AML & KYC Officer in London

A part-time role with real autonomy (and real support). You will be working within an ICAEW and FCA regulated environment, with well-established AML policies, controls and oversight in place. This is not a box-ticking role. It’s about applying your experience, maintaining strong controls, and managing risk well within a clear and proportionate governance framework.

This is a part-time role (21 hours per week), working alongside senior stakeholders who understand AML properly and want to get it right. You will play a key role in ensuring our AML and KYC processes operate effectively, proportionately and in line with regulatory expectations.

Responsibilities

• Around 70–80% of your time will be focused on core AML and KYC activity. This includes conducting customer due diligence (CDD and EDD), sanctions screening, beneficial ownership analysis, and using Companies House and related sources.
• You will manage rolling monthly client reviews, oversee the annual risk-assessment cycle, and maintain accurate, audit-ready records across Microsoft Dynamics CRM and First AML.
• The remaining 20–30% will focus on systems, reporting and workflow oversight. This includes ensuring data integrity across Microsoft Dynamics, reconciling CRM data with Excel-based trackers, producing partner-level monitoring reports, and identifying opportunities to improve workflows, automation and overall audit readiness.
• A key part of the role is coordinating partner input for rolling client anniversary reviews. You will produce monthly lists of clients due for review, coordinate structured partner sign-off, track progress, and follow up where information is outstanding.
• You will operate at an officer/senior level from day one, with day-to-day responsibility for AML and KYC activity across the firm.
• You will apply your professional judgement to risk ratings, due-diligence requirements and escalation decisions, working within the firm’s established governance framework.

Qualifications

This role will suit someone who:

• Holds an ICA AML Certificate or Diploma Level 4 (or equivalent AML training in a regulated environment).
• Has proven experience delivering CDD and EDD independently, including sanctions screening, beneficial ownership assessment, overseas clients and higher-risk scenarios.
• Is confident operating in a regulated professional-services environment.
• Has strong experience working with CRM systems (ideally Microsoft Dynamics), Excel for reconciliation and reporting, and digital ID-verification platforms such as First AML.
• Is comfortable managing rolling monthly and anniversary-based review cycles.
• Can engage confidently with partners and senior stakeholders on AML matters.
• Brings sound judgement, strong attention to detail and a pragmatic approach to risk.

Even better if you also have:

• ICA AML Diploma Level 6 (or are working towards it).
• Experience supporting or deputising for an MLRO.
• Exposure to Source of Funds or Source of Wealth assessments.
• Experience within an LLP or accountancy-practice environment.

Practical details

• Hours: Part-time (21 hours per week).
• Firm's working pattern: Flexible / Hybrid (3 days office, 2 days home).
• Office location: Fitzrovia, London.
• Salary: up to £36,000 per annum (full-time equivalent £60,000), pro-rated for 21 hours per week.
• Reports to: Figen Davies, Practice Director.
• Works closely with: MLRO, Partners, Business Support Team.
