About the Role
We are hiring a Financial Accountant to join the Finance team at Flipdish. This is a key role supporting a high-performing finance function in a fast-moving, multi-entity environment. You will take ownership of defined month-end workstreams, strengthen financial control, and help improve how we close, reconcile, and report as the business scales.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys a mix of technical accounting, operational finance, and practical process improvement, with the support of an experienced team.
What You Will Do
- Own defined month-end close activities across one or more entities, ensuring journals, schedules, and reconciliations are completed accurately and on time.
- Prepare and maintain balance sheet reconciliations and supporting documentation, and contribute to month-end review commentary where required.
- Support group reporting requirements, including consolidation preparation and intercompany processes (depending on the close cycle and priorities).
- Assist with audit and statutory processes, including preparing supporting files, responding to queries, and helping build high-quality year-end packs.
- Support compliance activities across tax, regulatory, and statutory filings, including preparation of information and first drafts where appropriate.
- Help review, document, and improve finance policies, procedures, and internal controls to ensure they remain robust and scalable.
- Contribute to improving finance systems and workflows, including automation of recurring close tasks and support for future tooling/ERP improvements.
- Partner with colleagues across Finance and the wider business to resolve queries efficiently and to continuously improve the quality of financial information.
- Provide analysis and insights that support cost management and good decision-making, including variance analysis and investigation of unusual movements.
- Support ad hoc projects as needed, including preparation of information for grants or other finance submissions.
Working pattern: Hybrid, with 2 days per week in our Sandyford office
Candidate Profile
What we are looking for:
- Newly qualified or recently qualified ACA/ACCA (or equivalent relevant experience in industry).

- Highly organised, with a track record of following through and raising issues early when something looks off.
- Strong attention to detail and pride in producing accurate, well-supported work.
- Clear communicator and collaborative team player who works well across functions.
- Proficient in Google Workspace, particularly Google Sheets.
What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days
