Senior Accountant (Bristol)

Senior Accountant

We are seeking a high-performing Senior Accountant to drive financial accuracy, strengthen balance sheet integrity, and lead fixed asset accounting within a manufacturing environment.

This is a hands-on, ownership-driven role —not a maintenance position. We’re looking for someone who challenges inconsistencies, digs into the details, and ensures financial data is fully supportable, audit-ready, and aligned with strong internal controls. The ideal candidate will have strong IFRS skills.

What You’ll Own

Month-End Close & Financial Reporting

• Lead month-end close activities including journal entries, accruals, and adjustments
• Deliver timely, accurate, and fully supported financial results
• Analyze performance and provide clear, actionable variance explanations
• Identify issues early and drive resolution

Balance Sheet Integrity

• Prepare and review reconciliations (cash, prepaids, accruals, intercompany)
• Ensure all balances are fully supported and audit-ready
• Investigate discrepancies and resolve efficiently
• Maintain organized, defensible documentation

Fixed Assets & Capital Controls

• Manage the full fixed asset lifecycle , including CIP (Construction in Progress)
• Enforce capitalization policies and ensure compliance
• Reconcile subledger to general ledger and record depreciation
• Partner with operations to validate assets and capital spend
• Monitor CIP aging, approvals, and documentation
• Identify misclassified, idle, or impaired assets

AP / AR Support

• Provide backup support for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable
• Assist with invoicing, payments, and cash application
• Ensure continuity during peak periods or absences
• Identify and implement process improvements

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance
• 5–8+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Manufacturing experience (preferred)
• Strong fixed asset accounting experience (highly preferred)
• SAP or ERP system experience (preferred)

Core Strengths

• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to identify and solve problems quickly
• Willingness to challenge processes and drive improvement
• High attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
• Deep understanding of financial controls and audit readiness
• Clear, professional communication skills

Why This Role Stands Out

• High visibility – directly impacts financial accuracy and decision-making
• Ownership – you control key areas of the balance sheet and capital tracking
• Operational exposure – partner with plant leadership on real assets and investments
• Growth opportunity – build toward Controller-level responsibilities

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation
• Comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision)
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off
• Stable, growth-oriented environment
