Our client, a payments business based in Luxembourg, is currently working through a period of operational improvement across its group accounting function. To provide additional capacity while that transformation continues, they are looking for an experienced accounting contractor.
This is a hands-on assignment. You will take independent ownership of defined entities or balance sheet areas, run month end close, and work through unreconciled and historically messy balances, alongside supporting statutory audits directly with external auditors. There is a strong SAP remediation element too, correcting posting and mapping issues, rebuilding audit trails, and helping establish SAP as a reliable source of truth. Beyond the accounting itself, you will be expected to tighten controls, document processes properly, and reduce reliance on any one person holding institutional knowledge.
The right person will have at least seven years in financial accounting, including genuine ownership of entities or workstreams through month end close, a solid grounding in accruals, cut off, reconciliations and intercompany accounting, and experience defending numbers to external auditors. Advanced Excel and real SAP experience are essential. Multi entity, multi-currency exposure and a background in fintech, payments or another regulated industry would help, as would a recognised accounting qualification.
This is an independent contract assignment for an initial twelve months, with the possibility of extension. You can be based in Luxembourg or work remotely within Europe, with occasional travel required.
If this sounds like the kind of assignment you would take on, please apply to find out more.
