Scope of Role
We are looking for a recently qualified Chartered Accountant (ACA, ACCA, or equivalent) to join our Finance team on a fixed-term contract basis. This is a hands-on role providing short-term capacity support at a critical point in the Finance calendar. You will work closely with the finance leadership and CFO, contributing directly to the year-end audit process and ongoing month-end reporting cycle.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their post-qualification career who wants meaningful exposure to a PE-backed SaaS business and the breadth of a lean, high-performing finance function.
