Group Management Accountant

Fractile is building the compute infrastructure that the next generation of AI needs. Our hardware and chip engineering teams are solving some of the hardest problems in the industry, and our Finance function is the backbone that keeps everything moving. We're a team of around 90 people across London, Bristol, and San Francisco, and we're growing fast.

This is a great opportunity for a newly or recently qualified accountant (ACA) who wants to get under the bonnet of a high-growth tech business, own meaningful work from day one, and build out their technical finance skills in a genuinely interesting environment.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, you will own the production of monthly management accounts for the group and take ownership of the finance systems that feed into them. Alongside that core remit, you will be actively involved in the day-to-day running of the finance function and have meaningful scope to grow into FP&A: budget vs. actuals, cashflow forecasting, and management reporting for the leadership team and board.

This is a role for someone early in their post-qualification career who wants exposure to the full breadth of a group finance function in a high-growth deep-tech business not a narrow specialist seat. You will work closely with the FC, the wider finance team, and cross-functional stakeholders across engineering, operations, procurement, and people.

What You’ll Do

Group Management Accounts (Core Remit)

• Own the production of monthly management accounts for the group, including consolidation across UK, Taiwan, and US entities
• Manage intercompany reconciliations, multi-currency translation, and elimination entries
• Own the month-end close timetable, including accruals, prepayments, fixed asset accounting, and balance sheet reconciliations
• Apply FRS 102 technical treatments across fixed assets, leases (ROU), capitalisation policy, and revenue as the business evolves

Finance Systems Ownership

• Take ownership of the finance systems landscape, Xero across entities today, with a NetSuite migration planned within the next few months
• Maintain the integrity of the chart of accounts, tracking categories, and reporting hierarchies across all entities
• Play an active role in the NetSuite implementation, including data migration, configuration decisions, and reporting design
• Identify and deliver automation opportunities across the finance stack to reduce manual effort and improve close speed

Management Reporting & FP&A (Growth Scope)

• Build and maintain the budget vs. actuals process, including variance analysis and narrative commentary for budget holders
• Support rolling cashflow forecasting and rephasing, particularly important in a pre-revenue scaling context
• Produce spend reports and dashboards for budget holders across engineering, operations, and the executive team

Day-to-Day Finance Operations

• Be actively involved in the running of the finance function, including oversight of the AP cycle, payment runs, and supplier queries
• Assist with R&D tax credit claims and other UK statutory compliance
• Document and continuously improve finance processes. We are building the function as we grow, and your fingerprints will be on it

Who we are looking for

Essential

• ACA qualified (newly or recently qualified), ideally trained at a Big 4 or top-10 practice firm. ACCA or CIMA is considered, where the technical and audit grounding is equivalent.
• Strong technical accounting foundation, confident applying FRS 102 (or IFRS) in practice
• Experience producing or auditing monthly management accounts in a group structure
• Solid Excel skills, comfortable building models, reconciliations, and analysis from scratch
• Hands-on experience with at least one ERP or accounting system (Xero, NetSuite, SAP, or similar)
• High ownership mentality, happy to roll up sleeves and get involved in anything the function needs
• Genuine ambition and a clear desire to grow with the role and the business
• Clear communicator who can translate finance for non-finance stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Audit or industry exposure to product, hardware, semiconductor, deep-tech, or manufacturing businesses
• Experience with group consolidations across multiple entities and currencies
• Involvement in an ERP implementation or migration (NetSuite particularly relevant)
• Familiarity with R&D tax credit claims or other UK innovation incentives
• Exposure to a venture-backed or pre-revenue scaling environment
• Experience supporting an FP&A or commercial finance workstream

Why Join Us?

• A genuine opportunity to shape the people foundations of a growing tech business.
• A supportive, ambitious and thoughtful team.
• Room to grow as the company scales.
