We are looking for a Senior Accountant to join our finance team and play a key role in keeping the agency's financial engine running smoothly.

Reporting to the Finance Director, you will work closely with both Finance and the Business teams to ensure that revenue, costs and reporting are accurate, timely and compliant. In a fast-moving agency environment, you will be the steady hand behind the numbers - balancing commercial awareness with financial discipline.

You won't just be closing books. You'll be partnering teams, safeguarding processes, and ensuring that what we deliver creatively is matched by rigour behind the scenes.

  • Work closely with business teams to ensure commercial discipline across projects.

Accounts Receivable
  • Liaise with the accounts team to ensure accurate and timely billing.
  • Issue invoices and credit notes to clients and intercompany.
  • Prepare statements of account and post receipt journals for payments received.

Accounts Payable
  • Set up and maintain vendor records in the system.

  • Reconcile out-of-pocket (OOP) costs and payment schedules with account teams.
  • Review payment requests and ensure client funds are received prior to vendor payments where applicable.
  • Provide backup support for payment processing.

General Ledger & Month-End
  • Post month-end journals and support the closing process.
  • Prepare balance sheet schedules and ensure reconciliation integrity.
  • Liaise with intercompany counterparts on monthly out-of-balance variances.

Reporting & Analysis
  • Prepare monthly flash reports and pre-close files.
  • Perform variance analysis and support detailed income file preparation.
  • Update TM1 data and support management reporting requirements.

Tax & Compliance
  • Collect and reconcile monthly output and input tax data.
  • Prepare and file GST/VAT and withholding tax declarations (where applicable).
  • Support statutory and internal audit processes with accurate documentation.
  • Implement, monitor and enforce financial policies and procedures.

Ad Hoc
  • Participate in weekly finance meetings.
  • Conduct financial analysis or one-off reviews as required by Management or business teams.

Our Ideal Candidate
  • You have solid experience in accounting, ideally within an agency or service-basedenvironment.
  • You understand project-based revenue recognition and are commercially aware.
  • You are detail-oriented and highly organised, with strong ownership of deadlines.
  • You are confident working with multiple stakeholders and can communicate clearlywith non-finance teams.
  • You are proficient in accounting systems and Excel (comfortable with reporting andreconciliations).
  • You are either fully qualified or part-qualified (ACCA, CIMA, AAT or equivalent).
  • You take pride in accuracy, process integrity and continuous improvement.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are comfortable balancing routinereporting with ad hoc demands.
