We’re looking for an experienced and hands-on Accounting Manager (EMEA) to own the regional finance function. This is a critical role where you’ll ensure the integrity of our financial reporting, maintain statutory compliance in the UK and Ireland, and drive improvements to our processes and controls.
You’ll work closely with colleagues in the US and across EMEA, partnering with Sales, HR, and external advisors, while also supporting the integration of newly acquired companies into our systems.

- Keep our books in shape – manage and reconcile the general ledger in line with UK/Irish accounting standards (FRS 102, Irish GAAP), prepare journals and reconciliations, oversee cash management, and ensure statutory filings (Companies House / CRO) are always on time.
- Be our go-to for reporting – deliver monthly management accounts and reports, provide variance analysis, and support budgeting and forecasting cycles across multiple entities and currencies, including intercompany reconciliations and consolidations.

- Help us scale smarter – strengthen financial controls, document processes, and recommend improvements to make our systems and reporting more efficient.
- Enable growth initiatives – provide accounting expertise during acquisitions, integrations, and system migrations, ensuring we stay compliant while moving fast.
- Work globally, impact locally – collaborate with the US-based finance team and regional stakeholders to align EMEA operations with global procedures while building structure in a growing region.
Requirements
- ACA / ACCA / CIMA (or equivalent) qualified accountant.
- 4+ years of accounting experience, ideally with regional or international exposure.
- Strong knowledge of UK GAAP / FRS 102 (Irish GAAP experience a plus).
- Proven track record in cash management, general ledger ownership, and VAT compliance .
- Hands-on experience preparing statutory filings, payroll submissions, and working with external auditors/advisors.
- Skilled with ERP/accounting systems (Xero or Intact strongly preferred) and advanced Excel.
- Excellent communicator, able to work confidently with stakeholders at all levels — from sales leaders to external advisors.
- Comfortable building structure and processes from the ground up in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment.
- Highly autonomous, proactive, and adaptable — able to juggle multiple priorities and thrive with limited day-to-day direction.
Nice to Have
- SaaS or subscription-based business experience.
- Familiarity with Salesforce.
- Experience working with US-based finance teams.
- Exposure to intercompany reconciliations and consolidations.
Benefits
- Opportunity to build and shape the EMEA finance function during an exciting growth phase.
