This is a high-impact opportunity for a sharp, newly/nearly qualified Accountant to take genuine ownership of the month-end close and management reporting cycle, and to lead the transformation of how the finance function operates through automation, AI-enabled tooling, and smarter systems.

Support scenario and sensitivity modelling as required, particularly in the context of fund launch planning and management company resourcing decisions. Drive improvements to the budgeting and forecasting tools and templates, reducing reliance on manual spreadsheets and improving the speed and accuracy of the planning cycle.

Improve the use of technology in areas such as reconciliations, reporting, expense management, and supplier processes. Partner with internal stakeholders to ensure finance systems support operational and reporting needs effectively.
