This is a 12-month maternity-cover Director role providing senior leadership continuity for UK accounting operations. You will own the complete UK financial close on both US GAAP and UK statutory (IFRS/FRS 101) bases, serve as the primary contact for statutory audits (Deloitte), and manage the UK accounting team alongside coordination of outsourced accounts payable functions.
Key responsibilities include:
- Monthly close: deliver accurate, timely, standards-compliant UK and US GAAP reporting
- Audit management: lead day-to-day coordination with Deloitte on UK Ltd and Holdco statutory audits
- Team leadership: manage the UK accounting team and oversee outsourced AP operations (ApprovalMax), banking (Barclays, JPM), and treasury
- Technical accounting: oversee complex recurring areas including prize-draw revenue recognition, charity liabilities with present-value-discounted payout schedules, winner payout schedules, lease accounting, and intercompany loans/cost allocations across the group

- Controls & process: maintain and strengthen financial controls and SOP documentation as part of a broader controls-framework initiative
- Group collaboration: partner with German and Global Accounting Directors and the Chief Accounting Officer
Success means delivering a well-run UK close, clean on-time statutory audit, accurate handling of complex recurring accounting, a supported team, and strengthened controls documentation—ensuring seamless continuity throughout the cover period.

DESIRABLE:
