Accounting Policy Senior Manager
The Accounting Policy team own and manage the group accounting/ reporting policy across this global FTSE 100 business. They manage the application of international financial reporting standards through maintenance of the Group Reporting Manual, training, query resolution, project implementation and management for material changes impacting the group. The remit of this team is broad and candidates selected to work in this team must have excellent knowledge of internal and external reporting processes and standards, business support and stakeholder management.
IFRS reporting and accounting exposure and knowledge is essential and the business is looking for a candidate from one of the Big 4 accountancy firms to take on a Senior Manager role in this team. The role will provide specialist ad hoc accounting support and training for existing IFRS accounting requirements but also application of new standards. It is a technical role however it also need someone with strong commercial acumen as there will be a high level of business advising around IFRS and regular preparation, review and challenges of IFRS reporting and accounting papers.
The Accounting/ Reporting Policy Senior Managers act as technical support on IFRS matters to stakeholders. The requirements of this role will also require the Senior Manager to lead, consider, understand and advise on the accounting impact of issues (including MA activity) both from a technical perspective but also consider the external message it purveys and the commercial impact. You will also play a key part in supporting the Group Reporting process.
There is a large element of ad hoc requirements within this team and therefore I will be looking for evidence that you are able to work under pressure and build excellent stakeholder relationships whilst also meeting business as usual requirements.
