A Private Equity-backed Financial Services business has an opportunity for a Senior Financial Accountant in London. Working within the Financial Control function, this is a new role which has been added to the existing structure to support with increasing demand as the business experiences significant growth.

You will be a part of an experienced and impressive Finance function in a small but fast-growth organisation which has received significant investment. This means plenty of hands-on accounting responsibility as well as involvement in corporate finance, M&A and capital activities.

A sound knowledge of core accounting principles and a track record of day to day management in a finance function will be key. This is a small and flexible finance team, so looking for someone who is equally comfortable completing bank recs, accruals etc as they are in partnering exec teams and working in corporate finance activities.

Previous experience of working in Financial Services will be key, preferably with some exposure to the Insurance sector.

As the business looks to grow, there will be more and more opportunity to get involved in different areas of Finance and support in the development of the team. Naturally, in a start-up environment this role will appeal to someone who is comfortable with variety, fast-pace and putting in place new process from scratch.

An excellent opportunity to join a growth-focused business which would provide the right sort of skill set and opportunity to grow into a Financial Controller / Head of Finance in future.
