You’ll lead and support key month-end and year-end accounting activities, ensuring financial information is accurate, complete, and recorded in the correct accounting period. This includes preparing and reviewing accounting entries such as accruals, prepayments, deferred income, accrued income, revenue recognition adjustments, and balance sheet reconciliations.
You’ll help maintain the general ledger, support monthly management accounts, oversee fixed asset records, and ensure documentation is clear, consistent, and audit-ready.
Your work will include:
- Month-end and year-end close activities
- Accruals, prepayments, deferred income, accrued income, and revenue adjustments
- Balance sheet reconciliations and supporting documentation
- General ledger accuracy and financial record integrity
- Fixed asset register maintenance and verification
- Payroll processing across relevant jurisdictions
Audit & Compliance
You’ll act as a key contact for external auditors and help coordinate statutory audit activity. Working closely with colleagues across Finance, you’ll support the preparation of audit schedules, statutory accounts, technical accounting analysis, and supporting documentation.
This is an important part of the role, helping ensure GÉANT remains compliant with relevant accounting standards, statutory requirements, tax regulations, EC rules, and internal control expectations.
Treasury & Cash Management
You’ll support cash management and cash flow forecasting processes, helping ensure bank transactions are recorded accurately and financial information remains up to date.
You’ll monitor bank activity, support payment-related processes where required, and contribute to the overall accuracy and reliability of cash and treasury records.
Systems & Process Improvement
GÉANT is currently strengthening its accounting environment, with further improvements planned across processes, systems, and controls. This role offers the opportunity to contribute directly to how the Finance function works in the future.
You’ll support finance system development, process automation, reporting improvements, and continuous improvement activities. You’ll also help maintain high-quality financial data and contribute to better structures, controls, and ways of working across the team.
Organisation & Delivery
This is a detail-heavy role where you’ll manage multiple priorities across reporting cycles, audits, payroll deadlines, accounting processes, and stakeholder requests. You’ll need to be organised, proactive, and comfortable working across different locations and teams.
The CFO team operates across Cambridge and Amsterdam, so effective collaboration will be important. Regular travel between offices is anticipated while you build relationships, and occasional travel within Europe may also be required.
