Beyond their impressive growth, they boast an exciting portfolio of some of the most innovative scale-ups in London’s tech ecosystem. Their approach goes beyond traditional accounting—providing outsourced finance support, exceptional customer service, and expert insights into automation and financial technology to help businesses thrive.

Based in a vibrant area of Central London, the company fosters a collaborative and welcoming culture. Employees feel valued and invested in, as reflected in high retention rates and generous benefits.

Strong communication skills, the ability to manage multiple clients, and a curious, ambitious mindset are essential.

Clear pathways to progression—including to Finance Director—are available, supported by ongoing training and development.

Responsibilities

  • Manage 2 junior team members – provide coaching, collaboration, and day-to-day problem-solving

  • Create and review regular close activities and working papers, including reconciliations, returns, and journal entries
  • Review and contribute to month end processes, statutory accounts, and management commentaries, delegating tasks to juniors in the team as needed
  • Improve and document client processes, using tech to streamline workflows where possible
  • Build custom reporting tools and insights to support client decision-making
  • Manage client relationships, respond to questions, and handle a range of ongoing and one-off requests
  • Track team workload, time and resources allocated per project internally to help manage portfolio and fees charged to clients
  • Ad hoc tasks to support the Founders and Finance Directors/CFO’s

What We Need to See (Essential)

  • Strong month-end and management accounts exposure
  • Knowledge of Xero
