If you are tired of doing piecemeal ledger work and ready to take full ownership of the end-to-end management accounts process, this is your opportunity. At The Worlds Online Festival (WOLF), based in the vibrant heart of Shoreditch, we operate in the fast-paced digital entertainment and online festival space. We are looking for an ambitious, forward-thinking Management Accountant who can hit the ground running, take real responsibility from Day 1, and grow alongside our business.
Working in a tight-knit London finance team alongside our Financial Controller, you won't be hidden away in a back-office silo. You will get direct exposure to global operations and play a key role in building out our finance function, streamlining international reporting, and taking on increasing strategic responsibility as the team grows.
Who We Are Looking For:
- Management Accounts Capability: You are either recently qualified (ACCA/CIMA) or close to reaching that level, with practical exposure to pulling together management accounts.
- Core Technical Understanding: You have a solid, confident grip on core month-end mechanics—accruals, prepayments, fixed asset registers, and control account reconciliations—and critically, the proven ability to bring these together into a full P&L and Balance Sheet.
- Hit-the-Ground-Running Mindset: Pragmatic, proactive, and analytical. You are ready to roll up your sleeves, handle the core month-end process independently, and adapt to a fast-moving environment.
The Role & Unrivalled Exposure:
- Management Reporting: Prepare the monthly Group Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reports. Maintain prepayment/accrual schedules, fixed asset registers, and intercompany reconciliations.
- Control & Reconciliations: Perform full control account reconciliations and oversee merchant/bank reconciliations across multiple international currencies in Xero.
- Global Tax & Compliance: Process quarterly VAT returns across the UK, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and MOSS (with support from the FC).
- Payroll & Audit Prep: Work with HR to process monthly payroll and assist with year-end audit preparation and close.
- Process Improvement & Growth: Support the FC with ad-hoc financial projects, process streamlining, and team expansion.
What We Offer in Return:
- Growth & Exposure: A role designed to stretch your abilities, offer direct FC mentorship, and expand your career as the business grows.
- Financial Package: Competitive salary up to £47K.
- Work-Life Balance: Hybrid working (minimum 2 days in our Shoreditch office on Mondays & Wednesdays) and Early Finish Fridays.
- Time Off: 25 days holiday (increasing with service) plus discretionary days off between Christmas and New Year.
- Perks & Culture: Perkbox subscription, competitive pension, regular team lunches, and social get-togethers.
