Key ResponsibilitiesGroup Management Accounts & Close
• Own the full month-end close process across all group entities – journals, accruals, prepayments, revenue recognition and intercompany accounting – from first entry to completed management accounts pack.
• Produce the monthly consolidated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow with accurate variance analysis and commentary ready for senior review.
• Own and maintain the group management accounts model (currently excel-based, with a clear roadmap to full process automation), keeping it robust, well-controlled and clearly documented.
• Manage the group consolidation process including intercompany eliminations, minority interests and multi-currency translation.
• Meet the close timetable every month across time zones, managing competing priorities independently and escalating risks early with context and a recommended course of action.
**Balance Sheet Reconciliations •**Own all balance sheet reconciliations across group entities – fully supported, clearly evidenced and audit-ready every month, not just at year end.
• Ensure every reconciliation is complete and reviewable at any point in the month, with reconciling items identified, owned and resolved promptly.
• Use AI tooling to support reconciliation processes – automating matching, flagging anomalies and reducing time spent on manual review.
Financial Controls & Risk• Operate with an audit and controls mindset across everything you produce – complete, accurate, clearly evidenced and reviewable by a third party at any point.
• Own and manage the period close process – maintaining a clear close checklist, tracking progress across all entities and tasks, ensuring nothing is missed and the timetable is met every month without exception.
• Identify and escalate period close risks early – with context, a clear assessment of impact and a recommended course of action, not just a flag.
• Take ownership of assigned areas within Modulr’s internal control framework, identifying gaps or weaknesses proactively and raising them with recommended remediation.
• Ensure source data in NetSuite and upstream systems is accurate, well-documented and consistently maintained.
• Support internal and external audit processes, producing well-evidenced responses to queries and ensuring nothing needs rework.
Cross-Border & Intercompany Accounting• Own the end-to-end intercompany accounting process across group entities, ensuring transactions are accurately recorded, reconciled and eliminated on consolidation.
• Apply working knowledge of cross-border accounting considerations – including transfer pricing, foreign currency accounting and tax implications – across group entity reporting.
• Maintain intercompany balances and agreements, flagging inconsistencies and working with the relevant teams to resolve them.
Group Regulatory Reporting• Prepare and reconcile regulatory reports, ensuring accurate agreement back to the management accounts and compliance with UK and EU regulatory requirements.
• Apply the relevant accounting standards across all reporting outputs, including UK GAAP and/or IFRS, NL GAAP and India GAAP, according to the requirements of each entity.
• Respond to regulatory and audit queries accurately and promptly, to a standard that reflects Modulr’s obligations as a regulated entity.
Systems, Automation & Process Improvement• Act as a confident and capable user of NetSuite, taking ownership of journal processing, reconciliation workflows and reporting outputs within the system.
• Identify and deliver automation of manual reporting and reconciliation tasks using AI tools, Power Automate, NetSuite workflows or equivalent.
• Document process improvements and time savings, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement across the Financial Reporting function.
Stakeholder Engagement• Engage confidently with finance and non-finance stakeholders across the global business – communicating clearly, managing expectations and raising issues with the right level of context.
• Build trusted working relationships with Payment Operations, FP&A, Data and Tech teams to resolve issues at source rather than at close.
Team Management• Manage a small team of Financial Accountants, providing day-to-day direction, workload management and support through the close.
• Review and take ownership of work produced by the team before it feeds into the group consolidation or goes to senior review – maintaining the same standard you hold for your own output.
• Coach and develop team members according to their level – building technical capability in junior staff while stretching more experienced colleagues.
• Set clear expectations on quality, timeliness and controls standards, and hold them consistently.
• Identify capacity or capability gaps early and flag to the Financial Control leadership team with a recommended plan.
