You will take ownership of transactional accounting, from accounts payable and general ledger maintenance to the reconciliation of parking revenues and payment settlements.

You will also play a key part in month-end and year-end closes, VAT returns and audit preparations. If you are tech-savvy, detail-oriented and enjoy digging into large datasets to solve problems, automate repetitive tasks and make processes more scalable, you will feel right at home here.

• Closing and Reporting: Carry out month-end and year-end closing tasks, including balance sheet reconciliations and journal entries.

• Compliance and Audit: Support VAT returns, internal reporting and statutory audit preparations.

• Process Automation: Analyse datasets and use digital tools to automate repetitive tasks and scale our finance operations.

• Stakeholder Collaboration: Work directly with the Senior Financial Controller, the CFO, payment providers and external advisors.

What You Bring

• Education: A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Economics or a related field.

• Experience: Around 2 to 5 years of relevant experience in accounting, financial administration or a junior financial control role.

• Core Accounting Skills: A solid understanding of bookkeeping principles, general ledger accounting, reconciliations and month-end closing processes.

• Specific Knowledge: Experience with accounts payable, payments, accruals, intercompany accounting and VAT is preferred.

• Systems and Data: Strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial systems and large datasets; experience with Exact, Xero or similar software is a plus.

• Tech Orientation: You are tech-savvy, with a genuine interest in automation, AI and process optimisation.

• Attention to Detail: You are analytical, accurate and detail-oriented, with a strong sense of personal responsibility.

• Working Style: You are hands-on, pragmatic and proactive, able to work independently and manage competing priorities.

• Communication: You are fluent in English and comfortable working in an international environment.

• Mindset: You are curious, eager to learn and motivated to grow professionally within a fast-scaling organisation.
