Full job description

Management Accountant |B2B SaaS Startup | London, Hybrid


The Client


Harmonic is delighted to be exclusively partnering with a B2B SaaS start-up that has grown their top tier customer base 8x in the last year, with a clear target to double it again by the end of next year. Having closed multiple funding rounds in quick succession, the business is well-capitalised and growing fast, with further investment expected on the horizon.
The finance function is intentionally lean: this hire will work directly with the senior finance leader and take on meaningful ownership from day one, with a clear path to accelerating their career in a short period of time.


The Role


Reporting directly into the VP Finance (who is a strong mentor and committed to investing in this person’s development), the Management Accountant will own core accounting and billing operations across a three-entity structure spanning the UK and multiple US states.
Day-to-day, this means preparing consolidated management accounts, overseeing outsourced bookkeeping (UK and US), managing complex usage-based billing reconciliation, and owning AP/AR and compliance processes. The business operates in an AI-first way and welcomes new thinking on process and tooling: this is a role for someone who enjoys building and improving, not just maintaining.
Longer-term, there is genuine scope to own the entire finance function as the company continues to scale.


Key Responsibilities


*Prepare and consolidate monthly management accounts across three legal entities (UK and multiple US states)
*Perform monthly billing reconciliation across usage-based data, third-party invoices, and internal reporting
*Oversee outsourced bookkeeping providers in both the UK and US, with the option to bring processes in-house over time
*Own AP/AR processes, including invoicing, monitoring outstanding balances and collections
*Manage intercompany transactions across the multi-entity structure
*Support quarterly and annual compliance and tax filings across UK and US jurisdictions, including multi-state US filings
*Identify process inefficiencies and rebuild workflows, including through AI and tooling where appropriate
*Contribute to month-end close, including journal preparation, reconciliations and source data validation


Essential Experience


*Newly qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA/AAT) or near-qualified with strong momentum towards completion
*0-2 years of post-qualification experience, or equivalent in a comparable role
*Background in a B2B SaaS or technology business, or in practice with a strong technology client portfolio
*Comfortable operating with autonomy in a small team, with the ability to build processes rather than inherit them
*Strong analytical skills with the ability to manage and interpret complex data sets


Desirable Experience


*Exposure to multi-entity or multi-jurisdiction accounting structures, particularly UK and US
*Experience with Xero or comparable accounting software
*Familiarity with billing systems or usage-based revenue models


Salary: £50,000-£55,000 + equity
Location: London (Farringdon), hybrid (2-3 days in office per week)
Start Date: Flexible; preference for 1 month notice, open to longer for the right candidate
