Accounting Manager - EMEA

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:21:44 GMT

We're partnering with a global organisation that supports some of the world's most recognised brands and enterprises. This position is being represented to the market on a fixed term basis for a period of 6 months and therefore requires someone who is immediately available or able to start at short notice. For the right individual this role could be made permanent immediately.

This is a highly visible role with a specific focus on revenue recognition across the EMEA region. The successful candidate will take ownership of a key revenue recognition project, reviewing existing accounting treatments, investigating historic and current reporting issues and ensuring revenue is recognised accurately, consistently and in accordance with the relevant accounting standards.

The role will suit an experienced accounting professional who enjoys getting beneath the numbers and is comfortable working through complex contracts, revenue streams and accounting treatments. You will be expected to identify inconsistencies, challenge existing processes and work with stakeholders across the business to establish robust and sustainable revenue recognition practices.

Alongside the revenue project, you will support the wider EMEA accounting function through month-end reporting, P&L investigation, process improvement and strengthening financial controls.

Accounting Manager EMEA - About The Role

The primary focus of this position will be to lead a detailed review of revenue recognition across multiple EMEA entities, ensuring that revenue is accounted for appropriately under both IFRS and US GAAP.

You will need strong technical accounting knowledge combined with an investigative and hands-on approach. This will involve reviewing contracts and existing accounting treatments, understanding how revenue is currently recorded and identifying areas where recognition, cut-off, accruals or deferrals require correction or improvement.

A key element of the assignment will involve Percentage of Completion (POC) accounting, making previous experience within project-based, contract-led or long-term revenue environments particularly valuable.

You will work closely with Finance and operational stakeholders to understand the commercial substance of customer arrangements and ensure this is accurately reflected within the financial accounts. Where historic processes or treatments require improvement, you will be expected to identify the root cause, recommend the appropriate accounting treatment and implement stronger controls going forward.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced technical accountant who enjoys solving complex accounting issues and wants to make a tangible impact within a sophisticated international finance function.

Key Responsibilities

Take ownership of a significant EMEA revenue recognition project, reviewing existing processes and accounting treatments across multiple entities.
Review customer contracts and commercial arrangements to determine the appropriate timing and method of revenue recognition.
Ensure revenue is recognised accurately and consistently in accordance with IFRS and US GAAP, including the relevant principles of IFRS 15 and ASC 606.
Review and challenge Percentage of Completion (POC) accounting, ensuring appropriate recognition of revenue and associated costs across long-term projects.
Investigate revenue-related P&L discrepancies, accounting anomalies and historic reporting issues.
Review accrued income, deferred revenue, contract assets and contract liabilities, ensuring balances are fully supported and reconciled.
Assess revenue cut-off and ensure transactions are recorded within the appropriate accounting period.
Identify weaknesses or inconsistencies within current revenue recognition processes and implement improved controls and procedures.
Work closely with commercial and operational stakeholders to understand contractual terms, project delivery milestones and other factors impacting revenue recognition.
Prepare and review journal entries, reconciliations and supporting schedules relating to revenue.
Support the month-end close process across multiple EMEA entities, ensuring revenue-related reporting is accurate and delivered within agreed deadlines.
Strengthen the quality, consistency and audit trail of revenue reporting across the region.
Produce clear documentation of revenue recognition methodologies, accounting judgements and supporting controls.
Support internal and external audit queries relating to revenue and associated balance sheet accounts.
Assist with wider P&L investigations, balance sheet reconciliations and accounting improvement initiatives where required.
Work collaboratively with Finance, Operations and other senior stakeholders across an international organisation.

The Successful Accounting Manager EMEA Will Have

Significant revenue recognition experience gained within a complex business environment.
Strong practical knowledge of IFRS 15 and US GAAP / ASC 606 revenue recognition principles.
Previous experience of Percentage of Completion (POC) accounting or accounting for long-term projects and contracts.
Experience reviewing complex customer contracts and translating commercial terms into appropriate accounting treatment.
Strong understanding of accrued revenue, deferred revenue, contract assets, contract liabilities and revenue cut-off.
Experience investigating and resolving revenue-related P&L and balance sheet discrepancies.
Strong knowledge of IFRS and US GAAP.
Experience working within a complex, multi-entity and international environment.
Excellent analytical, investigative and problem-solving skills.
The confidence to challenge existing accounting treatments and processes where appropriate.
ACA, ACCA, CPA, CIMA or equivalent qualification.

Financial Controller - EMEA - About The Role

You will need resilience, tenacity and a hands-on approach. This is not a role for someone who simply wants to oversee an established reporting process. We are looking for someone who enjoys unpicking complex accounting issues, reconciling historic balances and getting to the root cause of reporting discrepancies.

Working as part of the wider EMEA finance function, the successful candidate will take ownership of a significant revenue recognition reconciliation project. You will review revenue-related accounts and supporting data across multiple entities, identify inconsistencies between accounting records and underlying commercial information and determine the appropriate corrective action.

A key element of the assignment will be understanding how revenue has historically been recognised, particularly within a project-based environment, and ensuring that balances are supported, reconciled and accounted for correctly under the appropriate accounting standards.

You will work closely with stakeholders across Finance and the wider business to obtain supporting information, challenge existing treatments and resolve outstanding issues. Alongside correcting historic discrepancies, you will also help identify weaknesses within existing processes and recommend improvements that create greater accuracy and control around revenue reporting in the future.

