A growing international consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior Management Accountant with strong NetSuite and Revenue Recognition experience to join its finance team.

This is a highly visible role where you will take ownership of the company's revenue recognition processes, revenue reporting, and monthly management accounts. As such, previous hands-on NetSuite experience and a proven track record managing revenue recognition are essential requirements.

Candidates without both NetSuite and revenue recognition experience are unlikely to be considered.

The Opportunity

This position will suit a qualified accountant who has worked within a project-based or professional services environment and has significant experience overseeing complex revenue streams.

You will act as the finance lead for revenue recognition and revenue reporting, ensuring data integrity, reporting accuracy and compliance with accounting standards, whilst providing valuable commercial insight to key stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading and owning the revenue recognition process across the business.
• Managing project-based revenue accounting and ensuring accurate revenue reporting.
• Producing monthly management accounts packs with detailed analysis and commentary.
• Supporting budgeting and forecasting activities with a particular focus on revenue and gross profit.
• Completing balance sheet reconciliations relating to accrued and deferred income.
• Working extensively within NetSuite, ensuring the finance system is utilised effectively and accurately.
• Supporting stakeholders with queries relating to projects, revenue reporting and financial processes.
• Partnering with operational teams to improve reporting and financial visibility.
• Supporting month-end close, journal postings, accruals and prepayments.
• Assisting with external audits and preparation of supporting documentation.
• Utilising reporting tools and dashboards to monitor pipeline activity and financial performance.

What You'll Need

Essential

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified.
• Demonstrable NetSuite experience gained in a finance environment.
• Strong revenue recognition experience, ideally within a project-based or service-led business.
• Previous management accounting experience.
• Excellent understanding of accrued and deferred revenue.
• Strong month-end and financial reporting experience.
• Advanced Excel skills.
• Strong stakeholder management and business partnering capabilities.
• Ability to work autonomously and manage competing priorities.

What's On Offer

• Competitive salary of 65-80k (DOE) and benefits package.
• Hybrid working.
• A broad and commercially focused finance role.
• Significant exposure to senior stakeholders.
• Opportunities for professional development and progression.

Please Note

NetSuite and Revenue Recognition experience are the two key requirements for this position. Applicants should be able to demonstrate hands-on experience managing revenue recognition processes and using NetSuite within a commercial finance function.
