As part of strengthening its global Accounting and Finance team, Spire is seeking a Senior Accountant to be based in Glasgow. The successful candidate will be detail-oriented, proactive, and passionate about adding value to Spire through a strong focus on timely and accurate financial accounting and reporting, process documentation and compliance, and a determination to continue to enhance Spire's scalability.

We are looking for a motivated and flexible individual, a self-starter, eager to learn, and with a willingness to pick up a varied range of tasks. The successful candidate will most likely be recently ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent qualified. You will be a valued member of a small, but growing, global Spire accounting team, reporting directly to the EMEA Controller.

You will have the unique opportunity to join a recently publicly listed company, helping to develop and document the new processes required in a Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) controls environment, and providing assistance with a wide range of tasks which will afford you a solid foundation and understanding of the requirements to succeed and develop in a high-performing accounting function.

What You'll Do:

Financial Reporting & Month-End Close:

  • Supporting the delivery of timely and accurate financial information in accordance with our monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting cycles.
  • Preparation of prepayments and accruals, and other journal entry processing.
  • Collaboration with internal and external auditors to provide necessary documentation and supporting explanations for our EMEA areas.
  • Enhancement of the documentation of our desktop procedures.

Payroll & Compliance:

  • Manage and oversee the UK payroll process, ensuring accuracy and compliance with HMRC regulations, including PAYE, NI, and pension contributions.
  • Liaise with HR and finance teams to resolve any payroll discrepancies or queries.
  • Prepare and submit payroll-related tax filings and reports, including Employee Related Securities (ERS) and PAYE self-assessment (PSA).
  • Ensure payroll journals are correctly recorded in the accounting system.
  • Provide cover for Luxembourg, Germany, and Singapore payroll processes.
  • Support various SOX compliance initiatives.

Fixed Asset Controls & Process Improvement:

  • Develop and implement new processes for satellite manufacturing fixed assets tracking and control.
  • Ensure accurate capitalization, depreciation, and disposal of assets in line with accounting policies.
  • Conduct periodic fixed asset audits.
  • Recommend and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency and accuracy in asset management, tracking, and control.

Balance Sheet Reconciliations:

  • Perform and enhance monthly EMEA balance sheet reconciliation process, ensuring completeness and accuracy.
  • Investigate and resolve reconciling items promptly.
  • Assist in maintaining a robust financial control environment, ensuring compliance with company policies and accounting standards.
  • Explore and implement FloQast process improvements, adopting and sharing best practices.

Other Duties:

  • Support finance projects and system improvements to enhance reporting accuracy and efficiency.
  • Work closely with other departments to improve financial processes and controls.
  • Stay up to date with changes in accounting and payroll regulations, ensuring compliance.

Key Skills:

  • ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent qualification, or qualified by experience.
  • Minimum of 5 years relevant accounting and finance experience.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team, to take on new tasks with varying levels of complexity, in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment.
  • Experience with fixed asset accounting and process improvement initiatives.
  • Knowledge of UK payroll processes, tax regulations, and compliance requirements.
  • Experience of working within the rigorous control environment of listed company requirements is preferable.
  • Excellent analytical skills, high attention to detail, and pride in presenting financial information in a clear and concise, professional manner.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to interact with stakeholders across different levels.
  • Proficiency in accounting systems (e.g., SAP, NetSuite, Xero, or similar) and advanced Excel skills.

Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office.

Access to US export-controlled software and/or technology may be required for this role. If needed, Spire will arrange the necessary licenses; this is not something candidates need to have before applying.
