Job Description
Bank of London is one of only six UK clearing banks with direct access to the country's payment systems. Built on modern, cloud-native technology, we provide businesses with secure, API-driven banking that's fast, compliant, and built for growth. Our role is simple: help ambitious businesses turn their plans into reality by removing barriers and simplifying complexity. If you want to work where technology meets banking, where security comes first, and where your work directly enables business ambition, you're in the right place.
Office Location: London | Hybrid (3 days in office per week) | Salary range: £50,000-£55,000
Who we are looking for
This is a standout opportunity for an ambitious part-qualified accountant, offering genuine breadth and depth. As a lean, collaborative team, we value people who are happy to get involved across traditional reporting lines – spanning financial reporting (including technical accounting), FP&A, accounts payable, treasury and regulatory reporting. We are also focused on continually improving how we work – embracing AI and automation to streamline our processes and remove non-value-add tasks – and anyone with a keen interest in this area is of particular interest to us. You will build on your existing experience, deepen your technical knowledge and grow into a valued specialist – working closely with the CFO, senior stakeholders and external advisers on the financial processes critical to the Bank’s operations.
Job Requirements
Essential Qualifications & Experience:
- A part-qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) actively studying towards completion
- Experience in a finance or accounting role, ideally within a bank or financial institution
- Some practical exposure to technical accounting and/or tax – for example share-based payments, leases, income recognition, Corporation Tax or VAT. We would equally welcome candidates with other relevant accounting experience who are keen to develop in these areas
- Strong Excel skills with the ability to work with large data sets
- Excellent communication skills – written and verbal
- A high degree of ownership, initiative and a “can-do” attitude
- Attention to detail and strong organisational skills
- A genuine appetite to broaden and deepen your experience across finance and to keep developing technically
