Job description

Time to make the move out of audit?

“For an aspiring accountant, it’s an amazing platform to springboard your career.”

You’ve put in the graft in audit, built a strong technical foundation, and now you’re ready for something bigger. A role with more variety, more exposure, and the chance to shape your own career path.

This is your opportunity to join a high-growth, PE-backed software business in a newly created Group Accountant role. It’s a business that’s scaling rapidly, meaning you’ll have plenty of opportunities to add value, drive change, and develop—not just keep the wheels turning.

It’s big enough to offer clear career progression but small enough to give you direct exposure to senior leadership and business-critical projects. You won’t be just another cog in the machine here.

What’s in it for you?

  • £65,000 + 10% Bonus + Shares + 7% Matched Pension + Private Healthcare
  • Equity options in the future—a real opportunity to share in the company’s success
  • Genuine career progression—a clear pathway into senior finance roles – plenty of examples of
  • Hybrid working—typically 1–2 days in the office, but you control your diary
  • A business that values work-life balance
  • Exposure to senior stakeholders—working closely with an FD and leadership team who’ve been in your shoes (ex Top 6)

 

What you’ll be doing:

This isn’t a routine reporting role—there’s a strong project focus alongside core technical responsibilities.

  • Leading the Group consolidation and Annual Report
  • Owning the year-end audit process for the Group and subsidiaries
  • Supporting M&A activity—integration, standardisation, and process improvement
  • Partnering with senior finance leaders to establish a global reporting function
  • Driving efficiencies, automation, and system improvements across finance

 

Who we’re looking for:

  • A first-time mover from a Top 6 audit firm
  • Strong technical accounting and IFRS knowledge
  • Group consolidation experience—whether from audit or hands-on exposure
  • Someone who enjoys solving problems, making improvements, and adding value
  • A proactive mindset—this business is evolving fast, and they want people who embrace change

If you’re ambitious and ready to make the move, let’s chat. No CV is needed upfront—just drop me a message.
