French Statutory Reporting/Financial Accountant

We are looking for a native level/fluent French Reporting Accountant to join the EMEA financial shared service centre for an international manufacturer with $6 billion annual revenue. 

Reporting to the EMEA Financial Manager, you'll be responsible for all transactional reconciliation, closure and reporting of (AR/AP/GL) accounts on a monthly, quarterly & yearly basis.

Responsibilities include (although not limited to):

• Maintenance of financial records, month end journals, P&L reporting
• Reconciliations; investigation of discrepancies
• Monthly VAT returns; annual French tax returns

Due to the team structure with support both below and above you, this is a great opportunity to step into a more senior level role. In addition:

• You should be driven and personable, with strong numeric and problem-solving qualities.
• You should have Excel reporting experience (pivots & v-lookup); SAP is desirable, but non-essential.
• US GAAP & French VAT knowledge desirable.
• Experience in an EMEA/European SSC (or BPO) is desirable.
• Examples of previous process improvements would be great.

This is an opportunity to step up in your career and should be seen as a medium-long term opportunity (3 years minimum). People relocating within the UK or from mainland Europe are more than welcomed, but should note that a car will likely be necessary on a longer-term basis - those with a driving licence are therefore preferable!

The company prides itself on family values, a strong sense of inclusion and allowing individuals to gain exposure to other business areas. Set in the beautiful rural county of Gloucestershire in a modern office, this is a great long-term opportunity.
