Nottingham, United Kingdom Capital One Full time
Nottingham Trent House (95002), United Kingdom, Nottingham, NottinghamshireSenior Financial Accountant

About this role

We’re excited to have a new opportunity in our Finance team for a fully qualified Senior Accounting Associate. This newly created role, reporting directly to the Head of Accounting and Reporting, is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic, curious and self-motivated individual who is looking to take the next step in furthering their Finance career. 

Not your typical team of month end accountants, the UK Accounting team report directly to our US business, partner closely with business teams within the UK and play a pivotal role in supporting the UK Board of Directors. This role has an opportunity to be shaped by the individual, with a focus on developing and delivering our regulatory and statutory reporting, evolving our risk management initiatives and working with stakeholders to drive forward key initiatives. 

The UK Accounting team is entering a period of expansion and exciting change and this is a rare opportunity to be part of the journey. We’re looking for someone who is technically competent, team orientated and with a restless energy to help move our business forward. In return you’ll be given a wealth of opportunities and support to develop and regular exposure to senior leadership both in the UK and US.

What you’ll be doing

Developing insightful internal reporting under IFRS and bringing an analytical eye to the quarterly reports

Ownership of regulatory and statutory reporting under IFRS, including production of annual accounts and supporting the external audit

Drive the risk management agenda across the team, ensuring risks and controls are fully understood, documented and tested

Articulating technical accounting concepts to support and advise Finance and non-Finance partners on business and enterprise wide initiatives 

Challenging existing processes, continually searching for efficiencies and driving automation opportunities

What we’re looking for 

Qualified Accountant (ACCA, ACA or CIMA) with strong technical accounting knowledge and risk management mindset

Experience working in a Finance or Audit team. Financial services experience preferred but not essential

Strong reporting and analytical skills with a high attention to detail and focus on meeting stakeholder needs

Ability to work autonomously and manage multiple tasks and initiatives, as well as playing an active and supportive role in the UK Accounting team

Ability to take ownership of the role and set the context from the outset 

Drive to progress a career in Accounting and Finance

We are committed to creating a level playing field and seek to create teams that are representative of our customers and the communities we serve. We’d love to hear from you if you identify with a typically under-represented group in our industry and are particularly keen to hear from women, the LGBTQ+ community and ethnic minority candidates.

Where and how you'll work

This is a permanent position based in our Nottingham offices.

We have a hybrid working model which gives you flexibility to work from our offices and from home. 

We’re big on collaboration and connection, so you’ll be based in our Nottingham office 3 days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Many of our associates have flexible working arrangements, and we're open to talking about an arrangement that works for you.

What’s in it for you

Bring us all this - and you’ll be well rewarded with a role contributing to the roadmap of an organisation committed to transformation

We offer high performers strong and diverse career progression, investing heavily in developing great people through our Capital One University training programmes (and appropriate external providers)

Immediate access to our core benefits including pension scheme, bonus, generous holiday entitlement and private medical insurance – with flexible benefits available including season-ticket loans, cycle to work scheme and enhanced parental leave

Open-plan workspaces and accessible facilities designed to inspire and support you. Our Nottingham head-office has a fully-serviced gym, subsidised restaurant, mindfulness and music rooms. In London, you can heighten your mood with a run on our rooftop running track or an espresso at the Workshop Coffee café

What you should know about how we recruit

We pride ourselves on hiring the best people, not the same people. Building diverse and inclusive teams is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do. We want to work with top talent: whoever you are, whatever you look like, wherever you come from. We know it’s about what you do, not just what you say. That’s why we make our recruitment process fair and accessible. And we offer benefits that attract people at all ages and stages.

We also partner with organisations including the Women in Finance and Race At Work Charters, Stonewall and upReach to find people from every walk of life and help them thrive with us. We have a whole host of internal networks and support groups you could be involved in, to name a few:

REACH – Race Equality and Culture Heritage group focuses on representation, retention and engagement for associates from minority ethnic groups and allies

OutFront – to provide LGBTQ+ support for all associates

Mind Your Mind – signposting support and promoting positive mental wellbeing for all

Women in Tech – promoting an inclusive environment in tech

EmpowHER - network of female associates and allies focusing on developing future leaders, particularly for female talent in our industry
