The Role

We're hiring an Assistant Accountant to own the accounting engine of the finance team: the ledger, the month-end close, and the admin that keeps both clean. Our day-to-day transaction processing is supported by an outsourced bookkeeping partner. You'll own the quality of that work, the reconciliations behind it, and everything between a receipt landing and a number reaching the board pack.

Everything else in finance, reporting, forecasting and investor diligence depends on the ledger being right. You'll make sure it is: reviewing what goes in, reconciling what comes out, and closing the month on time. About a quarter of the role is finance admin. It means running the invoice inbox, chasing receipts and keeping supplier records clean, and it's what keeps the numbers right.

What You'll Do

• Ledger and close

• Review and own the ledger in Xero, including our outsourced bookkeepers' work on coding, supplier bills and daily bank reconciliations across GBP, USD and EUR accounts

• Prepare month-end journals, accruals and prepayments, and the balance sheet reconciliations behind them, so we close by working day 5 with our Finance Manager

• Keep intercompany balances with our US entity reconciled

• Reconcile payroll, PAYE and pension control accounts to Rippling each month

• Prepare the UK VAT return in Xero for review

• Prepare year-end schedules and answer queries from our external accountants and auditors

• Finance admin and communication

• Run the invoice inbox, logging, chasing and routing supplier invoices so nothing reaches the ledger without a document

• Chase receipts and missing context from colleagues for card spend, and keep receipt compliance high

• Maintain supplier records and support onboarding, including verifying bank details before anything is paid

• Be the first point of contact for finance questions from the wider team

• Who You Are

• 2 to 4 years in a finance team or accounting practice, with at least one month-end close owned end to end

• AAT qualified, or studying towards or part-qualified in ACCA, CIMA or ACA. We'll support your studies

• Confident in Xero or similar cloud accounting software, and comfortable with large data sets in Excel or Google Sheets

• Experience with multi-currency reconciliations and high transaction volumes

• Clear, friendly written communication. You'll chase people across the company and keep it pleasant

• Fintech, marketplace or payments experience is a strong plus

• You'll Thrive Here If

• A fully reconciled balance sheet gives you real satisfaction

• You chase people for answers instead of waiting

• You see the admin as part of getting the numbers right, not a distraction from it

• You're comfortable in a startup where things move fast around you, even if your work is methodical

• You want to grow into a management accountant or financial controller role as the team scales

• You'll Struggle Here If

• You want to work only on the numbers and see chasing colleagues for receipts as beneath the role

• You need heavy supervision or detailed instructions for every task

• You're not comfortable working with high transaction volumes daily

• Why Join Fanvue?

• Sunday Times Best Places to Work, two years running. We don't just say we have great culture, we prove it

• Your work has immediate, visible impact. When the books are clean, the whole company moves faster, leadership gets reliable numbers, and investor conversations go smoothly

• Fanvue supports hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans globally. The problems you solve here are real and immediate

• Fully remote with unlimited PTO, flexible working hours, a London office and WeWork access when you want it

• Salary reviews every six months, we don't wait for annual cycles to recognise your growth
