivotal for achieving our organisational goals and ensuring effective communication and alignment across different areas of the company.
