Senior Manager, External Reporting

Overview

This role supports the organization’s external reporting and group consolidation efforts for a multi-entity structure across the UK, US, and Europe, with preparation for US public listing activities. Work will include end-to-end ownership of group consolidation and external reporting—from ASC 830 translation mechanics through US GAAP consolidated financial statements, SEC disclosures, and the close process designed to sustain quarterly filing cadence.

Responsibilities

• Own group consolidation across UK, US, and European entities, including intercompany elimination and ASC 830 foreign currency translation
• Prepare US GAAP consolidated financial statements with full footnote disclosure for audit and external filing
• Draft SEC disclosures to registrant standard, including:
  • S-1 financial statement sections
  • MD&A support under Reg S-K Item 303
  • 10-K and 10-Q filings that follow
  • Coordinate with the Director of Technical Accounting, VP Accounting, and the wider team
• Own the tie-out process to ensure every number in the statements is agreed to support, referenced, and reviewable
• Build from scratch the disclosure checklist and the annual and quarterly reporting calendar, including designing a close timetable that meets a 10-Q filing deadline
• Coordinate audit deliverables through first-year fieldwork/completion and through subsequent quarterly review cycles
• Sign off US GAAP group numbers that feed the statutory bridge, working alongside the Statutory Reporting Manager who prepares local IFRS accounts
• Own consolidated actuals used for management and board reporting, and review non-GAAP measures and their reconciliations
• Select and implement disclosure management and inline XBRL tagging required from the S-1 onwards
• Support Reg S-X significance testing and Article 11 pro forma preparation as the site and joint venture portfolio develops
• Shape and, over time, lead the reporting team as the function scales (hands-on in the first year)

Requirements

• Qualified accountant (ACA/CPA or equivalent) with 6 to 8+ years’ experience, including preparing US GAAP consolidated financial statements and footnotes
• Hands-on experience drafting or auditing SEC filings (S-1, 10-K, 10-Q), on either the registrant side or Big Four
• Strong command of US GAAP disclosure requirements and multi-entity, multi-currency group consolidation, including foreign currency translation under ASC 830
• Working knowledge of Reg S-K and Reg S-X
• Meticulous tie-out and documentation discipline
• Experience taking external auditors through a full year-end cycle, and ideally through quarterly reviews
• Proven ability to build a process from scratch rather than operate one that already exists
• Willingness to do the work personally before there is a team to delegate to, along with judgment on when to begin building the team

Preferred Qualifications

• IPO readiness or first-time registrant experience an advantage

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary based on the work you do here, not your previous salary
• Equity
• Retirement/pension contributions
• Comprehensive health, wellbeing and insurance benefits
• Generous number of vacation days each year
