Senior Group Financial Accountant

Salary: £65,000-£75,000

Location: London

A leading global technology company is seeking a Senior Group Financial Accountant to join its collaborative and forward-thinking finance team in London. This is an exceptional opportunity for you to play a pivotal role in supporting all aspects of global financial reporting, tax compliance and statutory accounting across multiple international entities.

You will be joining a thriving organisation that values teamwork, curiosity, and the sharing of knowledge, where your expertise will directly contribute to the success of both the business and its clients.

With a flexible hybrid working model, generous wellbeing rewards, and a culture that encourages professional growth, this position offers you the chance to make a meaningful impact while developing your career within a supportive and inclusive environment.

If you are passionate about responsible financial practices and eager to work alongside knowledgeable peers in a non-bureaucratic setting, this could be the perfect next step for you.

What you'll do

• Support the preparation of statutory accounts for both UK and foreign entities, ensuring accuracy and compliance with relevant regulations.
• Aid in the production of tax returns for UK and international entities by gathering data, preparing documentation, and liaising with external advisors as needed.
• Assist with international payroll processes and benefits reporting to ensure timely submissions across multiple jurisdictions.
• Contribute to international sales tax reporting by compiling information from various sources and maintaining up-to-date records for audit purposes.
• Help complete and submit statistical reports such as ONS returns promptly to meet regulatory deadlines.
• Provide support during month-end close activities for non-trading entities by reconciling accounts and preparing necessary journal entries.
• Assist with global research and development (R&D) tax claims by collecting supporting evidence and coordinating with internal stakeholders.
• Participate in group audits by preparing schedules, responding to auditor queries, and ensuring all requested information is available.
• Engage in ad hoc projects that may arise as the company continues to grow and evolve its business needs.
• Collaborate closely with colleagues across finance functions to share knowledge, improve processes, and foster a positive team atmosphere.

What you bring

• You are fully qualified or part qualified (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent) with at least 5 years’ experience gained either in practice or within a busy finance function for a global company.
• Your background includes hands-on exposure to all areas of modern finance teams including statutory accounting, tax compliance, payroll processing, audit support, and process improvement initiatives.
• You have direct experience working with US entities; familiarity with US tax requirements is highly desirable for this role.
• You possess consolidation experience which enables you to manage complex group structures efficiently; this skill is considered advantageous but not essential.
• Your understanding of IFRS standards and UK tax legislation is thorough enough to ensure accurate reporting across multiple jurisdictions.
• You are comfortable operating within high-growth SaaS or technology-driven environments where priorities can shift quickly as business needs evolve.
• Your communication skills are excellent - both written and verbal and you thrive when working collaboratively within hybrid or remote teams.
• You have practical experience using accounting systems such as Sage (or similar), CRM tools, and advanced Excel functionality for data analysis.
• You understand the unique dynamics of SME organisations and appreciate how your work impacts overall business performance at every level.
• Your time management abilities are well developed; you remain organised under pressure while showing enthusiasm for learning new skills and progressing your career.

What sets this company apart

This business offers an inclusive, collaborative culture where people are supported, ideas are valued, and development is actively encouraged. It combines global reach with a flat, non-bureaucratic structure, alongside strong benefits and a genuine commitment to wellbeing, diversity and long-term career growth.
