A day in the life

We’re looking for a proactive Staff Accountant to join the ManyPets Finance team. You’ll play a key role in strengthening our financial controls, ensuring the accuracy of our balance sheet, and supporting a smooth and reliable month‑end close. Reporting to the Senior Accountant, this is a hands‑on role at the heart of our core finance processes. It’s ideal for someone detail‑oriented, structured, and confident owning reconciliations and controls end‑to‑end. You’ll join a fast‑paced, collaborative, mission‑driven environment where finance is a true partner to the business.

Your Responsibilities

• Own monthly balance sheet reconciliations (AR, AP, payroll, VAT, fixed assets, accruals, prepayments, intercompany) and resolve variance.
• Reconcile brokerage receivable accounts and monitor revenue accruals/deferral.
• Maintain the fixed asset register, post depreciation, and reconcile balance.
• Review and reconcile VAT workings and support preparation of VAT return.
• Prepare and post month‑end journals and review the trial balance for anomalies.
• Support UK CAC, MMA and other management reporting packs.
• Prepare balance sheet audit schedules and provide supporting documentation.

Your Skills and Experience

• ~2–3 years of experience in a financial operations, financial accounting or similar role.
• Part or fully qualified with a recognised accounting body (e.g., ACCA, CIMA, AAT etc.) – we’ll support study if you’re part qualified.
• Strong reconciliation skills and a solid understanding of core balance sheet processes.
• Confident with Excel – able to manage large datasets and build clear, structured working files.
• Highly organised, with strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
• Comfortable working to month‑end deadlines in a fast‑paced environment.
• Hands‑on attitude – willing to dig into details while maintaining robust controls.
• Nice to have – experience with VAT, fixed assets, intercompany, or audit preparation; exposure to insurance or other regulated sectors.

The Interview Process

• Stage 1 – an informal meeting with our Talent team to introduce the role and explore how your experience aligns with what we’re looking for.
• Stage 2 – you’ll meet the Senior Accountant and Group Financial Controller. This stage focuses on your technical skills and problem‑solving approach and may include a short case or practical discussion around balance sheet controls.
• Stage 3 – you’ll meet the CFO to further evaluate your fit for the organisation. It may include a short scenario‑based discussion to understand your judgment and approach to strengthening financial controls.
