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.

• 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.

• 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.
