Job description

Finance & Accounting Manager (with Renewals Oversight)

Location: Wimbledon

Benefits: Hybrid working (after onboarding)

About the Role

We are seeking a Finance & Accounting Manager to take ownership of our Client's core financial operations while providing oversight on customer renewals. This is a hands‑on role for someone who understands that finance is a labour‑intensive function but is proactive in finding ways to streamline workflows without compromising consistency. You will play a critical role in safeguarding profitability, ensuring compliance, and supporting the wider business with actionable financial insights.

While the primary focus is on bookkeeping and financial control, you will also manage the renewals process — ensuring timely billing and coordination with suppliers and internal teams to maintain customer satisfaction.

Finance & Accounting (Approx. 90%)

• Maintain accurate financial records, reconcile bank accounts, and manage ledgers.
• Prepare VAT returns and ensure compliance with current tax regulations.
• Process payroll and pensions for employees.
• Produce weekly and monthly financial reports, highlighting billed work and upcoming commitments.
• Monitor projects for cost overruns and flag unprofitable work to relevant teams.
• Identify opportunities to automate and streamline finance processes.

Renewals Oversight (Approx. 10%)

• Review system reports to identify services due for renewal.
• Liaise with suppliers and internal teams to confirm renewal terms.
• Issue renewal offers to clients and ensure timely approvals.
• Instruct suppliers to renew services and coordinate accurate billing.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in bookkeeping and financial management.
• Strong knowledge of UK tax regulations, VAT, and payroll processes.
• Proficiency with accounting software and ability to leverage technology for automation.
• Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Commercial awareness with the ability to question and challenge unprofitable work.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset — finance is not an isolated function here.
• Familiarity with renewals or contract management processes is a plus.
• Ideally exposure to working for a SaaS or MSP business.
