About the role

We are looking for an experienced and forward-looking Lead Financial Accountant to take a key role in our Finance organisation.

In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting while supporting compliance

with accounting standards and tax regulations. This is more than a senior accounting position. You will combine hands-on

accounting expertise with responsibility for developing accounting best practices, coaching and mentoring colleagues across

Europe, and driving continuous improvement initiatives.

You will work closely with local and Group Finance teams and play a central role in strengthening financial processes, controls

and reporting across the business. Acting as a trusted accounting expert, you will support the wider organisation with technical

accounting matters, develop consistent and well-controlled ways of working, and help build a high-performing finance function

across Europe.

We are looking for someone who combines strong technical accounting expertise with leadership, curiosity and a genuine passion for

developing people, systems and processes.

• Prepare month-end and year-end closing activities, including fixed assets, R&D accounting, VAT returns, inventory accounting,

balance sheet reconciliations and Percentage of Completion (POC) accounting.

• Ensure compliance with local tax regulations and accounting requirements, working closely with local finance teams and external

advisers.

• Act as the lead accounting expert and trusted partner for finance colleagues across Europe, providing guidance on complex

accounting and reporting matters.

• Strengthen the financial control environment, including balance sheet governance, accounting controls, reconciliations and

documentation.

• Identify and implement improvements to financial processes, systems and controls, with a focus on simplification,

standardisation and automation.

• Coach, mentor and support finance colleagues, helping develop capability, technical expertise and ways of working across the

team.

• Proven experience leading, coaching or mentoring finance professionals and acting as a senior accounting expert within an

organisation.

• Advanced Excel skills and experience with financial systems such as Medius and IDC. Knowledge of Qlik, ThinkCell or similar

tools would be advantageous.

We offer you a highly interesting role in a global setting. Together with the team around you, you will have the opportunity to

help us achieve our vision of a future with no waste. At Evac, we foster an inclusive and safe culture where colleagues know and

trust each other. This position provides a visible opportunity to influence how financial accounting operates and develops across

multiple countries and business entities.
