You'll work alongside the wider finance team, with plenty of exposure to different entities and stakeholders. Day to day, this will include:

Managing core day-to-day bookkeeping, accounts payable, and bank reconciliations to keep our financial operations running smoothly.

Taking ownership of areas of month-end management reporting—preparing workbooks, posting journals, and collaborating with the finance team to deliver results at pace.

Preparing and reviewing balance sheet and intercompany reconciliations, investigating reconciling items, and ensuring differences are resolved cleanly.

Supporting the preparation of year-end financial statements and providing fast, accurate information to make the audit process seamless.

Stepping into ad-hoc projects and new challenges—particularly where processes aren't fully established yet—and building workable solutions.

You’re a part-qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with some hands-on management accounting experience.

You thrive in a fast-paced environment, comfortably managing multiple priorities with strong organisational skills to meet strict month-end and reporting deadlines.

You have an exceptional eye for detail and take pride in delivering accurate reconciliations and journals.

You are a clear, collaborative communicator who builds strong working relationships across diverse teams and stakeholders.

You have the confidence to challenge existing ways of working, identify inefficiencies, and propose practical improvements to systems and processes.

You possess advanced Excel skills, and previous experience with NetSuite is a distinct advantage (but not essential).
