Meta is seeking a qualified accountant to join the International Statutory Controllership Team. You will bring deep technical accounting knowledge — IFRS, local GAAP, multi-entity consolidation — and combine it with a experience with or demonstrated interest in applying AI, automation, and modern process design to accounting workflows. Reporting to the EMEA Controller, you will own the financial reporting and statutory obligations for a portfolio of Meta's international entities, contribute to global controllership initiatives, and help reshape how that work gets done. The team is building more efficient, technology-supported processes, and we need someone who can keep pace, contribute ideas, and help us move from manual execution to scalable, technology-enabled delivery. You apply thorough technical analysis to your work and proactively explore new approaches to improve processes. You find satisfaction in getting the technical detail right and in finding a better way to get there. You have experience working in environments where priorities evolve, new tools are adopted regularly, and processes are continuously improved. You take ownership of your entity portfolio while contributing to global initiatives that shape the team's future. You communicate with clarity, bring a willingness to learn new tools and adapt to evolving processes, and are ready to help define what financial reporting looks like in a technology-first organisation.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end financial reporting process for your entity portfolio — coordinating statutory financial statement preparation, managing auditor relationships, and ensuring reported figures are complete, accurate, and free from material error
Engage across both entity-level local GAAP accounting and the consolidated U.S. GAAP reporting processes
Contribute to global statutory controllership initiatives — driving standards, process improvements, and scalable solutions that benefit the wider international entity portfolio
Apply technical accounting knowledge to complex, multi-jurisdictional matters, researching and resolving issues with rigour and accuracy
Identify opportunities to redesign existing reporting workflows through AI tools, automation, and intelligent process design — moving from repetitive manual effort to streamlined, exception-based processes
Design, document, and implement scalable processes and system solutions that improve accuracy, reduce cycle times, and support the team's evolving operating model
Maintain robust internal controls and audit-ready documentation; ensure all workflows meet governance, compliance, and SOX requirements
Communicate complex technical accounting matters clearly and concisely to stakeholders, auditors, and cross-functional partners
Partner with technology, data, and operations teams to co-develop and test AI solutions tailored to financial reporting needs
Support regulatory filings and ad-hoc statutory projects across the EMEA entity portfolio

Minimum Qualifications

Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent), preferably with post-qualification experience in financial reporting or technical accounting
Technical knowledge of IFRS, including experience applying standards to complex transactions in a multinational or multi-entity environment and experience applying it in a multinational or multi-entity environment
Experience using AI tools in a professional context — you already use AI assistants, prompt engineering, or automation to improve your own productivity and output quality
Experience designing or implementing accounting processes, systems, or controls — not just operating within them
Ability to communicate technical accounting matters clearly, whether in written memos, presentations, or cross-functional discussions
Diligent, detail-oriented approach with strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple entity deadlines simultaneously

Preferred Qualifications

Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
Experience with financial reporting across multiple jurisdictions (EMEA preferred)
Demonstrated ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities, new tools, and evolving ways of working in a fast-paced technology environment
Experience building or deploying AI/automation solutions in an accounting or finance context (e.g., intelligent journal preparation, automated reconciliations, AI-assisted disclosure drafting)
A track record of continuous learning — actively developing new skills, staying current with technology trends, and applying new knowledge to improve existing workflows
Understanding of AI governance principles — responsible use, risk assessment, accuracy validation, and bias awareness — as applied to financial reporting
