Senior Accountant – IFRS

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential fintech organization seeking a Senior Accountant with deep IFRS expertise to join their Finance team in London. This is a hybrid role offering genuine agency in a high-growth environment where you'll strengthen core accounting execution, audit management, and consolidated financial reporting.

Our client is scaling their financial infrastructure and needs someone excited about leveraging AI and automation to redefine modern accounting processes. You'll be working in an environment where you design processes rather than inherit them, with variety and complexity built into every day.

Responsibilities

• Prepare and post journal entries, perform balance sheet reconciliations, and drive high standards for period close with a focus on quality and speed
• Own the preparation of audit schedules, coordinate responses to audit requests, and drive closure of audit questions to ensure well-documented processes
• Conduct deep analysis of monthly consolidated results, flagging risks, unusual transactions, and key movements while providing decision-ready insights for finance leadership
• Identify accounting risks, implement practical mitigations, and strengthen internal controls to ensure scalable and accurate processes
• Lead audit readiness initiatives to improve year-end execution and documentation standards
• Actively leverage AI tools to improve efficiency and consistency, identifying opportunities to standardize and simplify recurring accounting work
• Collaborate across departments and with external advisors to elevate accounting processes

What We're Looking For

• 6+ years of accounting experience with strong ability to apply IFRS in real-world scenarios
• Comfort working with consolidated results, analyzing variances, and exercising complex accounting estimates and judgments
• Proven experience managing audits end-to-end or acting as primary finance contact for external auditors
• Track record or clear potential of using AI and automation to improve accounting outcomes and efficiency
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-changing environment with an ownership mindset and excellent judgment
• Strong ability to translate complex accounting issues into scalable process improvements and clear insights for stakeholders
• Comfort with variety and changing priorities rather than fixed monthly cycles
• Willingness to work collaboratively with teams outside Finance and external advisors

This role is ideal for candidates who: Want genuine agency at group level, prefer designing processes over executing instructions, and thrive on variety and complexity.

This role may not suit candidates who: Prefer settled environments with fixed processes, need stable day-to-day priorities, or want to remain exclusively within accounting functions.
