Job description
BP3 is looking for a fully qualified, hands-on Senior Financial Accountant to own the general ledger and month-end close in a multi-currency environment. You'll prepare and post journals, maintain audit-ready balance sheet reconciliations, and take first-level review responsibility for the work of our AP Specialist - reporting into the Financial Controller. This is an execution-focused role for someone who is comfortable working hands-on in the ledger, not just reviewing from a distance.

- Review and guide the work of our AP Specialist, including supplier, bank and credit-card reconciliations, coding and cut-off
- Prepare and reconcile payroll-related journals and balances, including leave provisions and other employee-related accruals
- Maintain the fixed asset register and prepayment/amortisation schedules
- Manage intercompany balances and multi-currency / revaluation processes across the Group
- Support VAT and statutory accounting requirements across our Netherlands, USA, Portugal and UK entities, working with external advisers where needed
Requirements
- Fully qualified accountant — CA(SA), ACCA, CIMA or equivalent
- 4+ years post-qualification / post-articles experience in financial accounting, ideally in a commercial, multi-entity environment
- Hands-on experience with month-end journals, general ledger accounting and balance sheet reconciliations
- NetSuite experience highly advantageous (or a comparable multi-entity ERP); strong Excel skills
- Experience reviewing the work of a bookkeeper or AP team member is a plus
- A detail-oriented, self-sufficient operator who can manage recurring deadlines, question unsupported numbers, and communicate clearly and concisely
