Job Description

Day to day Work:

The day to day work will be split into 2 parts. Accountancy will account for roughly 70-80% of the role. This will involve providing Accountancy Services (Book-keeping (which you will contribute to on a day to day basis), Taxation (Corporation & Sales), Payroll, Valuation, EMI Option, R&D Tax Return) to SMEs alongside our CFO & CEO. You will be involved in winning new business via sales meetings and in the ongoing interactions with existing customers. The other 20-30% will involve working with our Software Engineering, Product & Growth Teams to design & build software products that modernise & automate the entire finance stack of a modern company. We will be providing these tools to our Accountancy Service clients and will also provide these to larger customers who we are co-developing the tools with.

The Company & Culture:

We are a small, hard-working team of 4 people at the moment. Our first venture together was acquired in 2022. Having been exposed to the challenges of existing financial software & existing SME accountants, we wanted to revolutionise both experiences to make running, operating & managing a business far easier. We are well-funded but the hardest period of a start-up is always the first couple of years, when the team is small, and you are heavily relied on personally. But this also exposes you to the most interesting period of a company's lifecycle and also the period where you can learn the most & earn the most material rewards. You won't be expected to work evenings & weekends, but you will be expected to work hard when on the job.
