Job description

SENIOR GROUP FINANCIAL ACCOUNTANT

REMOTE (WITH TRAVEL TO LONDON ONCE PER MONTH)

£55,000 TO £65,000 + BONUS (UP TO 8%)

THE COMPANY:

We are partnering exclusively with a fast-growing, investor-backed SME that has more than tripled recurring revenue in the last 12 months from £7m to £22m, and is on track to reach £50m ARR within the next year.

The business operates a remote-first culture but requires circa one day per month in London, so candidates must be within reasonable commuting distance.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded, qualified accountant to join a dynamic SME and build out the finance function over time.

THE GROUP FINANCIAL ACCOUNTANT ROLE:

As Group Financial Accountant, you'll be reporting to the Financial Controller and working closely with the CFO, you will take ownership of financial reporting, statutory compliance and controls across a group structure. You will also lead the build-out of the transactional finance function within the next 3 to 6 months.

  • Own the month-end close process, delivering timely management accounts and commentary
  • Prepare monthly P&L, balance sheet reconciliations and supporting schedules
  • Maintain a monthly accounting calendar, ensuring deadlines for reconciliations, journals and reporting are met
  • Produce annual statutory accounts in line with UK GAAP (FRS 102)
  • Manage the year-end audit process and liaise with external auditors
  • Prepare and submit VAT returns, with a strong understanding of different VAT treatments
  • Support compliance with CTax and other statutory filings
  • Maintain short- and long-term cashflow forecasts and assist with working capital management
  • Work with operations teams to ensure accurate stock and inventory accounting
  • Review work of outsourced bookkeeping and payroll providers
  • Act as the key finance contact for VAT, payroll and pension compliance queries
  • Drive process improvements and system optimisation
  • Optimise and maintain the Xero accounting system as the business grows
  • Hire and mentor an Assistant to bring transactional finance in-house

THE PERSON:

  • Must be fully qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA
  • 3 to 5 years post-qualification experience in a fast-scaling SME Commercial business environment, within a Group Financial Accountant or Management Accountant role or similar.
  • Experience in engineering, manufacturing, retail or similar commercial sectors preferred
  • Hands-on experience preparing management accounts, reconciliations and statutory accounts
  • Group accounting experience is essential
  • Strong knowledge of UK GAAP (FRS 102) and VAT treatments
  • Exposure to IFRS is an advantage but not essential
  • Experience in a scaling SME is highly desirable
  • Comfortable working remotely with minimal supervision
  • Proactive and self-motivated with strong ownership mindset
  • Experience in engineering, manufacturing, retail or similar commercial sectors preferred
  • Confident user of Xero with an interest in process and system improvements
