Intercompany Accountant

Problems You Will Solve:

• Match high-volume entries across multiple entities and currencies where counterparties currently do not align.
• Investigate discrepancies arising from timing differences and IAS 21 foreign exchange revaluations.
• Work with international controllers to find 'missing' invoices or correct miscoded entries that prevent accounts from balancing.

Core Responsibilities:

• Lead the monthly, quarterly, and year-end intercompany reconciliation process for all global entities, ensuring all balances net to zero.
• Manage complex foreign exchange (FX) translations and revaluations, investigating and resolving discrepancies caused by currency fluctuations and timing differences.
• Act as the lead mediator between international controllers to resolve 'out-of-balance' accounts.

Technical Requirements:

• ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified with 3–5+ years of post-qualification experience.
• At least 5 years in accounting, specifically within a large, multi-entity international group.
• Proficiency in NetSuite (highly preferred) or a similar Tier 1 ERP.

Ideal Candidate:

• High Attention to Detail: ability to work with large volumes of data and methodically correct the balances to agree between counterparties in currencies
• Communication Skills: Ability to work across time zones and cultures, explaining complex accounting issues to stakeholders
• Analytical Mindset: You look beyond the 'what' to understand the 'why' of financial data flows.
