This role focuses on day-to-day financial operations, providing meaningful exposure to internal processes, the wider team, and client-facing event accounting support.

    • Maintain accurate financial records and ledgers across multiple entities
    • Record day-to-day financial transactions, including sales, purchases, receipts, and payments

    • Complete tidy supporting schedules and keep documentation audit-ready
    • Support the development of finance processes and internal controls

    • Support event accounting by reconciling trader reports, card takings, and event-level sales data
    • Provide clients with accurate information on their accounts and resolve queries promptly
  • Compliance & Month-End
    • Assist in preparing VAT returns and other statutory filings
    • Collaborate with the Management Accountant on monthly close processes

    • Proficient in Excel/Google Sheets and comfortable working with data
    • Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
    • Strong communication skills - able to deal confidently with colleagues and clients
    • Proactive, self-motivated, and effective in a remote-first environment
  • Personal qualities
    • Detail-driven and accountable, with a strong sense of ownership
    • Deadline-focused, able to balance priorities effectively
    • Collaborative and solutions-focused – someone who asks “how do we fix this?” rather than “who’s to blame?”
    • Curious, proactive, and excited to learn across the business
