About the team

&Open’s Finance Team care about the numbers and are driven by curiosity. We love uncovering useful insights for strategic data-driven decisions which will fuel our rapidly growing business. From accounting and compliance to forecasting and analysis, we proactively support every team within the business and play a key role in achieving our mission.

About the role

We are looking for an Accountant (maternity cover) to join a dynamic and growing business within the Corporate Gifting industry.

We’re expanding our footprint across the globe and this is a great opportunity to work with passionate, creative and driven individuals in a diverse team and hybrid work environment.

This role will collaborate with all teams across the business and report directly to our CFO. This will be the perfect opportunity for a qualified accountant who is eager to take the next step in their career.

You will be an integral part of the finance team and be responsible for month-end reporting as well as working closely with the Accounts Assistants, Finance Manager, Commercial Finance Manager, and CFO as well as other colleagues. This role is perfect for an out-of-the box thinker who has a passion for data and processes to support business scaling and growth. A strong accounting background, skilled in accounting and financial reporting processes, attention to detail, and timely delivery are essential to success in this role.

What you'll do?

Month-End & Reporting

Own the preparation of monthly management accounts, including posting journals, accruals, prepayments, and conducting revenue, gross margin, and cost analysis.

Prepare and reconcile the cash flow statement, balance sheet, and P&L with accuracy, completeness, and timeliness.

Support year-end audit preparation, liaising directly with auditors and providing all required schedules and documentation.

Financial Operations

Review and process sales invoices, purchase orders, and supplier bills.

Manage debtor and creditor reconciliations, collections, and payments.

Oversee intercompany accounting, reconciliations, and settlements.

Tax & Compliance

Prepare and submit VAT/GST returns, VIES, and other statutory filings on time and in full compliance with regulations. Familiarity with US sales tax is desirable.

Maintain robust internal financial controls and ensure adherence to accounting standards (IFRS).

Business Support & Process Improvement

Support the annual budget and monthly forecast processes.

Assist with process improvements and systems enhancements (e.g., ERP implementation).

Partner with non-finance teams to provide clear, actionable business insights.

What you'll need

ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or CPA qualified, with strong technical accounting experience covering month-end close, reconciliations, VAT returns, and management reporting.

Track record of working independently and taking ownership of established processes with minimal supervision.

Proficient in Google Workspace (Google Sheets), Microsoft Excel, and ideally cloud-based accounting and ERP systems (e.g., Xero, Sage, Odoo, Dynamics).

Solid understanding of VAT, corporate tax, and other statutory requirements.

Experience in high-paced, dynamic environments — preference for VC-backed scale-ups or companies undergoing transformation.

Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.

Strong interpersonal and communication skills, capable of translating finance into clear terms for non-finance colleagues.

Available to start on 15th October 2025.

- Hybrid Working Model
- Company Pension
- Exciting experience in a fast-paced start-up environment
