  • Support the external audit process, acting as a key point of contact and coordinating information requests
  • Provide finance support to business initiatives, projects, and growth-related activity
  • Manage tax administration, including VAT return preparation and coordination of UK corporation tax filings with advisors
  • Review monthly financial submissions ensuring timely, accurate reporting

About You

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
  • Strong background in financial accounting, statutory reporting, and group structures
  • Experience working within complex, multi-entity UK groups
  • Comfortable overseeing consolidations and intercompany accounting
  • Strong understanding of UK VAT and corporation tax administration
  • Confident working with modern ERP systems (NetSuite desirable)
  • Detail-oriented, resilient, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment
  • Strong communicator able to work effectively with senior stakeholders and external advisors

Why Join?
