About Us
TPH Global is one of the UK's leading Accounting SaaS product and Payroll service providers for the film and TV industries. We work globally with leading brands, such as Netflix, Marvel, Disney, and the BBC, and the team is driven by delivering quality and value to these clients with a high level of service.
With offices in London and Australia, we continue to grow and expand our team. We work in a flexible hybrid model with team members usually in the Twickenham office 3 days per week.
The Role
We're searching for a hands-on Senior Management Accountant to take ownership of the day-to-day running of the UK finance function, leading a small finance team and reporting to the local Head of Operations, with a secondary line to the Australia-based fractional CFO, to keep a busy, high-volume payroll business running accurately and on time.
This is a hands-on role with genuine ownership. You'll run the UK finance operations that keep a busy, high-volume payroll business accurate and on time, from releasing client payments and weekly reconciliations through to month-end, while leading and supporting a finance team of three. We're a service business, and finance is part of what our clients pay for, so being responsive and easy to deal with matters here as much as technical strength.
We expect this role will see you:
- Own the finance side of the client payroll cycle, releasing payments once invoices are paid and funds reconciled, and making accurate, on-time payments to HMRC, pension providers, and industry schemes (including the Directors Guild, Screen Actors Guild, and Equity arrangements).
- Keep client funds and treasury under close watch across the accounts, making sure client money is in and reconciled before each run goes out, so wages are never released against funds that haven't landed.
- Run weekly bank reconciliations across multiple client accounts, resolving discrepancies and keeping everything accurate and complete.
- Prepare monthly management accounts, and provide budget-versus-actual and cash-flow analysis with clear, useful commentary for management.
- Oversee TPH's own payroll and VAT returns, and keep the weekly cycle running reliably.
- Lead and support a finance team of three, allocating and reviewing work, holding regular one-to-ones, and keeping the team organized and delivering to deadline.
- Keep core finance procedures documented and current, raising any control gaps early.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Higher-level financial planning, forecasting, strategy, and year-end and audit sit with our fractional CFO, so you can focus on doing the finance work brilliantly rather than being pulled away from it. This is an ideal role for someone who genuinely loves the craft of accounting, thrives on order and accuracy, takes real pride in a clean set of books and a well-run team, and enjoys finding better, more automated ways to run a finance function.

Requirements
To be effective, we believe you'll need:
- A qualified, finalist, or strong qualified-by-experience accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent).
- Solid experience across management and transactional accounting, reconciliations, and month-end.
- A good understanding of payroll and related statutory obligations, including HMRC, pensions, and VAT.
- Experience reconciling high transaction volumes and managing multiple bank accounts.
- Experience supervising or managing a small finance team, allocating and reviewing others' work.
- A clear communicator who's comfortable dealing directly with clients and stakeholders at all levels.
- Advanced Excel, and a commitment to using AI and finance tools to work efficiently.
Experience in payroll services, a bureau environment, or financial outsourcing would be a real bonus, as would familiarity with finance systems, integrations, and automation tools.
Benefits
In return, you'll take a genuinely central role in a growing, global business, with supportive leadership and a fractional CFO. We're a growing, service-led business that backs people who take real ownership and deliver. You'll have the room to do the work you love, and to do it well.
