Group Consolidation & Reporting Accountant

Group Consolidation & Reporting Accountant | PE-backed MedTech Group | £70,000–£80,000 pro rata | 6-month FTC | Remote UK (London preferred) or Dublin hybrid | JRROC36694

JasperRose is partnering with a highly profitable, PE-backed European MedTech and healthcare group. The group has 60+ entities and is looking for a Group Consolidation & Reporting Accountant on a 6-month fixed-term contract, with real potential to go permanent. This is a rare remote opportunity (London preferred, with monthly travel to the Dublin head office) or hybrid from Dublin. The business recently moved from a listed environment to private equity ownership and is growing through acquisition, so this is a pivotal time to join.

Reporting to the Group Financial Controller, the role sits in a small, hands-on group finance team with regular exposure to the CFO, local finance teams, auditors and tax advisors. As well as owning the monthly consolidation and supporting the year-end audit, you will bring a fresh perspective to how the group reports. You will drive transformation and process improvement, including supporting the implementation of a new consolidation tool.

Responsibilities will include:

• Delivering the monthly, quarterly and annual IFRS group consolidation across 60+ entities, reviewing subsidiary reporting packs and following up with local finance teams
• Preparing consolidation journals, including intercompany eliminations and FX translation, and performing intercompany reconciliations
• Preparing the monthly consolidated management accounts, group balance sheet reconciliations, and variance analysis against budget, forecast and prior year
• Supporting Board, investor and lender reporting, including covenant calculations
• Supporting the year-end audit: preparing audit schedules and the consolidated IFRS financial statements, and responding to auditor queries
• Supporting group tax matters, including current and deferred tax, and working with external tax advisors on a group restructure
• Bringing newly created holding entities into SAP
• Helping to select and implement a consolidation tool, and driving process improvement, controls and automation across group reporting

Skill set required:

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with around 3–5 years’ PQE
• Hands-on group consolidation experience in a multi-entity environment (ideally 10+ entities)
• Audit exposure, ideally from both sides: an audit background followed by delivering audits and statutory accounts in industry
• Experience of both manual Excel-based consolidations and consolidation software is advantageous
• Exposure to tax, M&A accounting or a PE-backed environment is a plus
• A personable team player with a process-improvement mindset and the ambition to grow with a business going through significant change

This is an opportunity to really make an impact in a high-growth business where you will be a key part of the group financial controls team.  You will be working in a high-calibre and collaborative team; there is a strong opportunity for the role to go permanent should you prove yourself.
