What You’ll Do

• Reporting to the Head of Finance, this role is accountable for reporting outputs, reporting standards, technical accounting and external disclosures.
• This role is designed as a technical and reporting position, acting as the hands‑on technical lead, raising standards through example and direct ownership of complex areas.
• In our small team, ownership means personally preparing core deliverables and being accountable for their accuracy and timeliness, not delegating or reviewing others’ work.

Reporting and Audit

• Prepare monthly bookings reporting.
• Own the accuracy of monthly PBI reporting dashboards.
• Own statutory accounts and external investor reporting from start to finish, including preparing and completing a large portion of the fieldwork.
• Act as primary point of contact for external auditors and advisors.

• Prepare the monthly intercompany accounting, consolidation and cashflow report.
• Prepare accounting elements of the monthly reporting deck.
• Partner with the Finance Manager to improve close accuracy, automation, and documentation.

Accounting and Technical Expertise

• Own accurate accounting for revenue recognition, accruals, provisions, share‑based compensation, and complex contracts.

• Evaluate new products, commercial models, acquisitions and contracts for accounting impact.
• Integrate opening balances from acquired businesses and own acquisition accounting.

• Playing a key role in global tax compliance, including transfer pricing and US tax filings.
• Preparing quarterly VAT returns.

• 2+ years of total experience working in industry.
• In‑depth knowledge and practical application of Netsuite or equivalent ERP and Microsoft Excel.
• Excellent technical accounting knowledge and attention to detail.
• Good knowledge of US and UK international corporate tax and transaction tax compliance.
• Good knowledge of the Ad‑Tech industry would be a plus.
• Proven ability to personally prepare complex accounting outputs and stand behind them with senior stakeholders and auditors.
