An exciting opportunity has arisen for a commercially minded Senior Financial Accountant to join a rapidly growing automotive group undergoing significant transformation following a major acquisition by a global mobility organisation.

This newly created role sits at the centre of a large-scale post-merger integration (PMI) program and offers the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future finance function of a market-leading automotive business.

Reporting directly to the Senior Financial Controller, you will be responsible for supporting financial reporting, integration activities, systems improvement and process standardisation across a newly combined group.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Following a recent acquisition by a global automotive and mobility organisation, the business is entering an exciting phase of integration, growth and operational transformation. This role will provide exposure to:

• Post-merger integration and finance transformation initiatives;

• Systems consolidation and process optimisation projects;

• Multi-entity financial reporting;

• Strategic business improvement activities;

• Direct engagement with senior leadership; and

• Significant career development opportunities within a growing organisation.

For an accountant looking to broaden their experience beyond traditional reporting and gain valuable PMI exposure, opportunities like this are rarely available.

Key Responsibilities

• Support daily, month-end and year-end accounting activities across multiple entities;

• Prepare consolidated financial statements and management reports;

• Deliver financial analysis and insights to support decision-making;

• Assist with budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis;

• Drive standardisation of reporting frameworks and accounting processes;

• Support ERP and financial systems integration initiatives;

• Identify opportunities to automate and streamline finance processes;

• Assist with cashflow forecasting and working capital management;

• Ensure compliance with statutory reporting, tax and audit requirements; and

• Support acquisition-related projects, due diligence activities and ongoing integration initiatives.

About You

You will be a technically strong accounting professional who enjoys improving processes and working within a dynamic environment.

To be successful you will bring:

• CA or CPA qualification;

• Experience in a Senior Financial Accountant position;

• Strong technical accounting and financial reporting capability;

• Experience operating within multi-entity environments;

• Exposure to acquisitions, integrations or business transformation projects will be highly regarded; and

• A proactive, solutions-focused approach to continuous improvement.

If you're looking for a role that combines technical accounting, commercial exposure and transformation projects within a high-growth automotive business, we'd love to hear from you.
