Finance Manager – International Accounting
Location: UK, Remote (ideally within travelling distance to London)
Join our team as a Finance Manager, International Accounting and play a key role in supporting financial reporting and governance across our international operations (EULAM and APAC).
You will work closely with regional teams to ensure the integrity, consistency and accuracy of financial information across the group.
What you’ll be doing
The core of the role is about control, clarity and coordination across our international entities:
Partnering with regional finance teams to ensure timely, accurate reporting
Leading the monthly and quarterly reporting cycle across multiple markets
Reviewing balance sheet reconciliations, P&L movements, and consolidation packs
Owning and strengthening financial controls (SOX-aligned) across the group
Bridging statutory reporting with US GAAP requirements
Overseeing audits and building strong relationships with external auditors
Managing intercompany accounting and cross-border complexities
Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
Driving process improvements, especially through automation and smarter use of tools
Working closely with Tax, Controllers, and global finance teams on wider initiatives
What we’re looking for
You know your numbers, but more importantly, you know how they fit together in a global business.
Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CPA or equivalent)
Strong experience in international accounting within a multinational environment
Solid understanding of IFRS and/or US GAAP
Experience working with controls and governance frameworks (SOX or similar)
Comfortable navigating multi-entity, multi-country complexity

Not essential, but useful:
Exposure to US-listed organisations
Experience working across EMEA/APAC regions
Background in distribution, wholesale or supply chain environments
Involvement in M&A or business transformation projects
Why join us
You’ll be joining a global business where finance isn’t just reporting the story, it’s helping shape it.
You’ll get exposure across multiple regions, work with experienced international teams, and have the opportunity to influence how we evolve our processes as we continue to grow.
If you want to operate at group level, get stuck into real international complexity, and move beyond just “closing the books”, this is a genuinely interesting role to step into.
