We are seeking to recruit an experienced Accountant to strengthen financial oversight, governance, and reporting across our international subsidiaries. This role will play a central part in driving consistency, accuracy, and financial discipline throughout the Group. This is not a traditional accounting position; it is ideally suited to a commercially minded professional who is confident working across multiple entities, challenging financial information, improving controls, and elevating reporting standards within a dynamic international environment.

Key Responsibilities

Review and assess sales contracts, ensuring appropriate accounting treatment and alignment with Group policies
Determine and enforce revenue recognition in line with applicable standards
Actively request, challenge, and validate financial and operational data from subsidiaries
Ensure timely, accurate, and complete reporting across all entities
Drive consistency in processes, documentation, and controls across the Group
Identify gaps and implement improvements to strengthen the overall control environment
Debt Management Oversight
Monitor outstanding receivables across subsidiaries
Drive focus and accountability on debt collection efforts
Challenge local teams on overdue balances and ageing profiles
Propose and support solutions to improve cash flow, including factoring or other mechanisms where appropriate

Job requirements

Strong accounting background with solid understanding of financial reporting and revenue recognition
Fully qualified accountant (ACCA or a Masters degree from University of Malta) with 3–5 years of relevant experience.
Solid understanding of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and their practical application across financial reporting and compliance.
Comfortable working across multiple entities and interacting with international teams
Confident in challenging information and holding stakeholders accountable
Highly organised, with the ability to follow through and ensure deadlines are met
Proactive mindset with a focus on improving processes and controls
This role requires more than technical ability. We are looking for someone who:
Takes ownership and drives outcomes
Is not afraid to ask questions or push back when needed
Can operate with a high level of independence
Is focused on building structure, discipline, and control across the organisation
Excellent command of English is required. German language skills would be considered a plus.
