Your Role
Title : Finance Manager
Salary : £50k - £55k
Your Mission
Step into the driving seat of delivering finance at a small, growing accountancy and advisory firm, specialising in tech startups. You’ll be at the forefront, managing the financial health of multiple seed-stage companies, helping them on their journey to Series A. If you’re passionate about startups, tech, and innovation, this is your chance to make a genuine impact on ambitious, growing UK businesses.
What You'll Be Doing:
Managing the financial health of our startup clientele:
- Lead Financial Operations : Oversee day-to-day financial activities for a portfolio of seed startups.
- Produce and Review : Create monthly management accounts and provide insights into business performance.
- Payroll & Pensions : Supervise monthly payroll and pension processes with precision.
- Bookkeeping & VAT : Work alongside our resident bookkeeper to tackle tricky bookkeeping challenges, oversee record keeping and review VAT Returns.
- Year-End Compliance : Produce year-end accounts and corporation tax returns for our startup clientele.
Supporting our startups as they grow from Seed to Series A:
- Startup Compliance : Handle EIS/SEIS compliance and EMI valuations.
- Financial Modelling : Assist seed startups in raising investments by building robust financial models and data rooms.
- Cash Flow Forecasting : Develop short-term cash flow forecasts to keep startups on track.
Helping us become one of the most innovative startup accountants on the market:
- Innovate and Improve : Help us identify and integrate the latest tech and AI to streamline workflows.
- Team Leadership : Support our in-house bookkeeper and help to foster a proactive and friendly team culture.
What You’ll Need:
- Hands-On Experience : 4-7 years' experience in UK accountancy, with hands-on experience in UK-based seed level startups or SMEs. You should be comfortable with FRS 102 1A standards. We value practical work experience over qualifying at a top ten accountancy practice - so if that’s you, you’re just the right fit for us.
- Optional: Qualified Accountant : ACA, ACCA, or AAT Licensed Accountant (Level 4 required)
- Tax Proficiency : You’re familiar with corporation tax, VAT, and PAYE, and know when to call in specialists for complex issues.
- Relationship Building : Building strong relationships comes naturally to you. You’re personable, approachable, and know how to communicate in a simple, clear and effective way internally and externally.
- Attention to Detail : You notice the little things that others might miss, and you’re happy checking through work for errors.
- Data Savvy : Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills, with a knack for spotting errors in financial models.
- Tech Enthusiast : Basic experience with low-code/no-code tools and a keen interest in AI.
- Brilliant English : Exceptional written and spoken English skills. You’ll need to be able to interpret and articulate complex ideas with clarity—especially when others can’t. Native or near-native speaker level-English needed.
Why This Role Is for You:
- Hybrid Flexibility : You’ll start with more in-office days to get settled, then transition to a balanced hybrid model—2-3 days in the office, the remainder wherever you work best.
- Startup Vibe : No suits required. Jeans and a t-shirt? Perfect. We’re all about getting the job done, not dressing to impress.
- Growth Opportunities : Manage more clients and team members as the firm grows.
- Innovation Lover : If you’re passionate about startups, innovation, and the latest in tech, you’ll feel right at home here.
- Long-Term Vision : We’re looking for someone who’s in it for the long haul, with ambitions to grow and stay with us for at least 2 years.
Our Story:
Founded out of frustration with how poorly traditional accountants served small businesses, we’ve built this firm from the ground up to be different. We’re not just accountants; we’re financial partners, helping seed-level startups grow into successful series A companies. We handle everything from daily financial tasks to strategic financial direction and business advisory, making sure our clients can focus on what they do best: innovate.
This isn’t just a finance role—it’s your chance to be at the heart of something bigger, helping startups grow and thrive. We’re getting our founding team together to take this business forward and you’ll play a key role in powering this growth. Ready to join us? Let’s talk.
