• Own the working papers behind submissions and provide analysis to answer regulator queries, often feeding directly into CFO responses.
• Review transactional data and source documentation to test compliance, escalating any grey areas.
• Document the business’s position on complex interpretation points, keep the valuation assessment schedule current, and support external audits.
• Collaborate with the business‑partnering team on the annual plan to ensure forecasts stay within the framework.
• Monitor changes to rules and accounting standards to prevent compliance gaps.

Required profile

• Qualified, part‑qualified or studying towards ACA, ACCA or CIMA.
• Experience in a regulated sector, compliance function or any environment with externally imposed constraints.
• Exceptional accuracy, comfortable handling large Excel datasets and standing behind numbers under scrutiny.
• Audit exposure and ability to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously.
• Familiarity with ERP systems such as D365, SAP or Workday is useful.
• Knowledge of forecasting and UK accounting standards (FRS 102 or UK GAAP) is advantageous.

Required skills

• Advanced Excel for large data sets.
• ERP systems experience (Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, Workday).
• Forecasting techniques.
• Understanding of FRS 102.
• Knowledge of UK GAAP.
