• Mission

We are looking for an Accounting Manager to join our London hub and act as a Regional Controller for a portfolio of our diverse international subsidiaries. Reporting to the Director of International Accounting, you will step beyond simple transaction processing to become a strategic business partner, overseeing the integrity of the P&L and Balance Sheet for complex jurisdictions across EMEA and APAC.

In this role, you will be the "bridge" between our global strategy and local execution. You will partner closely with our regional finance teams, reviewing their operational output while focusing on audit readiness, US GAAP close, and process optimisation.

• The impact you will have:
• Ensure the team knows exactly what is required to deliver a timely and accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual close for your assigned region.
• Take ownership of reviewing monthly journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and OpEx analysis, ensuring strict adherence to US GAAP and internal policies.

Drive the local statutory financial statement process for your entities, ensuring timely delivery of data to external auditors. You will partner closely with the Technical Accounting Manager to ensure local filings align with the global group strategy.

• Identify bottlenecks in the "Record-to-Report" workflow and implement methodologies to maximise productivity, specifically looking for ways to automate or streamline financial operations using our tech stack.
• Empower the team to focus on high-value work (such as audit defence and technical accounting memos) by effectively leveraging our international teams for routine transactional tasks.
• Develop an action plan to coordinate and train our geographically dispersed accounting teams, serving as the primary reviewer and mentor to ensure their work meets our high global standards.
• Provide regular, timely feedback to internal stakeholders and external consultants, fostering a culture of urgency and continuous improvement.
• Thrive in a hyper-growth environment, maintaining flexibility while ensuring that our internal control policies and "Culture of Compliance" are never compromised.
• What we look for:
• ACCA/ACA/CIMA qualified
• 5+ years of operational accounting experience, preferably within a fast-paced, US-headquartered multinational environment.
• Demonstrated experience managing various international accounting entities and working successfully with remote or international teams is essential.
• Strong working experience with NetSuite, FloQast, and Zip is highly preferred.
• Proficiency in account reconciliation, month-end close processes, and the application of GAAP to complex transactions.
• The ability to analyse complex datasets (using advanced GSuite/Excel formulas) to interpret technical guidance and formulate clear conclusions.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to clearly communicate financial concepts to non-finance stakeholders and tailor your style to different audiences and cultures.
• A desire for accuracy and analytics with the ability to navigate ambiguity, identify risks, and drive solutions independently.
• Excellent organisational and time management skills to manage the calendar of statutory filings and provide daily status updates.
