Your new role

• Own and maintain accurate General Ledger accounts across assigned entities
• Deliver balance sheet reconciliations, investigate variances, and resolve issues proactively
• Provide financial analysis and insight to stakeholders across the business
• Prepare and review UK VAT returns (including PIVA, reverse charge, EC transactions, and group returns)

• Manage VAT coding and configuration within SAP, ensuring accuracy and compliance
• Act as the main point of contact for HMRC queries, audits, and inspections
• Support employment tax compliance, including P11D and PSA submissions

• This is not a standard GL Accountant role — we are specifically seeking someone with deep, practical VAT expertise who can bring structure and leadership to this area.

    • End-to-end VAT processes (reconciliation → submission → audit support)
    • Ability to interpret complex VAT rules and apply them in a commercial environment
    • Confidence dealing with HMRC and tax audits
  • Proven General Ledger experience (5+ years) in a corporate or multi-entity environment
  • Solid understanding of UK GAAP and/or IFRS
  • Minimum part-qualified (ACCA, ACA, or CIMA)
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain VAT/tax matters clearly to non-finance stakeholders

What you'll get in return

• Flexible working options available.
• Health & wellbeing support — private medical cover plus access to wellbeing resources.
• On‑site convenience — free parking and a subsidised canteen.
• Financial benefits — pension scheme, reward/discount platform and relevant allowances.
• Workplace community — regular staff social events and engagement activities.
• Professional support — structured processes, clear responsibilities and cross‑functional exposure.
• Stable, global environment — part of a large, international organisation with strong governance and career pathways.
