Financial Accountant

London | Hybrid | Interim day rate | September Start

We're working with a fast-growing AI technology business that is looking to appoint a Financial Accountant to join its expanding finance team.

This is an exciting opportunity for an audit-trained accountant looking to make the move from practice into industry, or for an experienced Financial Accountant looking to join a dynamic and growing technology environment.

The Role

Reporting into the Financial Controller, you'll play a key role in supporting the day-to-day financial accounting function and ensuring the business maintains robust and accurate financial reporting.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Ownership of month-end and year-end close processes
  • Preparation of management and financial reporting
  • Supporting the preparation of statutory accounts
  • Balance sheet reconciliations and financial control
  • Supporting audit processes and liaising with external auditors
  • Assisting with technical accounting matters
  • Working across multiple entities and supporting group reporting
  • Identifying opportunities to improve and automate finance processes
  • Working closely with colleagues across the wider finance and commercial teams

About You

We're particularly keen to speak with candidates who have:

  • ACA or CA qualification
  • An audit background, ideally with a Big 4 or Top 10 accountancy firm
  • Strong technical accounting and financial reporting experience
  • Experience with month-end and statutory accounts
  • Excellent attention to detail and analytical skills
  • A genuine interest in technology and working within a fast-paced, growing business
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work with stakeholders across the business

Candidates who are immediately available or available at short notice are particularly encouraged to apply.

We're also happy to speak with Youth Mobility Visa candidates currently based outside London who are looking to relocate to London for their next opportunity.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a high-growth AI technology business at an exciting stage of its development, with the chance to take ownership, develop your commercial exposure and play an important role within a growing finance function.

If you're an audit-trained accountant looking to make your first move into industry, this could be an excellent next step.
