Summary A really exciting role working with an AI start up company that expects the best and supports the best. Yes, you will own the finance function end-to-end but you will also get stuck into HR, legal, and operational matters, working directly alongside a Founding Partner as a true right-hand support. We are looking for a unicorn: someone with serious finance foundations who is hungry to learn, naturally curious, and excited by the idea of growing into something much broader. Why This Role Exists We need to bring our finance function in-house and start thinking more strategically about how it supports the rest of the business. We need someone who can own the numbers, produce meaningful management information, and then lift their head up and get involved in the wider operational life of a fast-moving, PE-backed AI consultancy. This is a rare opportunity to get in early at a company with serious momentum and grow with it. What You Will Do Finance • Own the full month-end process including journal entries, reconciliations, accruals & prepayments, • Lead budgeting, forecasting, and financial modelling, • Produce management accounts and financial reports that actually tell a story, • Support the Senior Value Partner on a broad range of operational and administrative matters, • Assist with HR processes including onboarding, contracts, and employee records, • Help manage legal and compliance matters, • Get involved in whatever needs doing; this is a startup and no two weeks look the same What We Are Looking For Experience and Skills • At least 4 years of experience in a finance analyst or similar role, ideally within a startup or scale-up environment, • Strong working knowledge of UK accounting standards and practices, • Confident with financial modelling, budgeting and management reporting, • Proficient in Excel; experience with accounting software Xero is a must;, • AI Native; you have immersed yourself in AI tools and use them daily to work smarter. You do not wait to be told; you experiment and find better ways, • Self-managing; you are comfortable working independently in a remote environment without someone looking over your shoulder, • Curious and hungry; you want to learn things outside your lane and you see every problem as an opportunity to grow, • Commercially aware; you understand that strong client outcomes drive sustainable growth, and you connect your work to that bigger picture, • Culturally aligned; you believe in the responsible use of AI and you share our commitment to using technology as a force for good, • High Agency; In a startup or consulting context, it's a highly valued trait because the environment is ambiguous by nature; no one is going to hand you a perfect brief, and the people who thrive are the ones who fill gaps rather than wait for them to be filled for them. Why work with us? In it from the beginning We are an early-stage company backed by significant investment, building a new category in AI consulting. We have strong market traction, ambitious clients, and real momentum. Joining now means you will help shape what this company becomes. Growth & Development Your curiosity drives our success. We invest in learning that matters; technical skills, strategic thinking, whatever helps you grow. We have regular conversations about where you are headed and we create the space for you to get there. Moral Compass We are committed to the responsible use of AI to advance humanity and narrow the AI divide. We choose responsible optimism: engaging with AI to shape better outcomes, with transparency, purpose and shared benefit at the centre of everything we do. Flexible Working Work from wherever works best for you. We trust you to manage your time and we care about outcomes, not office attendance. All we ask is that you are available during UK business hours and that you stay genuinely connected to the team.
