Support the Head of Group Reporting in delivering the Group's Annual Report & Accounts (ARA).
Oversee the Group's impairment review process, going concern and viability statements.
Provide oversight and direction to a small team of qualified accountants within Group Reporting.

About You

Qualified accountant (ACA/CA or equivalent) with extensive post-qualification experience in technical accounting and group reporting.
Proven expertise in IFRS, ideally within a large, complex, or FTSE-listed environment.
Strong understanding of IFRS 16 and other key reporting standards.
Excellent communicator - able to present complex accounting issues clearly to non-technical audiences.
Hands-on, detail-focused, and confident working under pressure to tight deadlines.
Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and influence across teams.
Experience managing external auditors and overseeing statutory reporting processes.
Comfortable operating in a dynamic, fast-moving environment with multiple stakeholders.
