You will ideally have:

  • ACA or CA qualification, top 10 audit trained.
  • Strong technical accounting skills and experience owning month-end processes.
  • Experience improving processes and implementing efficiencies (looking for someone tech-forward and focused on automating processes with AI).
  • Exposure to regulated entities (fintech, banking, or public disclosure etc).
  • Strong knowledge of UK statutory reporting and financial controls.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships across a business.
  • The ambition and capability to step into a broader role within the business.

Visa Sponsorship & Eligibility
