Senior Financial Accountant - Life Scientific
Join us as a Senior Financial Accountant in our Dublin office (Hybrid). At Life Scientific we’re reshaping the crop protection industry and looking for a driven finance professional to support our dynamic team.
About Life Scientific
We’re backed by InVivo, Europe’s largest agricultural co‑operative, and we strive to become the world’s most successful crop protection innovator. We combine speed, collaboration, and strategic finance to deliver real‑time decision making and reduce silos across R&D, Supply Chain, and Finance.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Lead preparation of monthly and quarterly management reporting packs, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and insight.
* Take ownership of general ledger integrity (accruals, deferrals, intercompany, reclasses) and ensure best practice controls are in place.
* Support and challenge budget holders with insightful analysis to aid decision‑making.
* Lead statutory audit preparation, liaising with external auditors and ensuring compliance with accounting standards.
* Oversee tax compliance (VAT, Intrastat, and related filings).
* Drive process improvements and automation initiatives within Finance to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
* Act as a mentor and support to junior finance colleagues.
* Collaborate across Supply Chain, R&D, and Commercial teams to ensure Finance is fully embedded in business decisions.
What You Bring
* Fully qualified accountant (ACCA/ACA or equivalent).
* 4–6+ years’ post‑qualification experience in financial accounting, ideally with exposure to both practice and industry.
* Strong technical knowledge of accounting standards (IFRS/FRS 102).
* Proven ability to deliver accurate financial information in a fast‑paced environment.
* Excellent communication skills, with confidence presenting financial insights to non‑finance stakeholders.
* A self‑starter mindset with the drive to take initiative, solve problems, and deliver results.
* An interest in developing breadth beyond core accounting, with curiosity and adaptability to support wider finance priorities as needed.
* Familiarity with ERP systems (SAP B1 is a plus) and reporting tools (e.g., DataRails, Power BI).
Location
Based in our Dublin office with hybrid flexibility and a supportive, people‑first culture.
Why Join Us?
Because you want to make a difference. Because you want to work in a business where Finance is a strategic partner, not just a back‑office function. And because doing things differently is more exciting than doing them the usual way.
