Job description

Our Ways of Working Principles:

We believe that most of us do our best work when we work together, but we know that everyone works in different ways, and quite frankly, has other commitments and responsibilities outside of work.

As we further adjust to hybrid working, we want to take what we've learnt from working remotely and keep the flexibility that's enabled us to thrive and keep driving our business forward.

We have some core principles which support us in this:

Do what’s right

Trust & give permission

Delivery matters

We understand ways of working can look different based on your role, team and you as an individual so we are here to support and discuss this with you during the interview process.

At Moonpig Group our purpose is to create better, more personal, connections between people that care about each other. We are an international group, comprising the Moonpig, Buyagift and Red Letter Days brands in the UK and the Greetz brand in the Netherlands.

We were founded with a goal to disrupt the traditional greetings industry. Two decades on, we’re an established leader within the online gifting market, offering a wide range of products to customers across the world.

Moonpig is an iconic brand and innovator, with clear values (read more about our valueshere!). These values set our teams and our business up for success in an environment that’s fun, supportive and challenging. They’re the glue that binds us together and we think of them as a platform to help us deliver our best work.

We’re looking for a Senior Financial Accountant to join our high performing Finance team on a 9 month Fixed Term Contract.

You’ll be stepping into a key role in our Financial Control team, supporting our Experiences Division- Buyagift and Red Letter Days – with month-end reporting and providing accurate financial data and controls to help drive better business performance.

This is a great opportunity if you’re a hands-on, qualified accountant with a mix of financial and management accounting experience, who enjoys making an impact and thrives in a fast-paced, scale-up environment.

This is an urgent requirement so you will need to be available to start in May/June (no later than 1st July)

Key Responsibilities:

• Taking ownership of key areas of the P&L and balance sheet
• Responsible for insightful management reporting and accurate financial reporting.
• Partnering with FP&A and the wider business to understand performance and assist with budgets.
• Ensuring a robust financial control environment, and being involved with key parts of our audit.
• Looking for ways to improve how we work, from small process tweaks to bigger-picture changes.

About you:

• Qualified accountant (ACA or equivalent) with ideally 2+ years PQE.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge and love getting into the detail.
• Have experience taking ownership of key areas of the P&L
• Confident using Excel and have great communication skills – able to translate finance speak into plain English.
• Have a can-do attitude and problem solving mindset
• Show strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work in a fast paced, high growth environment
