From financial planning to reporting, procurement, investor relations and beyond, our team of experts plays a critical role in supporting every department and shaping the company’s success story.

As a Financial Controller, you will be responsible for strengthening the Group’s accounting, consolidation, and financial reporting capabilities, with particular focus on complex, critical, and non-routine accounting matters. The role will provide technical accounting expertise across multiple Group entities and jurisdictions and support the appropriate accounting treatment, documentation, and reporting of acquisitions, restructuring, liquidations, equity transactions, and other exceptional or complex transactions.

Help us shape the future of communications by:

  • Providing technical accounting guidance on complex and non-routine transactions in accordance with IFRS.

  • Preparing and reviewing accounting entries related to acquisitions, business combinations, restructuring, liquidations, equity transactions, intercompany transactions, and other exceptional matters.

  • Supporting acquisition accounting, including purchase price allocation (PPA), goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, deferred consideration, and post-acquisition accounting.

  • Preparing technical accounting memos and position papers supporting significant accounting judgments and treatments.
    Support Group consolidation and ensure consistent and appropriate accounting treatment across different entities and jurisdictions.

  • Reviewing complex balance sheet accounts, reconciliations, consolidation adjustments, and accounting entries.

  • Supporting accounting for equity, share-based payments, investments, financing arrangements, and changes in Group structure.

  • Working closely with external auditors on significant and judgmental accounting matters and ensure timely resolution of audit queries.

  • Supporting the preparation and review of consolidated and standalone financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
    Monitor new and amended IFRS standards and assess their accounting and reporting impact on the Group.

  • Supporting year-end audits and provide the required technical accounting documentation and analysis.

  • Supporting Finance leadership on accounting implications arising from M&A, corporate restructuring, entity establishment or closure, and other strategic transactions.

  • Strengthening accounting policies, financial controls, documentation, and reporting processes.

  • Contributing to IPO readiness, including enhancing accounting documentation, reporting quality, governance, controls, and audit readiness.

  • Partnering with Tax, Legal, Treasury, FP&A, and other functions on transactions requiring cross-functional financial assessment.
