Job summary

tmGroup (UK) Ltd. is seeking a Financial Accountant to join the Finance team in Swindon on a hybrid basis. You will support group reporting, statutory accounts, and audit coordination, with exposure to the billing engine and VAT responsibilities.

The role is ideal for a part-qualified ACCA/ACA candidate with UK GAAP (FRS 102) expertise and an audit background. Full ACCA/ACA study support is provided, along with a clear path to broader commercial projects within a PE-backed environment.

Qualifications

• Part-qualified ACCA/ACA (or equivalent), with an audit or practice background particularly welcome.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge of UK GAAP (FRS 102); working knowledge of IFRS is an advantage.
• Experience supporting or coordinating an external audit, either in practice or in-house.
• Good understanding of financial controls, reconciliations and accounting processes.
• A naturally curious and investigative approach, with the confidence to ask questions and get to the root of an issue.
• Able to apply technical knowledge in a practical way, considering the wider business rather than simply applying a rule or following a process.
• A clear and confident communicator who is comfortable raising issues, challenging assumptions and working with people outside Finance.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, PE-backed environment and able to adapt your approach when circumstances change.

Responsibilities

• Support the Group Financial Controller with the external audit, acting as a key point of contact for auditors and managing queries through to resolution.
• Prepare supporting audit files for the annual statutory accounts, including disclosures and intercompany accounting, with clear, well-evidenced technical accounting advice under UK GAAP (FRS 102) and, where appropriate, IFRS.
• Support Group reporting, including intercompany reconciliations and the consolidation file, while building your wider commercial understanding.
• Assess new or unusual transactions and judgemental areas such as revenue recognition, accruals, deferred income and provisions - applying technical knowledge alongside sound judgement and commercial thinking.
• Keep up to date with accounting standards and identify any changes that could impact the business.
• Help strengthen our financial controls and processes, identifying weaknesses and inefficiencies and supporting improvements.
• Work with Finance, Search Production and Tech teams to investigate discrepancies and understand what's happening behind the numbers, including within our billing engine.
• Support the Group Financial Controller with VAT, statutory and external reporting, as well as finance system changes alongside the Systems Accountant.
