We're an AI-powered, creator-first platform helping creators connect, engage, and earn directly from their audiences at scale. Following our recent Series A, Fanvue has surpassed $200m+ in annual recurring revenue, with triple-digit year-on-year growth, supporting hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans worldwide.

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

🎯 The Role

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.

🚀 What You'll Do

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

👀 Who You Are
  • 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

✨ You'll Thrive Here If
  • 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'll Struggle Here If
  • 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

🌍 Why Join Fanvue?
  • 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
