🎯 THE ROLE
We're hiring an Assistant Accountant to own the accounting engine of the finance team: the ledger, the month-end close, and the admin that keeps both clean. Our day-to-day transaction processing is supported by an outsourced bookkeeping partner. You'll own the quality of that work, the reconciliations behind it, and everything between a receipt landing and a number reaching the board pack.
Everything else in finance, reporting, forecasting and investor diligence depends on the ledger being right. You'll make sure it is: reviewing what goes in, reconciling what comes out, and closing the month on time. About a quarter of the role is finance admin. It means running the invoice inbox, chasing receipts and keeping supplier records clean, and it's what keeps the numbers right.
🚀 WHAT YOU'LL DO
Ledger and close
- Review and own the ledger in Xero, including our outsourced bookkeepers' work on coding, supplier bills and daily bank reconciliations across GBP, USD and EUR accounts
- Prepare month-end journals, accruals and prepayments, and the balance sheet reconciliations behind them, so we close by working day 5 with our Finance Manager
- Keep intercompany balances with our US entity reconciled
- Reconcile payroll, PAYE and pension control accounts to Rippling each month
- Prepare the UK VAT return in Xero for review
- Prepare year-end schedules and answer queries from our external accountants and auditors
Finance admin and communication
- Run the invoice inbox, logging, chasing and routing supplier invoices so nothing reaches the ledger without a document
- Chase receipts and missing context from colleagues for card spend, and keep receipt compliance high
- Maintain supplier records and support onboarding, including verifying bank details before anything is paid
- Be the first point of contact for finance questions from the wider team
👀 WHO YOU ARE
- 2 to 4 years in a finance team or accounting practice, with at least one month-end close owned end to end
- AAT qualified, or studying towards or part-qualified in ACCA, CIMA or ACA. We'll support your studies
- Confident in Xero or similar cloud accounting software, and comfortable with large data sets in Excel or Google Sheets
- Experience with multi-currency reconciliations and high transaction volumes
- Clear, friendly written communication. You'll chase people across the company and keep it pleasant
- Fintech, marketplace or payments experience is a strong plus
✨ YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF
- A fully reconciled balance sheet gives you real satisfaction
- You chase people for answers instead of waiting
- You see the admin as part of getting the numbers right, not a distraction from it
- You're comfortable in a startup where things move fast around you, even if your work is methodical
- You want to grow into a management accountant or financial controller role as the team scales
⚠️ YOU'LL STRUGGLE HERE IF
- You want to work only on the numbers and see chasing colleagues for receipts as beneath the role
- You need heavy supervision or detailed instructions for every task
- You're not comfortable working with high transaction volumes daily
