Accountant Intercompany
1 Elmwood, Crockford Lane, Chineham Park
Basingstoke, RG24 8WG
United Kingdom
A job with Merlin isn't like a job anywhere else. With attractions around the world, from rollercoasters to wax figures, we don't trade in suits, handshakes or briefcases. We trade in fun. In smiles, shrieks and spine-tingles. In Memories. In magic. But there are no tricks behind our magic. Instead, there are people like you. Passionate, dedicated people who are committed to making sure our worldwide attractions and guests' experiences are the best they can be.
We are looking for an Accountant Intercompany to join our Finance team. This role will be based at our The Merlin Hub - Basingstoke office, reporting into the Finance Manager on a permanent basis.
About the Role...
As a member of our team, you will be responsible for the timely and accurate processing of financial control, accounting, and reporting activities in accordance with company policy, performance, and quality standards. You will work closely with all departments and key stakeholders to support the financial reporting process, building and maintaining strong relationships to ensure a seamless flow of information and collaboration. You will drive best practices, process efficiencies, and standardization through continuous improvement using Visual Management methodology and tools, and your expertise will be essential in recommending potential operational efficiencies and improvements to working practices and procedures.
You will take ownership of balance sheet accounts and reviews with Finance managers, ensuring all key tasks are completed to scheduled timelines and in line with accounting policies. Your attention to detail and commitment to accuracy will help maintain all financial controls and systems within your role. At Merlin Entertainments, we are committed to building a culture of excellence, and you will play a critical role in helping us achieve our goals. You will have the opportunity to work with a dynamic and innovative team, driving change and delivering results that have a direct impact on the company's success.
About You...
We're growing fast and alongside a fun and friendly environment, we offer a fabulous package and amazing prospects - ideal if you're already fantastic and can quickly become even better (our magic can help here). Benefits include Pension, Life Assurance, discretionary company bonus, 25 days' holiday and, of course, a Merlin Magic Pass which gives you and your friends and family free admission to all of our attractions worldwide, as well as 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants and 40% discount on LEGO.
Everyone Matters at Merlin.
At Merlin we welcome the world to our magical attractions and resorts every day and we want to reflect that same multicultural mix inside our business too. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where people can be themselves, have the same opportunities and thrive together. Because at Merlin, everyone matters!
Together, we work to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, no matter their age, race, gender, disability or sexual orientation. Although we understand that we'll always be learning and growing, we aim to be the most inclusive and flexible employer in our industry.
Returning to work
As part of our approach, we welcome applications from people looking to return to work after a long career break.
We have an active Return to Work programme, which offers training, mentoring and more, to support with the transition back into working life. So, if you've been on a career break for any reason we can support you.
If you have any questions or if you require any adjustments due to disability or a medical condition, we'd love to hear from you at Recruitment@Merlinentertainments.biz and one of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
