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

• Prepare the monthly group consolidation pack, including intercompany eliminations, foreign exchange adjustments, and consolidation journals across all FINBOURNE entities

Financial Planning & Analysis (c. 30%)

• Maintain and update the monthly management accounts and variance analysis for presentation to the CFO and board

• 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

Desirable

• Trained in audit at a Big Four or mid-tier practice

• Experience with multi-entity, multi-currency group structures

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