Closing date: 21 Apr 2025

Job Details

Your new company
An early-stage technology start-up, with less than 15 full-time members of staff. They are on a mission to make their product accessible to all businesses regardless of size, structure and financial wealth. They are a close-knit group, with the founders well and truly "rolling up their sleeves" and still in the detail. Based in the heart of the City of London, but with a flexible start-up culture, this is a brilliant opportunity to join a fast-paced, future-thinking business within the tech start-up landscape.

Your new role
Reporting into the founders, you will be:

1. Overseeing month end, and ensuring there are no surprises!
2. Completing basic transactional journal posting, invoice processes and offering ideas and support on how to automate and improve this process.
3. Identifying scope for system and process improvement.
4. Performing variance analysis and commentary to the founders and senior team.
5. Handling any ad-hoc start-up tasks.

What you'll need to succeed
As an ACA / CAANZ / ACCA audit-trained accountant, you will ideally have worked within the SME / start-up space before. We would encourage candidates from outsourcing / business advisory to also apply as this can be very similar, especially if you have worked in the SME space. You need to be an Excel wiz! The basics include VLookups, Pivot Tables, Macros... but they want someone to enhance and improve the processes of which all accounting is currently in Excel, so this has to be high on your skill set! You will most importantly embrace the start-up culture with a "no problem is too small" attitude, and be happy to get stuck in with the business.

What you'll get in return
Initially, this is a short-term contract, but for the right candidate this could be extended as the business grows exponentially! You will be on a daily rate outside IR35.
