Interim Senior Financial Accountant

Your new company
You'll be joining one of London's fastest-growing D2C businesses, widely known as a true scale-up success story. With multi-site expansion and a reputation for innovation, this is a business where finance sits at the heart of strategic decision-making. You'll work directly with a highly successful finance leader with meaningful exposure to senior stakeholders, both C-suite and board. A collaborative culture, entrepreneurial mindset, and commitment to continuous improvement.

Your new role

As a technically strong, audit-trained accountant, you'll play a critical role in strengthening financial control and ensuring high-quality reporting across a complex, fast-moving environment. You will take ownership of statutory accounting, audit support, and key month-end deliverables, while partnering with teams across the business.
Key responsibilities include:

• Leading and supporting the statutory audit process
• Preparing and reviewing financial statements
• Completing monthly balance sheet reconciliations
• Producing accurate cash flow forecasts and cash reporting
• Ensuring compliance with IFRS and UK GAAP
• Supporting multi-site operations with financial insight and robust governance
• Preparing technical papers as required and advising stakeholders on accounting treatments
• Working cross-functionally and presenting to senior leadership, including C-suite/board
• Supporting process improvements and systems optimisation as the business scales

The role offers a hybrid working model, strong flexibility, and a competitive salary. A rare chance to join a brand at a pivotal stage of growth and to develop into broader roles such as Finance Manager or Commercial Finance.

What you'll need to succeed

• ACA qualified/audit-trained essential (relocators with CA ANZ qualifications are strongly encouraged to apply)
• Strong knowledge of IFRS and UK GAAP
• Experience working in fast-paced or multi-site environments (D2C preferable)
• High attention to detail with a hands-on, proactive approach
• Great interpersonal skills and the confidence to work with senior stakeholders