Key Responsibilities

Take ownership of a detailed revenue recognition reconciliation project across multiple EMEA entities.
Review and reconcile revenue-related balance sheet and P&L accounts, identifying historic discrepancies and unsupported balances.
Investigate differences between revenue recognised within the financial accounts and underlying contracts, projects, billing information and supporting documentation.
Review the application of Percentage of Completion (POC) accounting and other revenue recognition methodologies across relevant contracts and projects.
Analyse historic accounting entries and transactions to understand how balances have arisen and determine the appropriate corrective treatment.
Investigate complex revenue recognition queries and identify the root cause of accounting and reporting discrepancies.
Prepare and post, or recommend, appropriate correcting journals and adjustments.
Ensure revenue is recognised appropriately in accordance with IFRS and US GAAP requirements.
Work closely with Finance and operational stakeholders to obtain and validate supporting information.
Improve the quality and integrity of revenue reconciliations and supporting documentation.
Identify weaknesses within existing revenue recognition processes and controls and recommend practical improvements.
Establish clearer and more robust reconciliation processes to support accurate revenue reporting going forward.
Support the wider finance team with revenue-related accounting queries arising during month-end and reporting cycles.
Provide clear visibility to senior finance stakeholders regarding outstanding issues, findings, corrective actions and project progress.

The Successful Financial Controller - EMEA Will Have

Strong technical accounting knowledge, particularly in relation to revenue recognition.
Strong knowledge of IFRS and US GAAP.
Previous experience of Percentage of Completion (POC) accounting and accounting for project or contract-based revenue.
Demonstrable experience of undertaking complex financial reconciliations and investigating historic accounting discrepancies.
Experience working within a complex, multi-entity and international environment.
The ability to work through significant volumes of financial data and supporting documentation to identify inconsistencies and root causes.
Strong problem-solving, analytical and investigative skills.
Excellent critical thinking skills with the confidence to challenge existing accounting treatments and processes.
ACA, ACCA, CPA, CIMA or equivalent qualification.
Significant accounting experience within complex finance environments.
A track record of improving accounting processes, reconciliations and financial controls.

Finance Manager – About The Role

Howett Thorpe are delighted to be partnering with an established and successful group to recruit a Finance Manager into its London-based finance team.

This is a particularly interesting opportunity for an ambitious finance professional looking for more than a traditional reporting role. Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, the successful individual will take ownership of a broad finance remit spanning management accounting, financial control, transactional oversight and team development, whilst also playing an important role in shaping how the finance function evolves.

The business is keen to continue modernising its finance processes and there will be genuine scope for the Finance Manager to challenge existing ways of working and explore how automation, technology and AI can be incorporated into day-to-day processes. The objective is not simply automation for automation's sake, but identifying practical opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy, controls and the quality of financial information.

Alongside this improvement agenda, the fundamentals of the finance function remain critically important. The Head of Finance is looking for someone who brings real rigour to their day-to-day operating rhythm; someone who is disciplined around deadlines, reconciliations, controls and financial close, takes ownership of their responsibilities and consistently maintains high standards of accuracy.

This person will become a trusted number two to the Head of Finance and, over time, will be encouraged to take on broader responsibilities across the function. For the right individual, there is a genuine opportunity to develop into a potential succession option for the Head of Finance, making this an excellent career move for someone with the ambition and capability to progress.

The role will include:

Oversee the preparation and delivery of monthly management accounts, including journals, accruals, prepayments and supporting schedules.
Ensure monthly reporting is accurate, complete and delivered within agreed deadlines.
Review financial outputs, investigate variances and maintain a disciplined and controlled month-end close process.
Maintain the integrity of the balance sheet through robust review and approval of balance sheet reconciliations.
Oversee bank reconciliations across multiple accounts and currencies.
Continually review key cash, client and third-party balances, ensuring discrepancies are understood and resolved.
Maintain strong financial controls and appropriate levels of review and approval across the finance function.
Review and approve supplier payment runs and associated payment processing.
Oversee client and third-party transactions, settlements and associated financial controls.
Oversee VAT calculations, returns and other statutory or regulatory reporting requirements.
Support audit processes and ensure appropriate supporting documentation and controls are maintained.
Manage and develop a junior accountant, allocating responsibilities, reviewing output and supporting their continued professional development.
Provide effective review and sign-off of work produced within the team.
Identify opportunities to improve month-end, reconciliation, reporting and transactional finance processes.
Review how existing technology is being utilised and identify opportunities to introduce greater automation.
Explore practical applications for AI and emerging technology within the finance function to reduce manual processes and improve efficiency.
Continually strengthen the quality, consistency and efficiency of financial reporting and controls.
Work closely with the Head of Finance, increasingly taking ownership of broader responsibilities and acting as a dependable second point of leadership within the function.
Build effective relationships across the wider organisation and provide clear, accurate financial information to support decision-making.

The successful Finance Manager will have:

Finalist or newly qualified CIMA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualification.
A minimum of 3 years' experience gained within a commercial finance environment.
Strong management accounting and financial reporting experience.
Excellent understanding of balance sheet reconciliations and financial controls.
Experience of managing a disciplined month-end process and working to defined reporting deadlines.
Experience of VAT and statutory or regulatory reporting.
Previous experience of managing, supervising or mentoring junior finance staff.
The ability to establish and maintain a consistent and rigorous operating rhythm.
High levels of ownership and accountability, with the confidence to see issues through to resolution.
The ability to review existing processes critically rather than simply accepting that "this is how it has always been done".
An interest in technology, automation and the evolving use of AI within finance.
A continuous improvement mindset with the ability to identify practical efficiencies.
The ambition and capability to develop into a broader finance leadership position over time.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has established a strong technical foundation but now wants greater ownership, visibility and influence. The successful individual will have the opportunity to combine the discipline of running a well-controlled finance operation with the more forward-looking challenge of improving how the function operates and, importantly, develop towards becoming a future finance leader within the organisation.
