About us
At FluoRok, we are reimagining how the world manufactures fluorochemicals. As an Oxford University spin-out backed by leading venture capital investors, we are developing breakthrough technologies that make the production of essential fluorinated materials safer, more sustainable, and more cost-effective.
Our innovations have applications across some of the world's most important industries, including batteries, pharmaceuticals, crop protection and advanced materials.
Based at ARC Oxford, a premier science and innovation campus, our team works from cutting-edge R&D laboratories and pilot-scale manufacturing facilities as we build the next generation of fluorochemical production.
Role purpose
As FluoRok scales from a venture-backed innovator to a future industrial leader, the Management Accountant will play a key role in building and strengthening our in-house finance function and supporting the next phase of growth. Working closely with the Head of Finance, you will help implement the systems, processes and controls that underpin a high-performing finance organisation. Initially, you will support our finance transformation programme and transition to internally produced reporting. Over time, you will take ownership of month-end close, management accounts, cash reporting, reconciliations, tax compliance and day-to-day finance operations. This is a unique opportunity to make a visible impact, work closely with senior leadership, and help shape the financial foundations of a fast-growing deep-tech company.
Key ResponsibilitiesFinance transformation and systems
- Support the transition to a fully in-house finance function by improving financial records, data structures, processes and controls.
- Build and maintain scalable accounting schedules, working papers, month-end checklists and reporting packs.
- Support the configuration and optimisation of Xero, Dext, ApprovalMax and any other financial systems including the chart of accounts, cost centres, project codes and approval routes.
Month-end close and management reporting
- Manage month-end timetable and prepare journals, accruals, prepayments, depreciation, fixed-asset schedules and balance-sheet reconciliations.
- Review ledger integrity, coding, cut-off and supporting evidence, investigating differences and escalating material or unusual matters to the Head of Finance.
- Prepare monthly management accounts, cash and working-capital reporting, financial KPIs and clear variance analysis for finance and non-finance stakeholders.
- Support budgeting and reforecasting, and the development of manufacturing, inventory, project and capital-expenditure accounting as FluoRok scales its pilot and commercial operations.
