About the Role

• Reporting into the Finance leadership team, you will take ownership of key financial reporting processes while supporting a large-scale IT transformation.

• Support and strengthen the financial control framework during an ongoing IT transformation
• Perform month-end close, including balance sheet reconciliations and variance analysis
• Own and deliver accurate balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring timely resolution of discrepancies
• Partner with stakeholders to drive accurate accruals and month-end outcomes
• Prepare and analyse the 14-week rolling cash flow forecast
• Take ownership of the stock accounting process, including forecasting and variance analysis
• Collaborate across Finance, including AP, AR, commercial teams, and branches
• Mentor and support a small team (1 Accountant, 2 Assistant Accountants)
• Drive process improvements and best practice financial discipline across divisions

Why Join O’Brien?

• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
• Be part of a well-known, growing organisation backed by Belron
• Work on a major transformation project with real impact
• Access learning, development, and career progression opportunities

About You

Key Requirements

• 5+ years’ experience in a similar financial accounting role
• Strong understanding of financial reporting, controls, and compliance
• Proven ability to meet deadlines and manage competing priorities
