Woking - Hybrid

We are recruiting for a Group Financial Reporting Manager to join our Group Finance function, playing a pivotal role in delivering high-quality financial reporting across Nomad Foods.

About the role

• Maintain strong SOX control compliance, working closely with internal and external audit.
• Support statutory reporting requirements, legal entity and capital structure projects, and acquisition integrations.
• Collaborate across Group Finance, the Shared Service Centre, and key functions including Tax and Treasury.
• Ensure accuracy of accounting entries, review journals and balance sheet reconciliations, and uphold best-practice financial controls.
• Participate in finance transformation initiatives across systems, processes, and controls.
