VAT Accountant

About the role

We are looking for a detailed, highly adaptable Accountant to join our finance team temporary (12 months). In this role, you will play a central part in ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and compliance of our end-to-end financial operations. While you will support key indirect tax compliance and reporting workflows, your primary focus will be broader financial management: managing complex ledger transactions, executing monthly reconciliations, driving period-end close processes, and ensuring seamless data integration across our global supply chain and ERP systems.

Key Responsibilities

This is a hybrid position based at our European Shared Service Centre in Cork, Ireland.

• Oversee and audit transactional data flow across multi-entity, multi-currency supply chains to ensure financial and accounting integrity.
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve ERP and invoice-processing system errors, collaborating with IT and operational teams to test and validate system enhancements.
• Lead key balance sheet and system account reconciliations as part of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close processes, including posting journal entries and monitoring intercompany transactions.
• Support key indirect tax compliance and local/cross-border VAT reporting, ensuring correct invoice structuring rules and supply-chain classification rule combinations.
• Serve as an operational point of contact for internal and external auditors during periodic financial reviews and continuously review finance workflows to maintain strict adherence to internal controls.
