Lead statutory reporting. Drive audit improvement. Influence financial accounting across a complex international organisation.

We're partnering with a globally recognised international NGO to recruit a Financial Accounting & Audit Manager. This is an outstanding opportunity to take ownership of statutory financial reporting and external audit within a large, complex international environment. Reporting into the Head of Financial Control, you'll lead a specialist financial accounting team whilst working closely with finance colleagues across multiple countries to strengthen reporting, improve audit readiness and embed best practice.

This is far more than a traditional financial accounting role. It offers the opportunity to combine technical accounting expertise, leadership, international stakeholder management and change in a genuinely global organisation.

\n
• The opportunity to lead a high-profile audit improvement programme, helping reduce audit timelines and improve the quality of information provided by international teams.
\n
• Significant exposure to senior finance leaders, giving you the platform to influence decisions and shape the future of the financial accounting function.
\n
• The chance to play a key role in a major ERP implementation, acting as the financial accounting subject matter expert.
\n
• A varied leadership position combining people management, technical accounting, stakeholder engagement, training and continuous improvement.
\n

What you'll do

\n
• Lead the preparation and review of statutory financial statements, trustee reporting and balance sheet reviews.
\n
• Manage the annual external audit, acting as the primary contact for auditors and coordinating activity across global finance teams.
\n
• Build strong relationships with country finance teams, improving the quality of financial information submitted and supporting them to meet audit requirements.
\n
• Review key financial reporting areas including VAT, tax and statutory returns, ensuring robust governance and compliance.
\n
• Coach and develop a small financial accounting team, creating capacity through effective delegation and development.
\n
• Support the implementation of a new ERP system by shaping future financial accounting processes and controls.
\n

What you'll need

\n
• ACA or ACCA qualified with experience leading statutory accounts and external audits.
\n
• A collaborative leader who enjoys developing people and building relationships across diverse teams.
\n
• Experience improving financial reporting, audit processes or controls within a complex organisation.
\n
• The confidence to challenge, influence and work with stakeholders across multiple countries and cultures.
\n
• Charity or international experience would be advantageous but isn't essential.
