Financial Accountant in London Area

Job description

❓❓ Who We Are ❓❓

Autus3 are proud to be partnering exclusively with a not-for-profit retail organisation that does things a little differently. This is a team with deep roots, a clear purpose, and a genuine dedication to creating social value through the work they do every day. As they move into an exciting new chapter of growth and modernisation, they’re looking for a finance professional who wants to do meaningful work while helping shape how the organisation evolves over the next year.

About You

You’re a qualified finance professional with solid experience as a Financial Accountant — someone who doesn’t just keep the wheels turning but actively looks for ways to make things work better.

The ideal candidate would be on a short notice period or immediately available to the market.

Change doesn’t scare you. You’re adaptable, curious, and always scanning for opportunities to simplify, streamline, and strengthen financial processes.

You enjoy being part of the wider organisation, not tucked away in a spreadsheet — you're visible, approachable, and build strong working relationships with ease.

Month-end and year-end processes are familiar territory, and you bring accuracy, clarity, and strong communication skills to everything you do.

Above all, you want a role where your ideas matter — where improving systems and shaping better processes genuinely helps a mission-driven organisation move forward.

What You’ll Be Doing

Working closely with a forward-thinking Financial Controller, you’ll play a central role across a small group of entities. From statutory accounting to elevating the purchase ledger function, you’ll be one of the people helping the organisation move toward more modern, efficient, and automated ways of working.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate statutory accounting records across multiple entities

• Support month-end and year-end activities

• Lead and support the Accounts Payable team

• Contribute to systems upgrades and implementation projects

Process Improvement Focus

• Review existing financial procedures with a critical, curious mindset

• Spot and deliver opportunities for automation and smarter working

• Use your knowledge of modern accounting tools to introduce real, practical improvements

• Bring ideas that tackle long-standing bottlenecks and help move the finance function forward
