Behind the product is a finance function that needs to be as fast and reliable as the platform itself.

We're hiring an Assistant Accountant to own the accounting engine of the finance team: the ledger, the month-end close, and the admin that keeps both clean. Our day-to-day transaction processing is supported by an outsourced bookkeeping partner. You'll own the quality of that work, the reconciliations behind it, and everything between a receipt landing and a number reaching the board pack.

Everything else in finance, reporting, forecasting and investor diligence depends on the ledger being right. You'll make sure it is: reviewing what goes in, reconciling what comes out, and closing the month on time. About a quarter of the role is finance admin. It means running the invoice inbox, chasing receipts and keeping supplier records clean, and it's what keeps the numbers right.

Ledger and close

• Review and own the ledger in Xero, including our outsourced bookkeepers' work on coding, supplier bills and daily bank reconciliations across GBP, USD and EUR accounts

• Prepare month-end journals, accruals and prepayments, and the balance sheet reconciliations behind them, so we close by working day 5 with our Finance Manager

• Keep intercompany balances with our US entity reconciled

• Reconcile payroll, PAYE and pension control accounts to Rippling each month

• Prepare the UK VAT return in Xero for review

• Prepare year-end schedules and answer queries from our external accountants and auditors

Finance admin and communication

• Run the invoice inbox, logging, chasing and routing supplier invoices so nothing reaches the ledger without a document

• Chase receipts and missing context from colleagues for card spend, and keep receipt compliance high

• Maintain supplier records and support onboarding, including verifying bank details before anything is paid

• Be the first point of contact for finance questions from the wider team

• 2 to 4 years in a finance team or accounting practice, with at least one month-end close owned end to end

• AAT qualified, or studying towards or part-qualified in ACCA, CIMA or ACA. We'll support your studies

• Confident in Xero or similar cloud accounting software, and comfortable with large data sets in Excel or Google Sheets

• Experience with multi-currency reconciliations and high transaction volumes

• Clear, friendly written communication. You'll chase people across the company and keep it pleasant

• Fintech, marketplace or payments experience is a strong plus

• A fully reconciled balance sheet gives you real satisfaction

• You chase people for answers instead of waiting

• You see the admin as part of getting the numbers right, not a distraction from it

• You're comfortable in a startup where things move fast around you, even if your work is methodical

• You want to grow into a management accountant or financial controller role as the team scales

• You want to work only on the numbers and see chasing colleagues for receipts as beneath the role

• You need heavy supervision or detailed instructions for every task

• You're not comfortable working with high transaction volumes daily

• Sunday Times Best Places to Work, two years running. We don't just say we have great culture, we prove it

• Your work has immediate, visible impact. When the books are clean, the whole company moves faster, leadership gets reliable numbers, and investor conversations go smoothly

• A clear path to grow, with study support and room to step up as the finance team expands

• Fanvue supports hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans globally. The problems you solve here are real and immediate

• Fully remote with unlimited PTO, flexible working hours, a London office and WeWork access when you want it

• Salary reviews every six months, we don't wait for annual cycles to recognise your growth

• Travel and office budgets for team off-sites or kitting out your home setup

• A benefits package we're actively building out, including gym memberships and apps

• A culture built on innovation, speed, excellence, ownership and transparency

We know that diverse teams build better products. Even if you do not meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply. Potential, mindset, and ambition matter just as much as experience.
