Salary:
Our expected range to hire within is £45-50k.

The Role:
This is a hands-on role at the heart of a lean finance team at Work.Life. You'll own the month-end close and management accounts, support site-level and board reporting, and partner with operations and leadership to turn the numbers into decisions – on pricing, occupancy, costs and new sites.

It suits someone who enjoys both the challenge of a tight month-end and the commercial conversations that follow it.

What You’ll Do:

Month-end and management accounts:

• Own the monthly close to a tight timetable, including accruals, prepayments, deferred income and balance sheet reconciliations

• Own the monthly management accounts, with clear commentary on performance against budget, forecast and prior year

• Produce site-by-site P&Ls and contribution analysis across the portfolio

• Maintain the fixed asset register, including fit-out capex and depreciation

• Account for leases and landlord arrangements correctly (FRS 102 / IFRS 16 as applicable), including management agreements and revenue-share deals

Reporting and KPIs:;

Contribute to the KPI pack: occupancy, revenue per desk / sq ft, membership revenue, churn, meeting room and ancillary income, and site margins.
Help build and improve dashboards and reporting so the business can self-serve key metrics.
Help prepare board and investor reporting packs for the Finance Director / Finance Controller.
Budgeting, forecasting and planning.
Support the annual budget process, working with site and operations managers.
Help maintain the rolling and cash flow forecasts.
Support new-site appraisals and business cases with financial modelling and post-investment reviews.

Business partnering:

Partner with operations, sales and community teams – explaining variances and helping them take action.
Analyse pricing, discounting and cost-to-serve to protect and improve margins.
Challenge spend and identify cost savings across utilities, cleaning, facilities and suppliers.

Controls and systems:

Own and strengthen financial controls, processes and month-end efficiency.
Prepare the year-end audit file and support statutory accounts preparation.
Prepare VAT returns and support other compliance as required
Contribute to systems improvements and automation across the finance stack.
Support B Corp impact reporting where finance data is needed.

About You:
Essential:

CIMA, ACCA or ACA qualified, or a finalist.
[2–4] years' experience in management accounting, ideally in a multi-site business..
Strong month-end experience, including balance sheet reconciliations and full management accounts.
Advanced Excel – comfortable building models, lookups and pivots.
Clear communicator who can explain numbers to non-finance colleagues.
Organised, accurate and able to hit deadlines.

Desirable:

Experience in flexible workspace, real estate, hospitality or another multi-site, recurring-revenue business.
Knowledge of lease accounting (FRS 102 / IFRS 16).
Experience with NetSuite.
Confident using AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT to speed up analysis and reporting.
Experience in a scale-up or PE / investor-backed environment.

Personal qualities:

Commercially curious – asks \"why\" behind the numbers
Proactive about improving processes, not just running them
Collaborative and approachable, in keeping with our people-first culture
Comfortable with pace and change in a growing business
