Job description

Senior Financial Accountant | London - hybrid (2+ days in office per week) | Competitive Salary + Benefits | 9 Month Fixed-Term Contract

About the Role

We're looking for a qualified Senior Financial Accountant to join our Financial Control team on a fixed-term basis, supporting our Buyagift and Red Letter Days brands. Based in London, you'll play a key role in delivering accurate financial reporting, maintaining strong financial controls, and providing valuable insight that helps drive business decisions.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a proactive accountant who enjoys combining financial and management accounting, partnering with stakeholders across the business, and continuously improving processes in a fast-paced environment. You'll take ownership of key areas of the financial statements, support the month-end close, and help ensure the business has the financial information it needs to make informed decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Own key areas of the profit and loss account and balance sheet, ensuring accurate and timely reporting.
• Produce insightful management reporting that supports business performance and decision-making.
• Partner with FP&A and stakeholders across the wider business to understand financial performance and support budgeting activities.
• Maintain a robust financial control environment, identifying risks and contributing to successful audits.
• Take ownership of key month-end activities, ensuring deadlines are consistently met to a high standard.
• Review, challenge and improve existing financial processes, identifying opportunities to drive efficiencies across the team and wider business.

About You

• Qualified accountant (ACA or equivalent) with at least two years' post-qualified experience and strong technical accounting knowledge.
• Proven experience across both financial and management accounting.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive, can-do approach.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to build trusted relationships across the business.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality, accurate work.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced and evolving environment.
• Experience partnering with senior stakeholders, including colleagues outside of Finance.
• Ability to work collaboratively within a small team while confidently taking ownership of individual responsibilities.
• Experience within technology, e-commerce or retail is advantageous but not essential.

Why Join Us?

At Buyagift and Red Letter Days, you'll be joining a collaborative Finance team where your work has a direct impact on business performance. You'll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, provide meaningful financial insight to support decision-making, and play an important role in driving continuous improvement across our financial processes.

If you're looking for a role where you can take ownership, influence key stakeholders and make a real impact within a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.

What's in it for you?

• Competitive Pay & Bonuses: Plus generous pension plans, staff discounts, and share schemes.
• Wellbeing First: Private healthcare (UK), dental, life insurance and mental health support
• Flexible Working & Time Off: Generous holidays, hybrid working (unless specified otherwise, 2 days a week in the office), and opportunities for international working.
• Career Growth: Learning allowances, coaching, and development programs.
• Recognition & Giving Back: Regular awards, charity support, length of service awards, and volunteering days.

Our Ways of Working

We trust our colleagues to do what's right and offer flexibility to support a balance between work and life. At the same time, face‑to‑face office time is an important and expected part of working at Moonpig Group. We believe regular in‑person working supports collaboration, alignment, and effective decision-making. Candidates will have regular and ongoing time working from the office as part of their role, which will be discussed during the recruitment process.

Interview Process

Our interview process is designed to help us get to know you while giving you the opportunity to learn more about us.

• Stage 1: Interview with the Hiring Manager and a member of the Finance team (30–45 minutes).
• Stage 2: Interview with the Head of Financial Control and a senior member of the Finance team (30–45 minutes).

One stage of the interview stages will be in person, but this will be shared during the screening call.

Our process may vary depending on role and availability. We keep candidates informed of any changes throughout the process.
