Role
Who you are
- Above all, we are looking for someone genuinely curious about how a finance function operates - someone who seeks to understand the reasoning behind their work, takes pride in accuracy, and is confident raising questions and suggesting improvements rather than simply waiting for direction
- An accounting or finance graduate with 0–2 years' experience in a finance role
- Studying, or planning to study, towards ACA, ACCA, or CIMA
- Strong attention to detail and a genuine commitment to accuracy
- Well organised and dependable, able to manage competing priorities and deliver to deadline
- A clear communicator who is comfortable asking questions and collaborating with others
- Comfortable managing your own workload in a fully remote environment.
- In our remote-first environment, attitude matters as much as technical skill
- Demonstrate radical responsibility by taking ownership of their work and following through on commitments
- Are naturally curious, asking thoughtful questions to understand the "why" behind the numbers, not just the "how."
- Proactively identify opportunities to improve processes and support the wider global finance team
- Embrace learning and new challenges, taking on increasing responsibility as they grow
- Tyk operates a culture of radical responsibility. You'll be trusted with real ownership from the start - and given the support and guidance to make the most of it
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Junior Accounts Associate to join our finance team and support the smooth running of our day-to-day operations
- This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting or finance graduate seeking to develop hands-on experience across transactional accounting and the monthly close, with a clear path to progress into a broader accounting role over time
- You will work closely with our Finance Manager and CFO, building strong accounting foundations while supporting a growing international busines
- You'll start with the fundamentals - accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations and journals - and, as your confidence grows and the team develops, there will be opportunities to take on more across the month-end close and financial reporting
- This is the core of the role and where you'll spend most of your time, supporting financial operations across our four entities (UK, USA, Singapore, and Canada):
- Managing accounts payable - coding supplier invoices to the correct nominal and entity, routing them for approval through Omnea, and helping to process payments on time
- Managing accounts receivable - raising customer invoices accurately and on time, and helping to chase overdue accounts
- Performing daily bank reconciliations across multiple currencies (GBP, USD, EUR, SGD), investigating and resolving discrepancies
- Processing employee expenses via Spendesk & Deel, ensuring spend is correctly coded, supported, and approved
- Posting journals and maintaining accurate, well-organised financial records
- Keeping customer and supplier data current, reconciled, and auditable, and providing weekly AR and AP inputs for cash flow forecasting
- Responding promptly to billing and supplier payment queries and escalating issues where appropriate. Supporting the Month-End Close Each month you'll take on a defined set of close tasks, completing them accurately and to deadline while building your understanding of the full process:
- Assisting month-end balance sheet reconciliations under review - starting with bank, AR, and AP, and building toward more complex balances over time
- Helping to maintain prepayment and accrual schedules - posting monthly releases and raising AP accruals for invoices not yet received
- Supporting the preparation of monthly P&L and balance sheet reporting, helping to investigate unexpected items and assisting with variance analysis
- Completing your assigned month-end tasks accurately and on schedule
