Job description

Dear new Finance Manager,

It’s funny to think you’re reading this, even though we haven’t actually met yet. But, given that you’re the Finance Manager who’s going to take our amazing business to the next level, we just wanted to say hi. Tomi, our Financial Controller, is especially excited to meet you — first because he’s great and a pleasure to work with, but secondly because he knows just how fascinating this time is for Buyapowa as we enter our biggest period of worldwide growth.

So, welcome to Buyapowa, new Finance Manager. We can’t wait for you to start.

THIS IS WHAT MAKES BUYAPOWA BUYAPOWA

Traditional marketing is dead. That’s why we’re building what comes next — a whole new channel to attract and acquire customers that reflects the way people discover, fall in love, and shop with today’s leading brands.

We’re thrilled that more and more clients, including T-Mobile Metro, Vodafone, British Gas Vitality, Engie, and L’Oréal, are joining Buyapowa on this adventure every day. When we started over 10 years ago, we had no idea we’d become the global leader in our field. While we have big plans for the future, we’re equally excited about the unknown as we are about our storied past.

We love new people, new ideas, skills, perspectives, problems, and solutions. That’s why we’re not going to define a strict candidate profile — if we knew exactly what we wanted, we wouldn’t need you. So, come show us what we’re missing.

Here are some things we believe are obvious, but worth stating:

1. No one wants to commute into an office anymore. While we have offices worldwide and enjoy face-to-face meetings, we’re fully committed to the virtual workspace, allowing our team to work from anywhere.
2. No one is truly experienced until they’ve worked at Buyapowa. We value experience, but we believe the greatest experience is gained on the job with us.
3. Talent isn’t limited by age. We love fresh ideas and also appreciate the experience of those in their 50s and 60s.
4. Young prodigies like Mozart started early — if you’re just beginning your career, that’s fantastic too.
5. People often change careers multiple times. Whether this is your first or your fifth, we want talented individuals like you.
6. We celebrate diversity in all forms and will love you for who you are, what you believe, and who you love.

That’s us. We’re building the future with the people who will shape it. If you’re a future-builder with the skills to match, the job is yours.

THE ROLE

As a key member of Buyapowa’s Finance team, you will play a crucial role in delivering accurate and timely financial reports while ensuring the integrity of daily financial operations. Your responsibilities include managing core accounting functions such as accounts payable, receivable, payroll, and the general ledger, as well as preparing monthly management accounts with insightful analysis. You will support budgeting, forecasting, and ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory standards.

This is an exciting time to join our Finance team. As the business scales and acquires new enterprise clients, your work will directly impact our growth and operational excellence.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Ensure timely and accurate delivery of month-end and year-end financial reports.
• Manage all aspects of financial accounting, including accounts payable, receivable, payroll, and general ledger functions.
• Prepare monthly management accounts with commentary and variance analysis.
• Perform balance sheet reconciliations.
• Assist in the annual budgeting and reforecasting processes.
• Review contracts for appropriate accounting treatment.
• Ensure compliance with tax, legal, and regulatory requirements.
• Handle statutory submissions (VAT returns & CT61s).
• Maintain weekly cash flow updates.
• Support the Financial Controller on ad hoc projects and activities.

Qualifications & Experience

• Fully qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, ACA) with 2-5 years post-qualification experience.
• Degree-level education.
• Strong knowledge of UK accounting standards and tax regulations.
• Experience with financial reporting systems (e.g., QuickBooks).
• Proficiency in Excel.

Skills & Attributes

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, capable of presenting complex information clearly.
• High attention to detail with a focus on accuracy and compliance.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE US

• Learning & Development: We offer a personal learning budget for your professional growth.
• Ownership: Participate in our equity incentive plan and share in our success.
• Wellbeing: We care about your health and offer various initiatives.
• Work/Life Balance: We promote regular breaks and flexible working.
