This position offers opportunities to make a positive impact in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Note:
This role is based in the UK, but we’re looking for someone who is open to a later working schedule to overlap with Eastern Time (US) hours. This role partners closely with our US team, and some overlap with Eastern Time is important for effective collaboration. The schedule doesn’t have to follow Eastern Time rigidly, but flexibility to work a later day is essential.

Prepare and review financial results, including balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and cash flow statements.
Reconcile general ledger accounts, resolving discrepancies and ensuring data integrity.
Provide financial analysis and variance support to management, offering actionable insights for decision-making.
Drive process improvements to enhance efficiency and accuracy within the finance department.
Collaborate with internal teams to prepare for audits and ensure compliance with accounting standards and regulatory requirements.
Thrive in ambiguous situations, making informed decisions with limited information, adapting to changing priorities, and driving progress despite uncertainty

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
Minimum of 5 years of accounting experience, with at least 3 years in a senior accounting role.
Advanced proficiency in Excel and data analysis.
Strong knowledge of general ledger functions and month-end/year-end close processes.
Highly detail-oriented, with a passion for accuracy and process optimization.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking abilities.
Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally across departments.
Experience with ERP systems (Net Suite or similar) is a plus.
CPA certification is a plus, with preference given to candidates who hold or are actively pursuing this credential

The salary range for this role is £55,000 to £65,00 per year. Pay is based on several factors including but not limited to education, work experience, certifications, internal equity, etc.
