Wish you were here? We do, too!

Every month, one set of numbers has to speak for the entire Group: a portfolio of consumer travel brands, multiple legal entities, several countries and currencies, all pulled into a single set of consolidated financial statements under IFRS. Those statements are what our leadership steers by, what our auditors test, and what the market reads.

We are looking for a Consolidation & Statutory Reporting Specialist to help produce them.

The Consolidation & Statutory Reporting team is deliberately small. There is no layer between you and the output: you will own workstreams end to end, report directly to the Head of department, and see your work land in the numbers the Group publishes.

It also puts you at the centre of the finance organisation. The team sits at the point where every local finance team, the Group functions and the external auditors converge, so you will build a view of how the whole business works that few other roles offer. If you want technical IFRS work with visibility, this is the seat.

You will contribute actively to the preparation, analysis and release of the Group consolidated financial statements and related reporting in line with IFRS, our internal control requirements and the Group monthly financial calendar. You will also support the team on work that serves other departments across the Group.

• Prepare, maintain and execute the reconciliation of consolidated ledger accounts and financial statements: monthly consolidated balance sheet, profit and loss, cash flow and equity statements, capital expenditure schedules, intercompany schedules and related deliverables
• Preparation and execution of consolidation adjustments and intercompany calculations according to the Group’s Transfer Pricing policies
• Reconciliation of the Group Net Financial Position on a monthly basis and accounting of key personnel long-term incentive plans 
• Run periodical reviews of the reporting packages prepared by local finance managers in Tagetik
• Support the preparation of the Impairment Test (IAS 36)
• Prepare and update the interim and annual disclosures
• Draft accounting memoranda on IFRS technical topics and on new or non-recurring transactions
• Prepare slides and supporting materials on Group results for management and for internal and external presentations
• Support the preparation of forecast figures and financial modelling on request both at Group and local level.
• Develop, test, deploy and maintain consolidated reports in Tagetik
• Design and maintain internal controls over financial reporting processes, ensuring control activities in your area of responsibility are fully executed, documented, and formalised 
• Build and maintain documented procedures that keep systems, processes and controls running efficiently and financial reporting accurate, including reporting guidelines for Group subsidiaries and maintaining of the Group Chart of Accounts
• Support the implementation and set-up of consolidation procedures and the intercompany set-up
• Manage the relationship with external auditors and consultants on ordinary requests under the supervision of the Head of Consolidation & Statutory Reporting
• Act as a reference point for local finance teams and other Group functions on consolidation and reporting matters
• Support the local accounting teams on statutory topics, in line with Group reporting requirements
• Liaise with the Tax and the Corporate Planning & Reporting teams on specific projects

• Job Title: Consolidation & Statutory Reporting Specialist
• Working model : Hybrid from Chiasso or full-remote from Romania or Spain
• Team: Consolidation & Statutory Reporting team within the Finance department.
• Location: Chiasso (CH), Romania or Spain

How you will work here

• Technical skill gets you into the role. What makes it work day to day is how you organise yourself and how you work with the rest of the team.
• Proactive and well organised. You plan your own work around the close calendar, flag issues early and come with a proposed answer rather than only the problem
• Genuinely motivated by the work. The team rewards people who care about getting the numbers right and want to keep building their technical depth
• A team player. In a small team, everyone covers for everyone. You are happy to pick up what needs doing and to contribute to the results of the team rather than only your own scope
• A clear communicator. You can give concise, unambiguous guidance and instructions to subsidiaries, Group functions and other departments, in writing and in person
• Comfortable across cultures and levels. You build effective working relationships with people at every level of the organisation and with external stakeholders
• Reliable when it gets busy. You are adaptable and composed under pressure in a fast-moving environment, maintaining flexibility around working practices, priorities, and availability to meet tight deadlines during seasonal and reporting peaks.
