SOC 2421 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £49,200, and EDF (UK) is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 1131 (Financial managers and directors, Leads reporting team and partners with senior stakeholders, could be managerial) or SOC 4122 (Book-keepers, payroll managers and wages clerks, Financial accountant index entry; role involves reporting and consolidation). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Ready to be the person who turns numbers into decisions?
At EDF, we're looking for an experienced finance professional who loves seeing the bigger picture behind the data. You'll be at the heart of our Customers Finance team, helping senior leaders understand performance, shape strategy, and make decisions that support both our business and Britain's journey to net zero.
This is a role where your expertise will be valued, your insights will be heard, and your work will influence decisions at the highest levels. Because at EDF, Success is Personal.
The Opportunity
As a Principal Financial Reporting Accountant, you'll play a key role in ensuring our financial reporting is accurate, insightful, and supports effective decision-making across the business. Working within our Financial Control & Reporting team, you'll lead the production of performance reporting, forecasting, budgeting and regulatory submissions, while partnering with senior stakeholders across Finance and the wider business.
You'll be the trusted expert helping leaders understand what the numbers are saying today, and what they could mean tomorrow. Whether you're consolidating financial results, leading planning cycles, supporting regulatory reporting, or driving improvements in reporting processes, you'll have a genuine impact on how the business operates.
You'll join us on a salary starting from £60,000 per annum, with the potential for an annual bonus. This is a hybrid role ideally based in #London, working from our Nova North office up to one day per week.
Beyond the day job, you'll gain exposure to senior leaders from the outset, work in a team that genuinely supports development, and can shape improvements across a fast-moving, evolving business. If you're looking for a role where you can make your mark rather than simply produce reports, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Who You Are
To be shortlisted, you need to offer:
- A full accounting qualification or working towards completion (ACA, ACCA or CIMA)
- Strong industry experience in financial accounting and reporting
- Experience producing and analysing Income Statements, Balance Sheets and Cash Flow Statements
- Proven experience of budgeting, forecasting and financial planning activities
- Advanced Excel skills and experience working with financial systems
- Experience presenting financial information and recommendations to senior stakeholders
- Leading monthly financial reporting and consolidation activities
- Producing performance packs and financial insights for senior leadership teams
- Managing forecasting, budgeting and planning cycles across the business
- Supporting regulatory reporting, audit requirements and corporate submissions
- Identifying and implementing improvements to reporting processes, controls and systems
Alongside a starting salary from £60,000 per annum, potential for an annual bonus, and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include customisable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days, and more.
