Company Description

Carson Investments is looking for an in house Group Accountant. You will own end to end accounting across our Polish/Dutch holding company and underlying Polish/US funds/entities ( 8), as well as Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries where we are a majority shareholder. You'll lead quarterly stock exchange reporting and annual financial statements, coordinate audits, and implement Zoho Books-using AI (ChatGPT) to accelerate high quality work.

The role focuses on managing group accounting, consolidation, audits, and process improvements across multiple entities and currencies, leveraging Zoho Books and AI-assisted workflows.

• Own the monthly close for all entities: journals, accruals, prepayments, fixed assets, intercompany, and multi currency consolidation.
• Quarterly stock exchange reporting: prepare reporting packs, MD&A style commentary, and disclosures for timely submission; coordinate review/approval workflows.
• Annual financial statements: prepare balance sheet, P&L, cash flow, notes, and consolidation workings; manage year end close and audit support.
• Consolidation (once a year): perform group consolidations (multi entity, PL/CA/US), eliminations, NCI, and related party disclosures under IFRS; reconcile to statutory ledgers.
• Audit liaison: be the primary point of contact for external auditors; maintain PBC lists, evidence, and issue logs until sign off.
• Policies & controls: draft and maintain accounting policies, close checklists, and internal controls; document processes with AI assisted SOPs.
• Zoho Books rollout: design chart of accounts, tax codes, approval flows, and integrations (banks, expenses, billing); train internal users and migrate data.
• Tax & compliance coordination: coordinate local providers for VAT/GST, corporate income tax, payroll, and statutory filings; maintain calendars and ensure on time submissions.
• Cash, AR/AP & treasury hygiene: oversee reconciliations, aging reviews, payment runs, and liquidity reporting; standardize support schedules.
• Management reporting: deliver monthly packs with variance analysis, KPIs, and executive summaries suitable for Board and investor communications.

• Professional credential: ACCA (preferred) or equivalent (CPA, CA, CMA).
• Standards knowledge: Solid IFRS; awareness of U.S. GAAP. Polish GAAP familiarity is a plus.
• Public company cadence: Experience preparing or coordinating quarterly/annual reports for a listed company (or equivalent rigor in private groups).
• Systems: Hands on with Zoho Books (or similar cloud GLs) and advanced Excel/Google Sheets.
• AI first workflows: Comfortable using ChatGPT as main tool to draft policies, reconciliations, audit responses, and variance narratives-with strong human QA.
• Languages: English-full professional proficiency (C1/C2) is required. Polish is a plus.
• Experience: 3+ years in group accounting/consolidation across multiple entities and currencies.

• Exposure to share based payments, warrants/options (IFRS 2) and financial instruments (IFRS 9).
• Prior work with listing/filing processes and cooperation with auditors.
• Experience in holding companies, fintech, or investment groups.

• Day 60: First consolidated monthly close from Zoho Books; draft accounting policy manual; audit readiness tracker.
• Day 90: On time quarter close with exchange ready reporting pack and Board quality management report; documented SOPs for repeatable closes.

Zoho Books (core), Google Workspace, Excel/Sheets (Power Query where useful), bank feeds/AP tools, and ChatGPT for documentation, checks, and analytics.
