Senior Accountant

About the role

We're looking for a Senior Accountant / Assistant Controller to take ownership of core accounting for our UK and European entities, reporting into the Financial Controller and working closely with the wider US-based group finance team. This is an excellent first move out of practice for a qualified or finalist accountant who wants real commercial exposure, ownership, and a fast-paced, private equity-backed environment to grow in – without being a small cog in a huge machine.

You'll be the day-to-day owner of the European numbers, with genuine scope to shape local processes as the business scales, while working within a broader global finance structure.

What you'll do

•     Owning month-end close for UK and European entities, including journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet reconciliations

•     Preparing statutory accounts and supporting audits under IFRS across multiple jurisdictions

•     Managing intercompany transactions and reconciliations between European entities and the wider global group

•     Partnering with the Financial Controller and US-based group finance team on reporting, consolidation support, and technical accounting matters

•     Maintaining and improving controls and processes within NetSuite as the group scales

•     Supporting VAT and other statutory/tax filings across UK and EU territories, working with local advisors where needed

•     Getting involved in ad hoc projects: system improvements, acquisition integrations, and process automation

Acting as a key point of contact for auditors, tax advisors and other external stakeholders

Qualifications

•     ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified or finalist (or equivalent), ideally with a practice background

•     Solid grounding in IFRS, with exposure to UK and/or European statutory reporting

•     Previous experience with NetSuite strongly preferred

•     Comfortable working in a remote-first, fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly

•     A proactive, hands-on approach – happy to get into the detail as well as think about the bigger picture

•     Strong communication skills and confidence working directly with stakeholders across the business

•     SaaS or software industry experience is a plus, but not essential

Offerings

•     Salary up to £65,000, plus 10% annual bonus

•     8% employer pension contribution

•     25 days holiday plus bank holidays

•     Fully remote working

•     A genuine seat at the table in a private equity-backed, scaling SaaS business

•     Real ownership and exposure to UK and European operations from day one

•     The chance to build your career in a business that's growing fast – and growing you with it
