NXTGEN have an immediate requirement for an Interim Senior Accountant to join a prestigious and highly successful global trading group in London on an initial 12-month contract, inside IR35. This is a key role within a high performing subsidiary of the group, and the successful Interim Senior Accountant will take full ownership of the financial accounting, reporting, and valuation of commodities and FX positions across multiple entities. You'll ensure all trading activity is accurately captured within statutory reporting and will also play a pivotal role in delivering best-in-class reporting standards throughout a period of transformation. With the business continuing to evolve and invest in systems and process improvements, as Senior Accountant you'll be encouraged to challenge the status quo, contributing to control enhancements and identifying opportunities to optimise reporting across the trading landscape. This is a high-impact role offering real variety and visibility with senior stakeholders across Finance, Treasury and Group Reporting.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Ownership of financial accounting and reporting for all commodity and FX trading activities

  • Month-end close and statutory reporting including P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow reviews

  • Delivery of FX and commodity hedge accounting under IFRS 9 and IFRS 13

  • Preparation of Group-level disclosures on derivatives, financial instruments, and risk management

  • Supporting the year-end and interim audits with detailed reporting packs and analysis
