Finance Analyst

Role Summary

We are looking for a newly qualified accountant to join our finance team. This is a broad, hands-on role that spans group accounting and financial planning & analysis. You will sit at the centre of the finance function — owning the group consolidation, supporting month-end and board reporting, and helping to build out FP&A capability as the company scales.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants exposure across the full breadth of a finance function in a high-growth technology business. 

Why join?

Breadth of role — you will not be pigeonholed into one area; this spans accounting, consolidation, FP&A, tax, and audit liaison 

Direct exposure to the CFO, board reporting, and strategic decision-making from day one 

A small, collaborative finance team where your contribution is visible and valued 

Clear progression path as the company and team continue to grow

Support the annual budget and quarterly reforecast cycles — building models, gathering inputs from budget holders, and producing commentary on variances 

Prepare board-level reporting packs and KPI dashboards 

Assist with ad hoc financial analysis and commercial decision support as required by the senior finance team 

Oversight & Team Support (c. 10%) 

Review the Accountant's work on bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, and VAT returns, providing a quality assurance layer before sign-off by the Financial Controller 

Support the Accountant's development, particularly as they progress through their professional qualification 

Ad Hoc & Projects (c. 10%) 

Opportunity to contribute to fundraising processes, including supporting financial due diligence, preparing investor reporting packs, and assisting with data room content 

Support international tax compliance workstreams and R&D tax credit claims 

Assist with share-based payment calculations (IFRS 2) and other technical accounting areas 

Contribute to systems and process improvement initiatives across the finance function 

Provide cover and support across any area of the finance team as needed 

Skills and Experience

Essential 

Newly qualified ACA or ACCA (recently qualified or up to 2 years post-qualification) 

Strong technical accounting knowledge, particularly IFRS (consolidation, revenue recognition, leases, share-based payments) 

Experience preparing group consolidations and statutory accounts 

Comfortable working with Excel at an advanced level 

Able to work independently, manage competing priorities, and meet tight reporting deadlines 

Strong attention to detail with an ability to step back and see the bigger picture

Experience with multi-entity, multi-currency group structures 

Exposure to SaaS or technology sector accounting (IFRS 15, IAS  38)
