About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Maintain a high standard of ledger integrity in Xero, reviewing coding and treatment across the business and resolving issues as they arise
Take ownership of key technical accounting areas: accruals, prepayments, payroll journals and balance sheet reconciliations
Oversee AP and payment processes, including royalty schedules — making sure things run cleanly and on schedule
Support regulatory and compliance obligations: VAT returns, corporation tax inputs, R&D claims, share-based payment accounting and intercompany positions
Support year-end close and audit preparation, working alongside the Head of Finance and external auditors
Feed into the budgeting and reforecasting cycles — building and maintaining the supporting models, schedules and workings that underpin the plan
Develop and maintain KPI and metric reporting, ensuring consistency across B2B and DTC revenue streams
Contribute to board and leadership reporting with clear financial analysis and commentary
Proactively surface trends, risks and opportunities in the numbers before they become surprises
Partner with the RevOps function to build and maintain dashboards and reports tracking revenue performance, pipeline health, and commercial metrics
Work with the Data team to extract, clean, and analyse datasets — translating raw data into clear financial and commercial insight
Support subscriber metrics, cohort analysis and attribution modelling relevant to our subscription business
Identify and lead initiatives to automate or improve finance and reporting processes — from close workflows to data pipelines between Stripe, HubSpot and Xero
Act as a finance-literate partner to non-finance stakeholders who need data to make decisions quickly

Fully qualified or part-qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), with solid hands-on experience in management accounting and month-end close
Analytically strong with a genuine appetite for data — comfortable working with large datasets, BI tools, or SQL, and not just pulling pre-built reports

Comfortable managing a direct report and holding them accountable for the quality of BAU outputs
An excellent communicator — able to translate complex financial and data outputs into clear narratives for non-finance audiences
Comfortable prioritising across a mixed workload of close responsibilities and project work, without one crowding out the other
Highly proficient with Excel or Google Sheets; familiar with Xero or a similar cloud accounting platform
