We are working with a well-established Media organisation in London that is looking for an experienced Technical Accounting Manager to support its Group Finance team through a busy year-end reporting and audit period.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused opportunity for a technically strong qualified accountant who can take ownership of complex IFRS accounting matters, support the year-end audit and drive improvements across financial reporting and controls.

We are particularly interested in speaking with candidates who are immediately available or on a short notice period.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead on complex IFRS accounting matters, preparing technical accounting papers and supporting key management judgements.
  • Coordinate year-end reporting deliverables and act as a key point of contact for external auditors.
  • Support the preparation and review of Group IFRS financial statements and annual report disclosures.
  • Strengthen financial reporting controls, including requirements relating to Provision 29 of the UK Corporate Governance Code.
  • Lead detailed balance sheet reviews, identifying risks, challenging balances and driving resolution of outstanding issues.
  • Work closely with senior finance stakeholders to ensure reporting deadlines are met and processes run efficiently.

About You

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
  • Strong technical IFRS knowledge and experience preparing accounting papers.
  • Proven experience managing year-end audits and preparing or reviewing Group financial statements.
  • Solid background in Group Reporting, Technical Accounting, Audit or Financial Control.
  • Experience reviewing balance sheets and improving financial controls.
  • Confident communicator, comfortable working with senior stakeholders and external auditors.
  • Proactive, organised and able to hit the ground running.
  • Immediately available or able to start at short notice.

Experience within a complex group structure or exposure to media and broadcasting would be advantageous, but is not essential.
