Job description

We're hiring a hands‑on Finance Manager to own day-to-day finance across a growing, multi-entity proptech group. You'll run the core finance engine which includes payroll, payments, reconciliations, month-end and statutory compliance. You'll be tasked with improving it with automation so it can scale without extra headcount.

This is a broad role with real ownership. One day you might be closing out an audit, the next you're redesigning how customer refunds are paid or building a reconciliation that saves the team hours every week. The group spans UK and overseas entities, including subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Philippines and Dubai, and some products are FCA-regulated. You'll work closely with sales, support, property management and our external accountants and auditors.

Key responsibilities:

Statutory accounts, audit and group reporting

• Prepare trial balances and management accounts for each entity, including overseas subsidiaries, and support group consolidation under FRS 102.
• Handle intercompany balances, FX translation and acquisition accounting for new or restructured entities.
• Own the audit process: prepare PBC lists, answer auditor queries and manage the group and subsidiary audits from start to finish.
• Track Companies House filing deadlines, audit exemptions and accounting reference date changes so no entity falls overdue.
• Assist in the preparation of VAT returns, R&D tax credit claims and other statutoring filings such as PSA and P11D.

Payroll and Benefits

• Oversee monthly payroll and payslip queries with our external accountants
• Calculation and oversight of variable commission to the sales team
• Manage share scheme compliance, including EMI notifications and annual returns.
• Run employee expenses through Xero Expenses and keep the VAT treatment correct so input VAT is reclaimed.

Payments, cash and reconciliations

• Run weekly payment runs, including customer refunds and supplier payments
• Reconcile bank, Stripe and CRM data; resolve unmatched receipts
• Raise invoices to developers and customers, track and pay corresponding invoices to partners and agents.
• Oversee landlord rent collection and payouts for our L&M arm, including statements and discrepancy resolution.
• Manage credit control, including uncollectible invoices and failed subscription payments.

Revenue and commercial controls

• Reconcile deal revenue, agent fees and customer incentives in HubSpot against finance records.
• Own subscription billing policy in Stripe, including the approval process for discounts and fee waivers.
• Run spend analysis across vendors and flag cost trends

Systems, process and special projects

• Automate and document manual finance workflows (Slack, Google Sheets, Zapier, Count)
• Write and maintain finance guidance for the wider team, such as expenses and subscription policies.

Financial Tool You'll Use:

• Xero
• Joiin
• Stripe
• HubSpot
• Count.io
• Google Sheets,
• Notion, and automation tools such as Zapier.

About You

• CA, ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified (or qualified by experience), with 3+ years in finance, ideally including time in practice.
• Solid UK GAAP (FRS 102) knowledge, including consolidation and intercompany.
• Strong Excel skills: building clean, formula-driven reconciliations and models others can follow.
• Confident working with large datasets from multiple sources (bank exports, Stripe, CRM): cleaning and joining them, spotting patterns and anomalies, and turning them into clear insights.
• Clear, concise communication with non-finance colleagues, and comfort working in a fast-moving startup.
• A process-improvement mindset. you question how things are done, document what you build, and use AI and automation to make finance work faster and more accurate.

Why Join Us?

• Real scope - you'll sit close to leadership, your work directly supports the company's growth

• Close collaboration with Sales, Operations, People and our product teams
