You’ll validate data flowing from FinOps, manage supplier accruals, and reconcile prepaid assets. - High-Value Oversight: Act as the financial gatekeeper for high-value transactions, performing due diligence to ensure accuracy and relieving Financial Controllers of transactional approvals. - Risk & Anomaly Detection: Regularly review the full ledger to detect trends or vulnerabilities, acting as the first line of defense for data integrity. - Asset & Lease Management: Manage the Fixed Asset Register, including capitalization, depreciation, and executing lease accounting (IFRS 16) entries. - Intercompany & Reporting: Manage intercompany bookings and reconciliations, perform month-end variance analysis to validate OpEx trends, and support internal/external audits. Who you are - Experienced: You have a solid background with at least three years of experience in GL accounting, specifically within P2P cycles and R2R processes. - Detail-Oriented & Analytical: You are passionate about balance sheet integrity and "getting it right the first time. - Collaborative: You enjoy working with multiple stakeholders, from FinOps to various stakeholders such as Controllers and Tax lawyers, to ensure smooth financial reporting. - Proactive: You question the status quo and look for ways to automate or improve processes as we grow. - Adaptable: You can manage multiple projects, from IFRS 16 lease entries to intercompany reconciliations, without losing focus.
