Are you looking to impact and be part of something special, such as shaping the future of healthcare? Are you eager to build a well-rounded skill set in a collaborative and forward-thinking environment? Are you keen to build a broad understanding of a Finance department?

Sound like you? Keep reading.

At Semble, we are on a mission to enable health professionals to amplify their impact. We improve the way healthcare is delivered to millions of people by providing doctors and their teams with powerful, innovative, intuitive, and secure software.

Our cloud-based clinical system is already used by thousands of clinicians, making their lives easier and saving them money, while structuring their health data to help research.

We are a passionate and driven team, proud to unite under strong cultural drivers:

• Impact - We do work that matters.
• Collaboration – We are in it together.
• Human touch – We care deeply.

We are also quick to embrace new technologies: we have rapidly adopted AI internally, and we are always looking to work with people who are excited to augment their work with AI.

This role can be fully remote in the UK (with occasional travel to our London office). We are unfortunately not able to consider candidates outside these locations at this stage.

This is a 12 month fixed-term contract position covering a period of maternity leave. This role sits within the Finance team and reports into the Financial Controller (FC) and CFO. You will work closely with the Finance leadership team and the Sales team, as well as with customers directly around billing and payment queries.

What you will be doing

• Alongside the FC and CFO, contribute to building Finance as a trusted function — ensuring the wider business has access to timely, accurate financial information.
• Own Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable end-to-end, developing and maintaining the processes and systems that keep these running smoothly (with guidance from the FC).
• Partner with the Sales team to ensure revenue is invoiced correctly and cash is collected on time — including direct communication with customers around queries and payments.
• Support the FC in closing month-end.
• Own some month end processes, Accruals, Prepayments & Reconciliations
• Report and analyse categories within the P&L to the FC
• Prepare payroll journals and balance sheet reconciliations
• Contribute to accurate and consistent bookkeeping across both our UK and French entities.
• Asist with the year end audit.
• Bring curiosity and a willingness to evolve in the role — we welcome your ideas and encourage you to explore how new tools and technology can improve the way we work.

What we are looking for

We're looking for someone who can hit the ground running — a detail-oriented, well-organised finance professional who is confident working across multiple tasks and comfortable partnering with teams beyond Finance.

Essentials

• Solid accounting and bookkeeping knowledge, including double-entry, ledgers, and journals. Suitable candidates will likely have AAT Level 3 or Part Qualified ACCA/ CIMA.
• Hands-on experience with Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable operations.
• Proficiency in accounting software — Xero experience is particularly relevant.
• Strong communication skills — comfortable engaging with customers directly, as well as with senior internal stakeholders.
• Able to organise information into concise and relevant updates
• High attention to detail and accuracy, with strong organisational and time management skills.
• Confident Excel skills for day-to-day finance tasks.
• Experience in mid sized companies (100 - 500 staff), fast paced or high growth dynamic businesses

Nice to have

• Experience with accounting or bookkeeping for a French entity.
• Proficiency in French (nice-to-have, not mandatory).
• Interest in or experience with incorporating new technology or tools into finance workflows.
• Worked within technology/ SaaS sector

What you’ll get in return

• The great feeling coming with knowing you do something that matters: shaping the future of healthcare!
• Up to £40,000 per annum (based on your experience and the value you bring).
• Professional membership fees – we’ll reimburse your registration and annual membership fees for relevant professional bodies.
• Autonomy and ownership – we’ll set the vision and share the context, then we trust you to run with things – that’s the reason we hire you!
• 36 days off: 25 holidays + bank holidays + 3 extra days (birthday and ‘feel good’ days) - that we will expect you to actually take so you can recharge and rest.
• Comprehensive health & wellbeing support – including private health insurance, and mental health support and free therapy sessions through Oliva.
• Hybrid & flexible work environment – work from anywhere in the UK, with also some flexibility to work across Europe. You decide how much or how little you go to the office.
• Get the tech you need -

You will get the latest MacBook and take your pick across a wide range of equipment to set up your home office ergonomically.

• Work alongside an inspiring team – our two founders have started Semble after a successful startup exit, and your future colleagues are all knowledgeable and innovators in their field.
• Fantastic office space in Central London, right outside Monument - with a roof terrace, weekly animations, loads of natural light, and cute doggies!
• The usual free bits coming with nice offices (barista coffee, tea, fruits, happy hours and activities...).
