Financial Accountant in Egham

£40,000 - £45,000 | Permanent | Full Time | Hybrid Working (1 Day per Week in the Office)

Looking for a role where you can grow with the business?

This is an exciting opportunity for a part-qualified to finalist-level accountant to join a rapidly growing, private equity-backed software business at a pivotal stage of its growth journey.

As the business continues to scale through organic growth and acquisitions, we're creating a brand-new role within the Group Finance team. This position offers the chance to take real ownership, gain exposure to international operations, and play a key role in shaping finance processes as the business invests in growth, technology and automation.

If you're ambitious, systems-minded, commercially aware and eager to accelerate your career in a high-growth environment, this could be the perfect next step.

The Opportunity

Sitting at the heart of the Group Finance function, you'll take ownership of the accounting for a portfolio of overseas entities, playing a key role in monthly reporting, statutory compliance and financial control.

This is far more than a traditional management accounting role. You'll gain hands-on involvement in process improvement initiatives, acquisition integrations and finance transformation projects, while developing alongside a business that's going places.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead month-end close activities across your entities, including journals, accruals, prepayments and fixed assets
• Own balance sheet reconciliations and maintain strong financial controls
• Support the preparation of consolidated reporting, management accounts and statutory financial statements
• Manage intercompany accounting and support overseas entity transactions and integrations
• Prepare and submit VAT returns, liaising with external advisers where required
• Support the year-end audit process and act as a key contact for external auditors
• Drive continuous improvement across finance processes, controls and systems
• Assist with automation projects and reporting enhancements as the finance function evolves

What We're Looking For

• Studying towards ACA, ACCA or CIMA, with part-qualified to finalist-level status
• Strong grounding in financial accounting and reporting
• Experience gained within practice, industry, or a combination of both
