Cost Accountant

Why Join Us

Step into a mission-critical financial seat within an industry-defining global market infrastructure leader. Operating across more than 27 countries and moving global capital every day, our enterprise provides the technology and execution liquidity that power international financial and commodities markets.

Here, you will not be handling routine, passive data entry. You will be an essential financial gatekeeper taking direct ownership of regional cost schedules, asset capitalisations, and robust balance sheet controls across an elite multinational footprint.

The Mission

As our Cost Accountant, you will steer the accuracy, governance, and month-end reporting of regional support function expenditures, fixed assets, and intercompany settlements across our global network.

Key Priorities:

• Own Regional Cost Portfolios: Manage end-to-end accruals and prepayments for corporate support functions, assessing invoice timing and executing precision ledger adjustments.
• Manage Fixed Assets & WIP: Oversee the regional Fixed Asset Register and Work-In-Progress (WIP), steering asset capitalisation, depreciation schedules, impairment reviews, and IAS 16 / IAS 38 compliance.
• Drive Spend Governance: Serve as the direct financial authority approving Purchase Orders, advising procurement on chart-of-accounts coding, and maintaining strict CAPEX vs. OPEX distinctions.
• Balance Sheet Integrity: Prepare and substantiate monthly balance sheet reconciliations in Trintech, resolve complex intercompany differences, and deliver audit-ready schedules for Group disclosures.
• Automate Core Processes: Partner with Finance Systems and IT to eliminate repetitive routines and optimize month-end workflows.

What You Bring to the Table

• Accounting Foundation: Degree in Accountancy/Finance; part-qualified accountant (CPA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent foundation).
• Technical Standards: Solid working knowledge of Fixed Asset Accounting (IAS 16 / IAS 38), prepayments, accruals, and corporate tax/VAT principles.
• Excel & Analytical Strengths: Strong Microsoft Excel skills with proven capability in analyzing complex datasets and building formula-driven models.
• Systems Familiarity: Prior experience using enterprise systems like Oracle, Trintech, SmartView, or OneStream is an advantage.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience working across a shared services or multi-regional global finance framework.
• Hands-on involvement in month-end automation or workflow improvement initiatives.
