Lead Group Accountant

With teams and legal entities across the UK, the Czech Republic, Portugal, and the US, we’re scaling rapidly, and our finance team is growing in tandem with us. We’re not just keeping the books, we’re building the systems and processes that will support Ventrata for years to come, including streamlining accounting and reporting and rolling out a new ERP system (Sage Intacct) in partnership with a top accounting firm.

We’re looking for a Senior Accountant who wants more than routine accounting. You’ll dive into technical accounting across our international entities while helping enhance processes and workflows to make daily accounting and reporting smoother. This hands-on role gives you exposure to group reporting, consolidation, and audits, working closely with the Controller and external advisors. You’ll have plenty of room to learn, take ownership, and grow as the company scales.

This role is a fit for someone who wants to go beyond transactional accounting, is ready to dig into the details, optimize accounting processes, and help build a finance team that can scale with the business.

Accounting Operations & Policy Compliance:

• Prepare, review, and post month-end accruals and prepayments, ensuring all timing differences are properly captured and supported with documentation;
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies in the general ledger, identifying root causes and proposing corrective entries to maintain clean financial records;
• Handle accounting across multiple countries, including local GAAP compliance, intercompany reconciliations, and foreign currency considerations;
• Develop and enforce accounting policies and procedures across the group, including journal entries, reconciliations, and reporting accuracy;
• Work hands-on with our ERP system Sage Intacct, supporting process improvements and contributing to system optimization.
  

Financial Reporting & Consolidation:

• Perform intercompany reconciliations and resolve discrepancies to ensure smooth consolidation across all entities;
• Support the preparation of management reports, including KPIs, P&L analysis, and BS movements. 
  

Budgeting, Forecasting & Financial Analysis:

• Collect, validate, and analyze financial data across multiple entities, departments, and teams to support budgets and forecasts;
• Support consolidation of individual entity budgets into a group-level forecast, ensuring accuracy and consistency;
• Conduct ad hoc financial analyses to support the Controller and management, providing insights for decision-making.
  

Compliance & Audit:

• Collaborate with the Controller and external auditors to facilitate the audits by preparing schedules, reconciliations, and documentation, and providing explanations of financial balances and processes;
• Support the preparation of tax-related schedules, VAT reconciliations, and statutory filings across multiple entities, ensuring compliance with local regulations and UK GAAP;
• Ensure adherence to tax laws, statutory reporting requirements, and internal policies across all entities;
• Review and update internal controls to maintain audit readiness and compliance with UK GAAP and local accounting standards.

• Degree in Economics, Accounting, Finance, or related field

• 5+ years of accounting experience, ideally in a group / multi-entity environment
• Strong hands-on experience with month-end close, accruals, prepayments, and balance sheet reconciliations
• Solid working knowledge of IFRS
• Experience with intercompany accounting and group reporting
• Experience supporting audits and statutory reporting
• Strong Excel skills and fluent English

• Professional accounting qualification or progress toward one (ACCA, ACA, CIMA, CPA)
• UK GAAP exposure or understanding is a strong advantage.
• Experience working with multiple countries (UK, EU, US)

• We are fairly informal about working hours. We want to make sure you like your job and wanna go the extra mile for us;
• Unlimited paid holiday days;
• Start-up working environment;
• WFH or work remotely;
• Team buildings and company remote office. Sounds boring? The whole team met in Spain, South Africa, Italy, Portugal, and France. We also enjoy a spontaneous beer after work or any sports activity;
• Office in Brno and Lisbon. We have two office locations: the core team is located in Brno and we have one newly opened office in Lisbon. How does working for a month from Lisbon sound? :)
• Young and passionate team;
• Refreshments and delicious coffee in the office area;
• Hardware/remote setup package;
• Competitive salary and regular salary revaluation;
• Bonuses based on company performance.
