Financial Analyst/Manager

This role supports the Group Controller in overseeing financial reporting, forecasting, accounting practices, and financial processes across multiple business operations in North America and Europe. It is a review, oversight, and analysis-focused position rather than a transactional accounting role.

Responsibilities

• Oversee the month-end reporting process for assigned business groups, ensuring financial results are complete, accurate, and reasonable.
• Review financial results and investigate unusual variances, inconsistencies, or discrepancies.

• Serve as a resource to operating teams regarding accounting treatment, transaction classification, and application of GAAP.
• Ensure financial reporting is consistent with established accounting principles, corporate policies, and internal procedures.
• Follow up with business units throughout the month-end process to ensure reporting requirements and deadlines are met.
• Review and document financial controls and processes and identify opportunities to strengthen accounting and reporting practices.
• Support the forecasting process by coordinating submissions, monitoring deadlines, and reviewing information for reasonableness and consistency.
• Analyze financial data and aggregate information from multiple operations to identify trends, opportunities, and best practices.
• Assist with the review of financial reporting and accounting processes as part of ongoing process oversight and internal controls.
• Support the Group Controller and Group General Manager with special projects, financial analysis, and other strategic initiatives as needed.

About the Role
