Sound like you? Keep reading.
At Semble, we are on a mission to enable health professionals to amplify their impact. We improve the way healthcare is delivered to millions of people by providing doctors and their teams with powerful, innovative, intuitive, and secure software. Our cloud-based clinical system is already used by thousands of clinicians, making their lives easier and saving them money, while structuring their health data to help research.
We are a passionate and driven team, proud to unite under strong cultural drivers:
- Impact - We do work that matters.
- Collaboration – We are in it together.
- Human touch – We care deeply.
We are also quick to embrace new technologies: we have rapidly adopted AI internally, and we are always looking to work with people who are excited to augment their work with AI.
This role can be fully remote in the UK (with occasional travel to our London office). We are unfortunately not able to consider candidates outside these locations at this stage.
This is a 12 month fixed-term contract position covering a period of maternity leave. This role sits within the Finance team and reports into the Financial Controller (FC) and CFO.

- Own Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable end-to-end, developing and maintaining the processes and systems that keep these running smoothly (with guidance from the FC).
- Partner with the Sales team to ensure revenue is invoiced correctly and cash is collected on time — including direct communication with customers around queries and payments.
- Support the FC in closing month-end.
- Own some month end processes, Accruals, Prepayments & Reconciliations
- Report and analyse categories within the P&L to the FC
- Prepare payroll journals and balance sheet reconciliations
- Contribute to accurate and consistent bookkeeping across both our UK and French entities.
- Asist with the year end audit.
- Bring curiosity and a willingness to evolve in the role — we welcome your ideas and encourage you to explore how new tools and technology can improve the way we work.
