About us
The Sports Consultancy is an independent sports advisory working with clients around the world. Our head office is based in London with locations in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore.
We provide expert advisory services across a range of areas including commercial strategy and optimisation, host procurement, economic and social impact measurement, and venue feasibility and business planning.
Our team combines deep sector knowledge with rigorous analysis to help rights holders, governing bodies, governments, and commercial partners navigate the global sports landscape.
Your role
This role arises as part of a restructuring of the finance function and represents an excellent opportunity for someone early in their accounting career to gain broad exposure in a dynamic, fast-paced professional services environment.
The role holder will report to the CFOO and will work as part of a small, close-knit finance team. Day-to-day supervision will be provided by the Senior Management Accountant, though we are looking for someone who is capable of managing their own workload and working with a degree of independence as they become established in the role.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
