• Lead regional month-end close activities with a focus on revenue recognition (IFRS 15 / GAAP), project cost validation, and gross margin reporting, ensuring compliance with internal policies and external accounting standards.
• Own transactional accuracy across revenue, cost of sales, project setup, contract amendments, and change orders, ensuring all financial data flows correctly through to gross margin, project, and customer analysis.
• Prepare and reconcile deferred and accrued revenue schedules, validating completeness and accuracy of supporting documentation.
• Deliver actionable insights to commercial and delivery teams, highlighting trends, risks, and opportunities to optimise project profitability and revenue performance.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Sales, Delivery, Operations) to understand commercial activity, project performance, and operational drivers impacting financial results.
• Support global audit and compliance requirements, providing timely reconciliations, evidence, and documentation for internal and external auditors.
• Drive process improvements and automation across reporting, data capture, and financial processes, enhancing efficiency, control, and scalability.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of new financial processes, ensuring alignment with global standards and best practice.
• Support ad hoc commercial analysis and business projects, providing insights that influence decision-making across the organisation.

Requirements

What you'll bring.

• Qualified accountant - ACCA / ACA / CIMA.
• Significant experience in a relevant accounting role, with a strong focus on revenue recognition in a commercial environment.

• Experience operating as a Finance Business Partner, working closely with commercial teams to support deal structuring, pricing, and revenue treatment decisions.
• Strong understanding of SaaS or subscription-based revenue models (highly desirable).
• Experience automating and improving processes through systemisation and controls.
• Experience building and preparing reporting packs using a reporting tool.
