HEAD OF Group Accounting (m/w) IFRS

„Als Senior Recruitment Consultant bringe ich durch Active Sourcing und dem Führen von ausführlichen Interviews Projekt und Freiberufler zusammen. Dabei stehen für mich Qualität, schnelle Prozesse und zufriedene Freiberufler an erster Stelle.“

Aufgaben:

- The current closing work is done by an experienced department of 12 heads, but the head of Group Accounting is there to solve problems, decide on handling of special cases, discuss possible solutions, asking questions about strange developments in the figures, doing analyses etc., so it's not just organizing and leading the "project" year-end group closing, but also being the last instance for technical issues (Fachfragen), from subsidiaries or Group Accounting staff / other central departments, and the final editor of the notes disclosures. This does not apply to tax questions, a separate global tax department is handling those. The consolidation software is SAP Financial Consolidation (formerly Cartesis)
- IFRS year-end consolidated client group financial statements including notes along with analyses in a high quality and signed off by the auditors (KPMG)
- Find solutions for all questions which come up during the preparation, help the Group Accounting department do their job, steer the year-end closing time-wise, escalate problems where necessary (e.g. if subsidiaries do not submit their figures in time)

Skills:

- Deep practical consolidation and IFRS knowledge (not just as an auditor!)
- Experience in this role as the responsible person for Group financial closings
- Deep practical IFRS and consolidation knowledge
