Management Accountant

Number one on the FT1000, number one on the Sifted 100. From £1m to over £100m in under three years, with a small, talent-dense team and an electric culture with day one founder intensity. Now we're aiming for £1bn in the next three.

We curate the world's best wellbeing brands across The Four Pillars™: EAT, MOVE, MIND, SLEEP. That's the first chapter.

We are moving from one market to many, from e-commerce to a technology platform, and from curating wellbeing to defining it. We are a health company, so we think we should act like one.

At its fullest expression, Healf redefines what wellbeing means for tens of millions of people.

None of that scale happens by instinct alone. Behind the leap from £1m to £100m — and the one we're planning next — sits a finance function that turns ambition into numbers we can stand behind. As Healf moves from e-commerce into a technology platform, the cost base gets bigger, and the decisions get sharper.

This is where you come in.

As Healf scales internationally and operates multiple regions and business

units, disciplined control of operating costs, capital expenditure, and cash-

related balances becomes critical to financial integrity and performance.

This role exists to own the financial control, reporting, and forecasting of

OPEX and CAPEX within management accounts, ensuring costs are accurately

recorded, well understood, and tightly controlled. In parallel, the role acts as a

finance business partner to cost centre owners, supporting planning,

forecasting, and decision-making while maintaining strong control standards.

The Management Accountant – OPEX & CAPEX Control sits firmly within

Financial Control, working closely with Commercial Finance, the People team,

and the Finance Systems & Data Lead to ensure cost and headcount data is

accurate, consistent, and scalable.

• OPEX & CAPEX Financial Control - Own the financial control and reporting of OPEX and CAPEX across all cost centres and functions. Ensure costs are accurately coded, accrued, reviewed, and reflected in management accounts. Maintain robust cost centre structures and enforce consistent application across the business.

• OPEX & CAPEX Planning, Forecasting & Partnering - Own OPEX and CAPEX planning and forecasting at cost centre level, partnering with Commercial Finance to ensure forecasts are grounded in actuals and optimise our capital allocation. Partner with cost centre owners to explain variances, challenge assumptions, and support efficient cost management.

• CAPEX Financial Control & Reporting - Own CAPEX accounting, reporting, and related balance sheet positions, including asset registers, depreciation, and reconciliations. Ensure capital spend is accurately recorded, aligned to approvals, and reflected correctly in management accounts.

• People Cost & Headcount Control - Own financial control and reporting of people costs at cost centre level. Partner with the People team to ensure payroll and headcount data is accurate, controlled, and aligned to management accounts. Provide reliable people cost actuals and forecasts to feed headcount reporting and the forecast owned by Commercial Finance.

• Systems-First Cost Control - Apply a systems-first mindset to OPEX and CAPEX control, prioritising automated posting, accruals, and reporting over manual workarounds. Work closely with the Finance Systems & Data Lead to ensure cost centre structures, planning logic, and reporting are embedded in systems.

• Interface with Commercial Finance - Provide accurate, timely OPEX, CAPEX, and people cost inputs to Commercial Finance. Ensure alignment between management accounts, forecasts, and performance reporting.

This is a role for someone building toward full qualification, not someone who already has all the answers. You'll get real ownership from day one, with study support behind you if you're still finishing your ACCA, CIMA, or ACA.

• Newly qualified, or in the final stages of ACA, ACCA, or CIMA.

• Experience in a similar role and industry, with real ownership of OPEX, CAPEX, or cost centre reporting.

• A solid grounding in accruals and balance sheet control.

• Comfortable partnering with senior stakeholders on cost planning and spend decisions, and confident enough to challenge them.

• Some exposure to people costs and headcount reporting.

• At ease in a fast-growing environment where the systems and processes are still being built, not just followed.

• Experience working with finance systems and data teams to improve control, reporting, and automation.

Big 4 background is not a requirement. What matters is that you've done this before, somewhere with a similar shape to Healf.

• OPEX and CAPEX are accurately reported, controlled, and well understood across the business.

• Clear evidence that this role has proactively driven efficiency across Healf.

• Cost centre reporting is trusted and forms the foundation for planning and decision-making.

• Forecasts are grounded in actuals and require minimal reconciliation.

• CAPEX balances and depreciation are accurate, reconciled, and audit-ready.

• People costs and headcount reporting align cleanly between Finance, People, and Commercial Finance.

• Cost control scales with growth without increased manual intervention.

• Finance is viewed as both a rigorous controller and a constructive partner on cost decisions.

Competitive and meaningful compensation package for the right person. We ask a great deal of the people who work here. We expect full ownership and a genuine commitment to give this chapter everything you have.

In return, we will give you the same: everything we have, invested in your growth, your wellbeing, and the defining skills of the next decade.

We have built the fastest-growing company in Europe with a team small enough that every person in it shapes the outcome. That is still true today. The next person we hire will change the trajectory of the company.
