  • Provide accounting guidance on complex transactions and new products
  • Support M&A activity from due diligence through post-acquisition integration

Reporting

  • Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual financial consolidations under IFRS
  • Analyze Group financial performance and variances vs. budget
  • Coordinate statutory audits and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements

Governance & Risk

  • Design and implement a group-wide governance manual and internal control framework
  • Support ERM reporting and track mitigation plans for control deficiencies
  • Define and document functional limits aligned with Delegation of Authority (DoA)

ESG

  • Lead ESG reporting processes, including data collection, review, and disclosures
  • Ensure accuracy of non-financial metrics, especially emissions reporting
  • Develop ESG governance policies and train stakeholders on CSRD and related regulations
  • Collaborate with cross-functional ESG teams to drive reporting initiatives

Your Expertise: 

To be successful in this role, we are looking for candidates with the following qualifications and attributes: 

  • Graduate degree in Finance or Chartered Accountant qualification (RA, ACCA, CPA, etc.)
  • 5 – 8 years of relevant experience, including in audit, consulting, or corporate finance
  • Strong knowledge of IFRS, financial consolidation, and internal controls
  • Proven experience with ESG frameworks and sustainability reporting (CSRD, GRI, etc.)
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an advantage
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work across functions and cultures
  • Strategic thinker with hands-on execution skills and a continuous improvement mindset
  • Capable of independently delivering results and leading projects

If you meet these criteria and are ready to contribute your expertise to a dynamic and challenging environment, we encourage you to apply.
