Job Description

Interim External Reporting Manager - 6months - FTSE100 PLC - c. £550 / day

Your new company
Step into a large, complex, and highly visible financial environment where technical accounting really matters. This is a rare opportunity to join a central reporting function at the heart of a major UK organisation, one that deals with high‑impact disclosures, senior‑level scrutiny, and a genuine commitment to improving financial reporting quality. If you’re looking for an environment where your technical skills actually get used, this is the perfect landing spot.
Your new role
You’ll play a key role in shaping external reporting across quarterly results cycles and year‑end disclosures. Expect exposure to senior finance stakeholders and the chance to take ownership of complex accounting areas, narrative reporting, and high‑profile notes. You’ll help coordinate reporting timetables, refine processes, contribute to governance over unusual items, and work closely with auditors. There’s also involvement in wider reporting initiatives, from ESG and non‑financial disclosures to improvements in reporting systems and controls.
What you'll need to succeed
This role is ideal for a technically strong ACA with Big 4 or top‑tier audit experience looking to step into an influential group‑level position. You’ll bring:

  • A deep understanding of IFRS and external reporting
  • Experience leading or reviewing audits and handling complex disclosures
  • Strong organisational discipline and comfort working to tight deadlines
  • The ability to partner with senior finance contacts and explain technical matters clearly
  • A proactive mindset, strong attention to detail, and an appetite for improving processes
If you’ve ever reviewed annual report notes at 1am during year‑end and thought, “I’d love to be on the other side of this next time”... this is that role.
