The Team
Our finance team is made up of 6 people in the UK, with additional transactional support on the ground in our Houston office. We have one finance team that looks after all things finance - from invoicing and credit control through to all month end and year end processes, reconciliations, budgets and forecasting, consolidation, tax and external and board reporting. The finance team also has significant involvement in project work.
The Group Financial Accountant will work alongside two excellent and experienced accounting professionals to carry out our month end accounting activities, work with our external auditors to ensure a smooth audit process and complete project work and ad hoc tasks as required.
Continuous improvement is a key focus for our team and we have implemented best-in-class finance systems to help us to work efficiently and effectively. We use systems such as NetSuite, Adaptive Planning and Budgeting, Payfit and Payhawk and we're always looking to improve the tools we use and the way we use them. We also use our own productivity tool, Workiro, which we think is pretty great.
This is a varied role that would suit a newly qualified accountant or first-time mover from practice who is looking to work in a fast-paced, fast-growing, multi-currency environment.
