Are you a technically strong accountant who thrives on detail, accuracy, and problem‑solving? Do you enjoy interpreting complex contracts and ensuring revenue is recognised correctly? Are you looking for a role where you can influence senior stakeholders and improve processes across a large, multi‑site organisation?
Here at GXO, we’re looking for a Senior Revenue & Technical Accountant. As part of our central Finance & Controllership team, you’ll have a key role in ensuring the accuracy, compliance, and integrity of our revenue and technical reporting across multiple UK Business Units.
This is a technically rich, hands‑on role where you’ll review customer contract terms, assess revenue treatment under US GAAP and IFRS, perform deep balance‑sheet analysis, and help shape the way GXO accounts for complex and judgemental areas.
Working closely with Finance Directors, Business Partners, Site Finance teams and senior leaders, you’ll become a trusted expert, challenging assumptions, improving processes, strengthening SOX revenue controls, and helping us maintain a high‑quality financial reporting environment.
You’ll also play a part in wider transformation initiatives including system enhancements, Oracle improvements, and acquisition integrations, all while contributing to a collaborative, supportive team culture.
This is a full-time permanent position. You’ll be working Monday to Friday, 09:00 till 17:00 with a requirement to be in our Northampton office 3 days per week. However, some flexibility is required, this is logistics after all!
Pay, benefits and more:
We’re looking to offer a salary between the range of £60,000 to £70,000 per annum, depending on experience, plus the option of a company car or car allowance to the value of £505 per month and 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays). Your benefits package includes a company sponsored pension scheme and private medical cover.
What you’ll do on a typical day:
- Ensure revenue is recognised accurately and in line with customer contracts, US GAAP, and internal policies
- Review and approve timing adjustments to ensure correct cut‑off and monitor aged, accrued revenue and associated risks
- Perform detailed reviews of inter‑company and intra‑company revenue, ensuring correct classifications for Group consolidation
- Lead or contribute to key SOX revenue controls, including cash proof reconciliations, contract reviews and revenue variance analysis
- Support technical accounting activities such as reviewing new business contracts, assessing unusual revenue/cost timing, and examining complex areas like provisions, FV adjustments and embedded leases
What you need to succeed at GXO:
- ACA/ACCA qualified, with strong financial accounting and audit background
- Experience with US GAAP, SOX controls, and working in complex or multi‑site organisations
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with exceptional attention to detail and the ability to challenge constructively
- Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with systems (Oracle experience highly desirable)
- Excellent communication skills, able to engage Finance Directors, business partners and non‑finance stakeholders clearly and credible
- A self‑starter mindset: someone who takes ownership, works independently, and thrives in a busy, collaborative team environment
