Sitting at the heart of the finance function this is a hands–on role where you'll own core accounting processes end–to–end – from ledger integrity and reconciliations to management reporting and compliance across multiple entities as the business expands.

• Working closely with external accountants, auditors and vendors to ensure compliance and smooth reporting cycles
• Helping optimise and improve financial systems, processes and reporting tools as the business scales, including automation where possible
• Conducting ad–hoc financial analysis to support commercial decisions and operational planning
• Owning finance–related aspects of employee onboarding and offboarding (payroll, systems access, documentation)

What We're Looking For

• Qualified Accountant(ACA, ACCA/CIMA) with a strong academic background
• Excellent experience in finance, accounting, or a management accounting role
• Strong grounding in accounting fundamentals – comfortable reconciling ledgers, reviewing balance sheets and preparing management accounts
• Highly detail–oriented, with the discipline to manage high–volume transactional work accurately
• Confident working across multiple entities and reconciling complex accounts
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets capability, with hands–on experience using Xero in a multi–entity environment
• Comfortable in a fast–paced, scaling environment where processes are evolving
• High ownership mindset – you don't just process numbers, you ensure they're right
• Experience with regulated environments is a bonus but not essential

If you have strong hands–on transactional finance experience and are ready to take real ownership in a fast–scaling business, apply today.
