Group Management Accountant Bristol

Fractile is building the compute infrastructure that the next generation of AI needs. Our hardware and chip engineering teams are solving some of the hardest problems in the industry, and our Finance function is the backbone that keeps everything moving. We're a team of around 90 people across London, Bristol, and San Francisco, and we're growing fast.

This is a great opportunity for a newly or recently qualified accountant (ACA) who wants to get under the bonnet of a high‑growth tech business, own meaningful work from day one, and build out their technical finance skills in a genuinely interesting environment.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, you will own the production of monthly management accounts for the group and take ownership of the finance systems that feed into them. Alongside that core remit, you will be actively involved in the day‑to‑day running of the finance function and have meaningful scope to grow into FP&A: budget vs. actuals, cashflow forecasting, and management reporting for the leadership team and board.

This is a role for someone early in their post‑qualification career who wants exposure to the full breadth of a group finance function in a high‑growth deep‑tech business not a narrow specialist seat. You will work closely with the FC, the wider finance team, and cross‑functional stakeholders across engineering, operations, procurement, and people.

What You’ll Do

• Group Management Accounts (Core Remit)
  • Own the production of monthly management accounts for the group, including consolidation across UK, Taiwan, and US entities.

  • Own the month‑end close timetable, including accruals, prepayments, fixed asset accounting, and balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Apply FRS 102 technical treatments across fixed assets, leases (ROU), capitalisation policy, and revenue as the business evolves.
• Finance Systems Ownership
  • Take ownership of the finance systems landscape, Xero across entities today, with a NetSuite migration planned within the next few months.
  • Maintain the integrity of the chart of accounts, tracking categories, and reporting hierarchies across all entities.
  • Play an active role in the NetSuite implementation, including data migration, configuration decisions, and reporting design.
  • Identify and deliver automation opportunities across the finance stack to reduce manual effort and improve close speed.
• Management Reporting & FP&A (Growth Scope)
  • Build and maintain the budget vs. actuals process, including variance analysis and narrative commentary for budget holders.
  • Support rolling cashflow forecasting and rephasing, particularly important in a pre‑revenue scaling context.
  • Produce spend reports and dashboards for budget holders across engineering, operations, and the executive team.
• Day‑to‑Day Finance Operations
  • Be actively involved in the running of the finance function, including oversight of the AP cycle.
