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.
