Job Description

The Management Accountant role is a hands-on, high-impact finance role for someone early in their career who wants real responsibility, fast. You’ll own the day-to-day finance function, support leadership with clear, decision-ready insight, and help build a smart, automated, AI-enabled finance operation alongside a sharp, ambitious team.

What you’ll do as a Management Accountant

  • Own the finance engine
  • Run finance operations end-to-end
  • Lead month-end and deliver clean, accurate management accounts
  • Produce reporting that explains what’s really happening in the business
  • Keep financial systems robust, reliable, and well-controlled
  • Support audit, compliance, and all core governance requirements
  • Build scalable processes
  • Strengthen AP, payroll, expenses, and financial controls
  • Automate relentlessly
  • Apply AI tools wherever they genuinely improve speed, accuracy, or insight
  • Drive insight
  • Maintain and improve the financial model
  • Support forecasting, scenario planning, and cash flow management
  • Partner with leadership to inform real commercial decisions
  • Lead from day one
  • Act as the first point of contact for all finance-related questions
  • Work across every cost centre
  • Represent Finance internally and externally with confidence

What success looks like

  • Month-end delivered accurately and on time, without hand-holding
  • Commentary that adds genuine insight, not just narrative
  • Systems and processes that are stronger because you built them
  • Trust earned across the organisation
  • A visibly steep learning curve

You should apply if…

  • You’re ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified or part-qualified — or you have exceptional raw aptitude that makes people ask, “How are you already this good?”
  • You want to grow faster than a traditional finance path allows
  • You’re analytical, structured, and deeply curious
  • You stay calm under pressure
  • You have a low ego and high ownership
  • You’re genuinely excited by automation and AI in real-world finance workflows

Skip this role if…

  • You need constant direction
  • You prefer a rigid process over adaptability
  • You’re uncomfortable with ambiguity

Benefits

  • In addition to being fully remote, we offer:
  • Unlimited annual leave
  • Flexible 40-hour working week (core hours: 10:00–16:30)
  • Stock options — everyone is an owner
  • £800 annual learning budget
  • £400 home office setup budget
  • £900 annual wellbeing budget (Private Health Insurance available)
  • VR headset to immerse yourself in our world
  • 12 weeks fully paid family leave for everyone, regardless of gender or sexual identity, from day one

Position: Management Accountant  -  Job Type: Full-Time  -  Salary: £50,000 to £65,000 per annum   -  Location: Remote
