You will work closely with colleagues across the finance function, giving you exposure to different teams, processes and systems and the opportunity to develop a broad understanding of how finance operates within an international business.

You will be joining a supportive team where you will receive training on our internal processes and systems. We offer excellent hybrid working flexibility, with a minimum of two days per week in our London office, where you can enjoy our modern City workspace, on-site gym, barista coffee, complimentary snacks and drinks, and a brilliant social calendar.

• Use Excel to review, reconcile and analyse financial data.

• Collaborate with finance colleagues in London and internationally, providing cross-geography support when needed.

• Take ownership of deadlines and deliverables, helping to keep finance processes running smoothly.

Skills & Experience

• Ideally 1–2 years’ finance experience, with exposure to Accounts Payable.

• Strong Excel skills, including VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP and PivotTables.

• A good understanding of finance and accounting principles, with the ability to hit the ground running and learn quickly.

• Working towards a professional qualification such as ACCA, CIMA or AAT, or a degree in Finance, Accounting or a related discipline, would be advantageous.
