Your First Move from Audit – But Not Into Core Finance?

Recently qualified and know you don’t want to go down the standard financial reporting or audit route?

This PE-backed fintech scale-up is offering something different – a commercially-focused role where you’ll use your technical knowledge to influence decisions, shape strategy, and communicate directly with clients and external stakeholders.

What’s on offer:

• £55,000 to £65,000 basic + Benefits + Future share options
• A direct line to the CEO and senior leadership team
• Exposure to private equity, complex restructures, and real-time business decision making
• A cash-rich, profitable business with ambitious growth plans
• Hybrid working 3 days in, 2 days from home
• Based just outside the city centre with parking

What you’ll do:

• Collaborate with the operations team to help clients build and present financial data packs
• Analyse financial structures and support clients on PE investments, restructuring, and reorganisations
• Provide insight for trade and work closely with external stakeholders and other financial institutions
• Present financial information to internal and external stakeholders in a clear, commercial way
• Support due diligence work and ensure compliance with accounting standards

What they’re looking for:

• ACA or ACCA qualified (within the last 2–3 years), ideally from a Top 25 firm
• Strong technical grounding, but with a commercial mindset and entrepreneurial drive
• Comfortable interpreting financial data, spotting opportunities, and asking the right questions
• Confident communicator – someone who can engage clients and explain the numbers
• Experience or interest in PE or restructuring is a bonus
