Assistant Accountant | High Growth Fintech | London/Hybrid
The Client
Harmonic are excited to be working with a fast-growing, FCA-regulated consumer credit business that has more than doubled its revenue over the past year and expanded its headcount significantly in the same period. It's a great stage to join, with real investment going into building out the finance team. For an ambitious early-career finance professional, this is a chance to build strong accounting fundamentals while learning how reporting, controls, payments, audits, data and regulation come together in a real fintech environment.
The Role
This Assistant Accountant role has been created to support the company's internal accountant as the business continues to grow. You will keep the day-to-day finance operation running smoothly, posting bank transactions, processing supplier invoices and owning regular bank reconciliations, while building genuine hands-on exposure to month-end close: journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet schedules. You will support month-end reporting packs, variance analysis, budgets and forecasts, and help keep the team's records audit-ready. You will be joining a small, hands-on finance team where your work will be visible, your ideas will be heard, and you will get exposure to the finance engine behind a rapidly scaling financial services business. There is a genuine path to progress, with a hiring manager who is invested in developing you.
