[Hiring] Senior Finance Analyst @Ably

Role Description

As Ably continues to scale, we're looking for a sharp, ambitious Senior Finance Analyst to join our Finance team. This is a deliberately broad, high-exposure role for a recently qualified accountant making their first move from practice into industry; someone who wants to do far more than close the books.

• Run the delivery engine across the finance reporting cycle.
• Own the hands-on production work behind month-end - journals, consolidation and first-draft management accounts - alongside billing, invoicing and payment approvals, and support revenue recognition and investor and bank reporting.
• Take full ownership of expenses and credit control, own the delivery of billing and invoicing, and oversee the Bookkeeper's day-to-day transactional work.
• Design and build automations across your delivery areas, develop AI-enabled finance processes, and own the outcomes of what you ship.
• Support a set of delegated cost centres and budget holders, helping them stay within budget and get the most from their spend.
• Prepare the schedules and underlying data behind UK and US tax compliance, and be a key point of contact through the annual audit.

Qualifications

• Big 4 auditing, and a professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, or equivalent).
• High attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills and the ability to identify opportunities for improvement.
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and adapt to changing priorities.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• An eye for process improvement and effectiveness.

Requirements

• Demonstrable experience in efficiency-focused mindset.

Benefits

• A remote-first and flexible work environment.
• Equity through our EMI share options programme.
• Enhanced holiday allowance of 28 days of paid annual leave.
• Enhanced parental leave package.
• Home workstation budget of £500 on joining and £150 p/a thereafter.
• Personal learning and development budget of £1000 annually, and 5% L&D time during working hours.
• Private healthcare with BUPA.
• Medical cash plan to cover a range of medical and dental costs.
• Mental wellbeing coaching and counselling from Self Space.
• Monthly wellbeing budget via Juno.
• Life assurance and income protection.
• Access to Tech & Cycle to Work schemes.
• Weekly snack allowance for our end-of-week “Need To Know” meeting.
• A fully-paid one-month sabbatical after five years with Ably.
