Full job description

Financial Accountant â General Ledger, Month-End & Financial Controls

Location: Ealing, London (Office-based initially)

Salary: £45,000â£55,000 per annum (depending on experience)

Job Type: Full-time

Alternative Arrangement: We are also open to considering an initial fixed-term appointment (3â6 months) for the right candidate, with the opportunity to transition into a permanent role by mutual agreement, subject to business needs and performance.

About One Money Mail

One Money Mail Ltd is an FCA-authorised Electronic Money Institution providing international payment services. Established in 2004, we combine the stability of an established business with the opportunity to help shape the next stage of our growth.

Serving customers for over 20 years, we continue to invest in our people, systems, governance and financial controls as we strengthen our Finance function.

We are looking for a hands-on Financial Accountant who enjoys improving financial processes, solving problems and taking ownershipânot simply maintaining existing routines.

The Role

Reporting directly to the CEO and working alongside an experienced Fractional Head of Finance, you will take ownership of the Company's General Ledger and play a key role in strengthening the quality, reliability and control of our financial reporting.

This is a practical, hands-on accounting role focused on month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, financial controls and continuous improvement rather than people management.

Key Responsibilities

Own and maintain the General Ledger.
Take ownership of the month-end close process.
Prepare journals, accruals, prepayments and accounting adjustments.
Perform balance sheet reconciliations and investigate reconciling items.
Prepare monthly management accounts and supporting schedules.
Support VAT, statutory reporting and year-end processes.
Prepare audit schedules and support external audits.
Identify and resolve historical accounting issues.
Improve accounting processes, documentation and financial controls.
Work closely with the Finance Operations team to ensure accounting records accurately reflect operational activity.
Support the ongoing development of a scalable Finance function.

Your Initial Priorities

During your initial period with us, you will help to:

Restore confidence in the General Ledger.
Strengthen balance sheet integrity and month-end reporting.
Standardise reconciliation processes and financial controls.
Improve accounting documentation and management reporting.
Support the continued development of a scalable Finance function.

About You

We're looking for someone who has:

A minimum of 5 years' practical accounting experience.
Previous experience as a Financial Accountant, Management Accountant or similar.
Strong General Ledger and month-end experience.
Excellent balance sheet reconciliation skills.
Strong understanding of journals, accruals and prepayments.
Experience preparing monthly management accounts.
Experience supporting external audits.
Strong Excel skills.
Excellent attention to detail.
The ability to work independently, prioritise effectively and take ownership of deliverables.

Nice to Have

Experience with SAP Business One.
Experience within Financial Services or another regulated environment.
Experience improving accounting processes and internal controls.
Experience with Power BI.
AAT Level 4, or studying towards, part-qualified or qualified ACCA, ACA or CIMA.

What We Offer

Salary of £45,000â£55,000, depending on experience.
Discretionary annual performance bonus based on individual and Company performance.
Company Life Insurance (currently providing £100,000 of cover).
Gym Membership.
We support flexible working where appropriate. Hybrid working arrangements may be agreed following successful completion of probation, taking into account business requirements, the nature of the role and individual performance.
Direct exposure to the CEO and senior leadership.
Opportunity to make a genuine impact within an established FCA-authorised Electronic Money Institution.
Opportunity to help shape and strengthen the future Finance function.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to play a key role in strengthening the Finance function of an established FCA-authorised Electronic Money Institution.

Working closely with the CEO and an experienced Fractional Head of Finance, you will help build a robust, well-controlled and scalable finance environment while making a genuine impact on the future of the business.

If you enjoy bringing structure, discipline and confidence to financial records and processes, we'd love to hear from you.
