About the Role
Our client is a high-growth financial services business at an exciting stage of scale-up. They are investing heavily in data and automation, using advanced tools and AI agents to modernise how their finance function operates. This is a rare opportunity to join a Group Finance team that is genuinely ahead of the curve on tech adoption, rather than talking about it.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who combines strong technical financial control with excellent stakeholder management skills and who has a genuine appetite for using technology and AI to drive efficiency in finance processes.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the month-end close process, including preparation of group management accounts and consolidated financial statements
- Maintain robust financial controls, ensuring compliance with accounting standards (IFRS/UK GAAP), internal policies and regulatory requirements
- Support statutory reporting and audit processes across the group, liaising with external auditors as required
- Partner with stakeholders across the business, finance and non-finance, to ensure accurate and timely financial information
- Identify and implement opportunities to automate manual finance processes using data tools, scripting and AI agents
- Support balance sheet reconciliations, intercompany accounting and group-level reporting
- Assist with regulatory reporting requirements specific to financial services (e.g. FCA returns, where relevant)
- Present financial performance and control updates clearly to senior stakeholders
- Drive continuous improvement in reporting processes, systems and controls
- Manage ad hoc projects and technical accounting matters as the business scales
