Robert Half is exclusively partnering with a private equity-backed renewable energy business to hire a Group Financial Accountant into their London-based finance team. This is a high-impact role within a growing, internationally operating business, offering strong exposure across group reporting, consolidation and senior stakeholder interaction.

The opportunity

Sitting within a flat and collaborative Group Finance function, this is a hands-on position where you'll take ownership of month-end and consolidation while supporting a fast-scaling, multi-entity business. You'll work closely with the Group Financial Controller and wider finance leadership, gaining broad exposure across technical accounting, audit and process improvement in a business where finance is central to decision-making.

Key responsibilities

• Own the group month-end close across central and corporate entities, ensuring accuracy and timely delivery
• Lead the consolidation process (Lucanet), including intercompany eliminations, multi-currency and FX considerations
• Deliver high-quality group reporting with clear analysis and insight for senior stakeholders
• Support the year-end audit process, acting as a key point of contact for auditors and preparing supporting documentation
• Review and challenge balance sheet reconciliations, identifying risks, inconsistencies and areas for improvement
• Work across multiple systems (including NetSuite and local reporting tools), helping to improve reporting quality and consistency
• Drive improvements across processes, controls and reporting as the business continues to scale

What we're looking for

• ACA qualified (practice-trained preferred, ideally Top 10 background)
• Strong technical grounding with exposure to audited group environments and complex structures
• Experience leading audit assignments and working closely with key stakeholders
• Proven experience or exposure to consolidation and intercompany accounting
• Confident working with large data sets and multiple reporting systems
• Proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to operate independently in a growing business
• Strong communication skills - personable, credible and able to engage across all levels

Why apply?

• Join a high-growth, PE-backed renewable energy platform in a purpose-led sector
• Broad, hands-on role with real ownership and visibility across Group Finance
• Exposure to senior stakeholders and the opportunity to influence decision-making
• Opportunity to shape processes and add genuine value as the business scales
• Collaborative, ambitious team environment with strong development potential
