Group Reporting Accountant in London

Job description

We're supporting an investment company focused on advancing research into new treatments, in their search for a Group Accountant to join their high-performing finance team in central London. This role offers the opportunity to work within a fast-growing, regulated investment business, supporting high-quality financial reporting while helping to evolve systems, processes, and controls as the organisation scales.

This role will suit someone who enjoys operating in a complex, regulated environment - someone who is technically strong, detail-oriented, and motivated by taking ownership and driving continuous improvement.

Reporting to the Group Accounting and Reporting Manager, you'll play a key role in delivering accurate and timely financial reporting across the group, while supporting audit, valuation, and regulatory requirements.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting the production of the Annual Report, Interim accounts, and Quarterly reporting, including liaison with Investor Relations

• Acting as the primary point of contact for the external audit

• Assisting with the preparation of statutory accounts across group entities

• Preparing monthly NAV and management accounts

• Supporting Board and Audit Committee reporting

• Preparing valuation materials and liaising with external valuation advisers

• Drafting accounting memos where required

• Processing invoices, payroll, accruals, and prepayments

• Supporting FCA regulatory compliance and reporting

• Strengthening controls and improving finance processes

• Assisting with treasury activities, including cashflow forecasting and liquidity management

• Supporting ad hoc projects as required
  
  

We're looking for a chartered accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with a strong technical accounting foundation and a proactive, hands-on approach.

You'll bring:

• 2-4 years' post-qualified experience, ideally Big 4 trained

• Strong experience across IFRS and UK GAAP

• Excellent attention to detail and technical capability

• Strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial data

• The ability to build effective stakeholder relationships

• A continuous improvement mindset and strong communication skills

Experience in venture capital, private equity, listed companies, or life sciences would be advantageous but is not essential.

• Long-term contract role within a FTSE 250 listed investment company

• Central London location

• Opportunity to join a high-calibre, entrepreneurial finance team

• Exposure to complex group reporting, valuation, and regulated environments

• Clear scope for the role to grow in responsibility over time

If you're a technically strong accountant looking to build your career in a fast-growing, purpose-driven investment business, we'd love to hear from you.
