About the role
The App Accountant owns the accounting for everything that happens inside the ZYMIX app: in-app purchases, wallet activity, ticketing and events, rewards points, and payouts to creators, merchants and partners. You will turn platform and payment-provider data into accurate, reconciled books every month.
This is a hands‑on role in a small finance team. It suits someone who likes tracing a number from the transaction log to the ledger and fixing the process when the two disagree.
App revenue and platform reconciliation
- Record and reconcile in‑app purchase revenue from Apple App Store and Google Play, including platform commission, refunds, chargebacks and foreign‑exchange differences.
- Reconcile app back‑end transaction data to store payout reports, payment‑provider statements and bank receipts, and clear breaks promptly.
- Apply revenue recognition correctly to virtual items, coins, gifts, subscriptions, ticket sales and mini‑app income, including principal versus agent assessments.
- Maintain deferred revenue and liability balances for unspent virtual currency, rewards points and unredeemed tickets.
Wallet and user funds
- Reconcile wallet balances daily against the payment provider and safeguarded accounts, keeping user funds clearly separate from company funds.
- Account for top‑ups, transfers, withdrawals, fees and failed or reversed transactions.
- Support the compliance team with financial data for e‑money regulatory reporting in the UK and Gibraltar.
Creator, merchant and partner payouts
- Calculate, check and process payouts to creators, event organisers, merchants and mini‑app partners in line with contract terms.
- Account for prize money, talent rewards and campaign incentives, including ZYMIX Spotlight, with the right tax treatment and supporting records.
- Maintain accruals for amounts earned but not yet paid.
Month‑end and reporting
- Prepare app‑related journals, balance sheet reconciliations and accruals to the month‑end timetable.
- Produce monthly reporting on app revenue, take rate, payout costs and unit economics by feature and market.
- Support budgeting and forecasting with transaction‑level analysis.
- Prepare schedules and evidence for the statutory audit and group consolidation.
Tax and compliance
- Prepare VAT workings for digital services, ticketing and marketplace supplies, including the store‑as‑agent and cross‑border rules.
- Assist with UK VAT returns and with queries from tax advisers and HMRC.
- Keep records that meet UK GAAP or IFRS, Companies Act and regulatory requirements.
Controls and systems
- Design and document controls over in‑app pricing changes, refunds, manual wallet adjustments and payout approvals.
- Work with engineering to specify the finance data and reports the app must produce, and test them before new features launch.
- Automate reconciliations and reduce manual spreadsheets where possible.
- Flag unusual transaction patterns to compliance for fraud and anti‑money‑laundering review.
About you
- Qualified or part‑qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), or equivalent experience.
- At least 3 years in accounting, with experience in a mobile app, gaming, marketplace, fintech or e‑commerce business.
- Hands‑on experience reconciling high‑volume transaction data across app stores, payment providers and bank accounts.
- Sound working knowledge of revenue recognition under IFRS 15 or FRS 102, especially virtual goods, deferred revenue and principal versus agent.
- Good understanding of UK VAT on digital services.
- Advanced Excel, and comfort working with large data exports. SQL is a strong advantage.
- Experience with a cloud accounting system such as Xero, NetSuite or similar.
- Clear written and spoken English, and the confidence to explain finance requirements to product and engineering colleagues.
- Accurate, organised and able to work to month‑end deadlines with little supervision.
Nice to have
- Experience in an e‑money, payments or other regulated financial services environment, including safeguarding reconciliations.
- Fluency in Mandarin is highly desirable.
- Exposure to multi‑entity or multi‑currency group reporting.
- Experience with creator or influencer payouts, prize competitions or live‑streaming gift economies.
- Experience automating finance processes with Power Query, Python or a BI tool.

- Small senior team, direct access to leadership, fast decision‑making.
- Private healthcare through AXA from day 1. Including group income protection and group life cover.
