We are looking for an Accountant to join our London team supporting both our local and global accounting operations.

You’ll work alongside team members to maintain the company’s internal books and records and help with our month-end close process. This will include the preparation of various reconciliations and financial schedules as we prepare financial statements.

The legal and regulatory environment in which we operate is constantly shifting. Your previous industry expertise will be valuable to the team as we collaborate with outside auditors and advisors on accounting policy decisions and relevant GAAP interpretations.
