They require intentional focus on bringing together a broad set of backgrounds, cultures, experiences, perspectives, and skills in a supportive and inclusive work environment. We hire people with exceptional talent and create an environment in which every individual can thrive professionally and personally.

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

You’ll join our EMEA Finance team at our Global Business Services (GBS) hub in Warsaw, a center of expertise and collaboration. As part of a dedicated four-person GBS team, you’ll work closely with senior colleagues, including Finance Managers and Directors in our London office and potentially other Bain offices across the EMEA region.

Working across a diverse range of markets, you’ll support core accounting processes and help ensure the accuracy and integrity of our financial reporting.

WHERE YOU’LL FIT WITHIN THE TEAM

As a Junior General Accountant (internally called Coordinator, General Accounting), you’ll report directly to the EMEA Finance Manager and work closely with senior colleagues who will support you in your day-to-day responsibilities.

You’ll have independent ownership of your assigned markets while benefiting from the support of the wider team. You’ll play an important role in General Ledger activities across London and other EMEA markets, helping ensure accurate, complete, and timely financial reporting while collaborating with stakeholders across the region.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Manage bank reconciliations, including downloading and posting bank statements, clearing accounts, and ensuring accurate reporting.


• Prepare and post journal entries, including accruals, leases, VAT adjustments, staff recovery deductions, employee receivables, prepayment amortization, cost reallocations to other Bain offices, and correction journals.


• Perform monthly reconciliations of cash and other balance sheet accounts.


• Assist with audit activities, fixed asset reviews, and asset disposals.


• Support in-month account analysis and contribute to quarterly and annual statutory reporting, including tax and employee-related reporting requirements.


• Assist with ad hoc finance requests, analysis, and reporting as required.

ABOUT YOU

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.


• 2–3 years of accounting experience, including at least 1 year of General Ledger experience.


• Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial processes.


• Proficiency in accounting systems; experience with SAP S/4HANA Cloud is an advantage.


• Fluent in English (C1), which is essential for effective day-to-day collaboration. Polish language skills are an advantage.


• Strong organizational skills and a high level of attention to detail and accuracy.


• You’re comfortable working independently while collaborating effectively within a team.


• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

This role follows a hybrid working model, requiring at least 2 days per week in the office.
