🎯 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
