• Attend weekly WIP (Work In Progress) meetings and reconcile financial data with invoicing and revenue recognition.

• Confident in using data and financial insights to support strategic decisions and drive business performance.
• Comfortable working closely with senior leadership and cross-functional teams.
• A clear communicator who can explain financial concepts to non-financial stakeholders.
• Open to continuous learning and upskilling in new tools and industry best practices.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

You’ll be coming into an established but independent agency. We do great work for our clients. We believe in Digital For Good, we are a B Corp and we’re keen to make this a great place for our people to develop and grow their careers.

We work with a mix of clients, with large blue chip national and international clients being a core of the work we do. This demands high standards but also allows our people to work with the best talent in the industry.

You’ll have a chance to make a real impact on the business from day one. While we provide support from a senior team of managers, we also encourage individuals to take the lead, to show initiative and to find better ways to get stuff done. It’s very much a meritocracy.

• Monthly Wellbeing Allowance – A dedicated monthly budget to support your mental, physical, or emotional wellness—whether it’s fitness, mindfulness apps, healthy snacks, or something just for you.
• Birthday Day Off & Year-End Break – Celebrate your special day with a paid day off just for you, plus enjoy a full agency shutdown between Christmas and New Year—no emails, no meetings, just rest.
• Holiday That Grows With You – Start with a generous holiday allowance, with additional days awarded based on your length of service.
• Career Mapping & Development – A personalised career development plan with regular check-ins, training opportunities to help you reach your professional goals
• Enhanced Parental Leave Packages – Inclusive and supportive policies for all parents, offering additional time and flexibility when you need it most.
• Mental & Physical Wellbeing Support – Access resources, workshops, and guidance to keep you healthy, happy, and supported at work and beyond.
• ‘Above & Beyond’ Performance Awards – We love to celebrate great work. Recognise and be recognised with regular performance-based awards and shout-outs.
• Truly Flexible Working – Shape your work hours and environment to fit your life. We trust you to deliver—whether that’s remotely, in the office, or somewhere in between. (We’re flexible, but we’re a team too—so sometimes flexibility flows both ways.)
• Regular Team Socials – From casual after-work drinks to creative off-sites and seasonal parties—we make time to connect and have fun.
• And That’s Just the Start – We’re always evolving our benefits and culture based on what matters most to our team.

We welcome applications from candidates seeking either full-time or part-time hours, and are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements.
