Company mission
Rebuilding the energy transaction system, making it transparent and fair.
Role
Who you are
- Fully qualified accountant (e.g. ACCA, CIMA)
- 4–5 years’ experience post-qualification — including time in a practice AND in a startup or scale-up
- Strong understanding of accruals, prepayments, reconciliations, and the overall month-end process
- Excellent spreadsheet skills (Excel or Google Sheets), including pivots, lookups, and working with large datasets
- Analytical thinker who can explain financial insights clearly to non-finance stakeholders
- Comfortable working autonomously and taking ownership of key deliverables from day one
Desirable
- Experience in fintech or payments (complex, regulated environments with high transaction volumes)
- Exposure to the energy sector is a plus, but not essential
- Previous involvement in automating or improving finance processes
- Experience working in high-growth, fast-paced teams
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Management Accountant to strengthen our FinOps team

- This is a hands-on, impactful role with space to improve processes and bring automation where possible
- This is a crucial hire as we continue to grow — our current financial complexity, volume of data and number of payment operations mean we need someone smart and proactive in the seat now
- The person in this role will take ownership of the monthly management accounts process, ideally becoming fully self-sufficient within three months
- This unlocks bandwidth for the current team and ensures we’re able to operate at a higher level of accuracy, control, and speed
- Month-end close: Lead the management accounts process from start to finish, including accruals and prepayments
- Accounting schedules: Maintain up-to-date accrual and prepayment schedules to support accurate reporting
- Payments & invoicing: Support payment runs, track invoices, liaise with vendors, and ensure timely approvals
- Reconciliations: Own reconciliations of key general ledger accounts each month
- Variance analysis: Provide clear, concise commentary on variances and financial movements
- Process improvement: Identify inefficiencies and opportunities to automate workflows across accounting operations
- Collaboration: Work cross-functionally to gather accurate data and share insights
- Audit: Support external audits with relevant data and analysis
- Success Measures
- Management accounts prepared and delivered independently by month 3
- Key GL accounts reconciled monthly, with clear audit trails
- Streamlined payments process and improved invoice visibility
- Variance commentary delivered in time and understood by stakeholders
Application process
- We move fast. Most processes take 2 to 3 weeks from first chat to offer. If you need us to adapt anything, let us know
- Intro call with Talent, 30 minutes
- Hiring Manager interview, 60 minutes
- Skills interview with Finance [and cross-functional partners], 60 to 90 minutes, including a practical exercise
- Culture Add interview with leadership stakeholders, 45 minutes
Our take
tem is a next-gen energy transactions company that changes the way renewable energy is bought, sold and powered. Rebalancing the playing field away from "Big Energy", tem creates affordable, traceable and smart energy transaction management tools.
The company provides businesses and consumers with access to the same financial benefits as Big Energy companies by distributing its own purchased energy to customers. Once they’re signed up, customers are matched with a suitable generator, and the tem platform helps execute contracts, take payments, and manage invoicing.
This is a truly disruptive concept, and is proving to be a successful one. tem currently processes over £50 million in direct transactions and saves millions for over 1000 UK businesses wanting to switch from traditional utilities tied to the wholesale market. Whilst UK consumers are notoriously hesitant to switch providers, recent soaring energy prices is luring many into giving it a go.
