A genuinely unique mix of scale, pace, creativity and exposure. You'll be right at the heart of a PE-backed, people-centric, high-growth business with a brilliant boss, an incredible culture and the kind of variety that makes every day different.

    : constantly evolving, exciting, with genuine career-accelerating experience.
  • Amazing culture
    : collaborative, people-first, fun, and creative sector.
  • Brilliant boss
    : someone who will back you, stretch you, and let you get on with it.
  • Flexibility
    : 1–2 days in stunning Central London offices, the rest from wherever works best.

What you'll be doing

  • Leading group financial control across multiple entities.
  • Preparing and delivering consolidated group and subsidiary statutory accounts.
  • Driving month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations and intercompany reconciliations.
  • Managing the external audit process and liaising with auditors and advisors.

  • Driving standardisation, automation and scalable processes across finance.
  • Leading, coaching and developing a small, capable team.
  • Supporting ad hoc projects including insurance, risk reviews and finance transformation.

What you'll need

  • ACA qualified (Top 10 firm trained ideally) with strong post-qualification experience.
  • Technical strength in accounting, tax and treasury.
  • Experience in a fast-paced, international, multi-currency environment.
  • Strong leader with the ability to influence and inspire.
  • Commercially minded, detail-oriented, and comfortable with ambiguity.
  • PE or VC-backed business experience is a bonus.

What's on offer

  • £90k–£100k base salary + bonus + benefits.
  • Generous holiday and wellbeing perks.
  • Private healthcare, pension, life assurance and more.
  • A genuinely brilliant culture where people love what they do.
