Role
Who you are

- You’ve done this before: You have at least 1 year of experience in a fast-paced startup or scale-up environment, where you’ve successfully worn multiple hats
- You bring solid experience from audit: You’ve spent around 3-5 years at a top 10 UK accounting firm and are ideally ACA or ACCA qualified. Requirements like IFRS/UK GAAP come second-nature to you

- You’re a great communicator: You can simplify complex information, build trust, and influence stakeholders at all levels
- You’re detail-oriented: Highly organised and efficient, you can manage competing priorities and meet deadlines in a dynamic environment
- You’re a problem solver: You take a proactive, solution-focused approach with a continuous improvement mindset
- You’re curious: You take the time to understand our financial ecosystem and bring fresh ideas to continuously enhance and evolve our finance function. If you’ve used Oracle NetSutie before, that would be ideal
