Support the delivery of internal and external audits and year-end activities, working closely with Finance Controllers, Group Finance and auditors to ensure a robust and well-controlled environment.
Collaborate with Finance Operations colleagues, FP&A, embedded finance, Treasury, international bureaux managers and BBC service providers, building strong relationships to resolve issues and support global operations effectively.
Document and apply accounting judgements and policies, while proactively identifying opportunities to improve processes, strengthen controls and drive efficiency across Finance Operations

Professionally qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with strong technical accounting expertise
Proven experience in financial operations and balance sheet control, including preparing reconciliations, identifying issues, investigating variances, and ensuring accuracy and completeness of financial data
Strong understanding of internal controls, accounting standards and governance, with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail
Experience using accounting systems and advanced Excel skills to analyse, validate and manipulate financial data

Experience supporting internal/external audit and year-end processes
Exposure to international finance operations, including multi-currency or overseas stakeholders
