We are looking for a Lead Accountant / Accounting Manager to take ownership of our accounting function as the group grows.

This is a hands-on role with real responsibility. You'll work closely with business leadership and CFO, improve accounting processes, and help build a reliable financial foundation for our growing business.

We're looking for someone with strong accounting expertise, sound business judgment, and the independence to make decisions and get things done.

• Manage the monthly close, including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and adjustments.
• Maintain accurate Balance Sheet and P&L reporting, investigating discrepancies and correcting accounting errors.
• Ensure proper accounting treatment of business transactions and maintain supporting documentation.
• Review and supervise accounting work, improving processes and maintaining consistent accounting standards.
• Manage intercompany accounting, including balances, reconciliations, and related entries.
• Take ownership of accounting issues, working independently with internal stakeholders and external advisors.
• Collaborate with FP&A, providing accurate financial data, explaining GL balances, and resolving reporting discrepancies.
• Accurate, well-maintained accounting records.
• Reliable monthly financial statements.
• A consistent and predictable month-end close.
• Accounting issues identified and resolved proactively.
• Clear communication with stakeholders.
• An accounting function that operates independently, with strong ownership and minimal day-to-day supervision.

• 5+ years of hands-on accounting experience, including ownership of general ledger accounting and month-end close.
• Strong understanding of IFRS and/or US GAAP, including accrual accounting, revenue recognition, cut-off, and financial statement preparation.
• Full balance sheet ownership: experience reconciling key accounts, investigating discrepancies, and correcting accounting errors.
• End-to-end accounting experience: understands how transactions flow through the GL into the P&L and Balance Sheet, not just one area such as AP or AR.
• Experience with multiple legal entities, including intercompany transactions and reconciliations.
• Experience working with accounting software such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, or similar systems.
• Hands-on and independent: comfortable reviewing transactions, posting adjustments, troubleshooting GL issues, and closing the books personally.
• Strong ownership and professional judgment: able to take responsibility for the accounting function, make day-to-day accounting decisions independently, identify problems proactively, and propose solutions rather than constantly escalating issues.
• Business maturity and stakeholder management: comfortable working directly with management, FP&A, operations, and external advisors. Able to explain financial issues clearly, challenge incorrect assumptions, and drive issues to resolution.
• Strong English communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Experience accounting for US legal entities and practical US GAAP reporting.
• Background in Big Four audit followed by hands-on in-house accounting.
• Experience in international, technology-driven, or high-transaction-volume businesses.
