Package: £40,000 - £50,000 + full benefits

At tmGroup, we're taking conveyancing into a brighter, smarter, and simpler future with our award-winning technology. PE-backed and innovation-driven, we provide instant quote tools, seamless client onboarding, comprehensive searches, and robust risk management-empowering our clients to move forward with confidence.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys getting into the detail of month-end, understands how numbers tell the story of a business, and is motivated to continuously improve how things are done. This isn't just a "produce the numbers" role-we're looking for someone curious, analytical, and proactive. Someone who wants to understand why the numbers look the way they do, challenge them, and help shape better, more efficient processes as we continue to scale.

What you'll do:

• Prepare accurate and timely consolidated monthly accounts and management information across multiple entities.
• Own key month end processes including prepayments, accruals, depreciation, rebates, and revenue adjustments.
• Review, post, and challenge journals-ensuring financial data accurately reflects business performance.
• Take ownership of balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring integrity of data and resolving issues proactively.
• Analyse overheads and gross margin performance, working closely with Heads of Function to support cost control and decision-making.
• Support the year end audit process and collaborate with auditors to meet deadlines.
• Work closely with stakeholders across the business, building strong relationships and providing meaningful financial insight.
• Contribute to Group reporting requirements, including Cognos submissions where required.
• Manage ONS reporting across the Group.
• Respond to ad hoc queries and deliver insightful analysis to support business decisions.
• Continuously review and strengthen financial controls and processes.
• Partner with the Systems Accountant on finance system improvements and change initiatives.
• Identify opportunities to streamline, automate, and improve month end and reporting processes.

About you:

• Finalist or qualified accountant (CIMA/ACCA/ACA or equivalent)-we're open to either, with study support available.
• Solid experience of month-end accounting (prepayments, accruals, reconciliations) in a deadline-driven environment.
• Strong analytical mindset-you're comfortable reviewing numbers, spotting issues, and understanding what needs to be corrected.
• Experience of working with multiple entities and understanding how business performance translates into financial results.
• A natural problem solver with high attention to detail and a curiosity to dig deeper.
• Confident communicator, able to work closely with stakeholders and bring them on the journey with the numbers.
• Highly organised, able to prioritise and deliver under pressure during month end.
• Proactive and improvement-focused-you're always asking "how can we do this better?"
• Comfortable with change and willing to try new approaches, even if they don't always work first time.
• Strong Excel skills and experience working with finance systems (Microsoft Business Central and Cognos desirable).

Opportunities:

• You'll see the end-to-end picture-from transactions through to reporting and insight.
• You'll have real autonomy to improve processes and make a tangible impact.
• You'll work closely with senior stakeholders, helping shape how the business understands its performance.
• Genuine opportunity for growth and progression, with potential to develop into a more senior role as the team expands.
• You'll be part of a finance team that has made huge strides in the last 4 months, improving reporting, visibility, and stakeholder engagement - and is now focused on taking that even further.

What we offer:

• £40,000-£50,000 + full benefits + annual bonus
• Study leave package (including exam leave)
• 25 days holiday + holiday purchase scheme (increasing with service), private health, pension, life assurance
• Flexible benefits scheme covering financial, wellness, legal, and medical support
• Free parking on site, breakfast and fresh fruit
• Rewards platform with a wide range of selective options
• The opportunity to play a key role in improving financial insight and processes in a growing, PE-backed business
