Senior Finance Manager - Financial Accounts in London

An exciting opportunity has arisen in our team for a highly motivated and hands-on Finance Manager to join us as we continue our growth into 2025.

Hire Space is transforming the way businesses manage their event programmes, combining next-generation technology with industry expertise to help companies run events more efficiently and effectively. As Finance Manager, you’ll be at the heart of our finance function, ensuring we have the processes, insight, and discipline needed to support our continued expansion.

Reporting directly to our newly appointed Finance Director, you’ll take ownership of all day-to-day finance and accounting operations, while also supporting the design and implementation of scalable financial processes that will underpin our future growth. This role is perfect for a newly qualified accountant who is eager to take on significant responsibility, gain broad exposure to the inner workings of a high-growth tech company, and make a meaningful impact on the way we operate.

Your strong technical skills, commercial mindset, and eye for detail will enable you to deliver accurate financial reporting, manage cashflow effectively, and ensure compliance across all areas of the finance function. At the same time, you’ll use data and insight to help shape decision-making across the business, partnering with teams to monitor performance, forecast growth, and identify opportunities to improve efficiency.

By taking a proactive and innovative approach, you’ll develop scalable systems and processes that will evolve with us, supporting both the Finance Director and the wider leadership team as we continue to expand. Importantly, you’ll ensure that our finance data is accurate, timely, and actionable, providing the foundations for smart decisions that will drive Hire Space forward.
