Assistant Financial Accountant in London

About Eucalyptus

We’re on a mission to make good health last a lifetime. More than 1 billion people live with obesity worldwide, driving preventable chronic conditions. We’re here to build better long-term care. Euc is the company behind Juniper, one of the world’s largest weight-management programs combining GLP-1 medication with personalised nutrition, movement support, and clinician-led care from prescribers, nurses, health coaches, pharmacists, and dietitians. Our published clinical research shows that our combined clinical and behavioural approach helps patients lose significantly more weight during their treatment with Juniper by four times.

Our Growth Story:

• 130% YoY revenue growth and a 90% reduction in cash burn, with $100M+ raised from investors including BOND, NewView, Blackbird and Airtree.
• Supported over 350k patients living with obesity across our 5 markets.
• Received selective NICE endorsement to provide services to the NHS.
• Tailored our offering to thousands of patients in Germany and Japan.

About The Role

You’ll play a critical role in the Financial Control team. You'll own core general ledger activities while also contributing to management reporting, budgeting, and business partnering across the EMEA entities. Reporting to the Senior Manager, you'll work in a lean, high-trust finance team where your output is visible and your progression is real. If you're a part-qualified accountant who wants to develop fast, in a business moving at real pace — this is the role.

What You'll Do

• Own the general ledger.
• Prepare and post journals — accruals, prepayments, intercompany entries, inventory adjustments, reclassifications — with full audit trail.
• Own the month-end close for designated EMEA entities, hitting deadlines without dropping accuracy.
• Perform balance sheet reconciliations and resolve variances with a sense of urgency.
• Maintain reconciliations across NetSuite, internal reporting, and group reporting packages.
• Drive management reporting.
• Help prepare monthly management accounts and P&L by department, with clear commentary for senior stakeholders.
• Support variance analysis against budget and prior periods — not just the numbers, but the story behind them.
• Contribute to budgets, forecasts, and rolling cash flow analyses for the UK market.
• Translate financial data into plain language for operational and commercial leads who aren't finance experts.
• Keep us compliant and audit-ready.
• Ensure compliance with UK GAAP/IFRS and internal control frameworks.
• Assist with VAT returns and other regulatory tasks on time, every time.
• Support the external audit process — schedules, reconciliations, auditor queries — so we're never caught off guard.
• Maintain fixed asset records and depreciation schedules where required.
• Build and improve.
• Spot opportunities to automate and streamline financial processes — we want someone who asks 'why are we still doing it this way?'
• Partner with teams across the business (commercial, ops, clinical) to gather data and surface insight.
• Support ad hoc projects and analysis as Euc grows into new conditions and markets.

About You

• Part-qualified and actively studying towards ACCA, CIMA, or ACA.
• 2–4 years in a finance or accounting role with hands-on exposure to both financial and management accounting.
• Experience supporting or owning month-end close in a professional or commercial environment.
• Comfortable in an ERP system (NetSuite is a bonus; experience with any modern ERP matters).
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills — pivot tables, lookups, basic modelling as a minimum.
• Exposure to multi-entity environments is a plus, not a must.

So, Why Join Eucalyptus?
