General Accountant

General Accountant

Reporting to: VP of Accounting

Location: London, Hybrid

Type: Full-time

About the Company

We build and operate large-scale GPU compute infrastructure designed to power AI workloads, working in partnership with leading institutional capital providers and lenders. As a capital-intensive business scaling at pace, strong financial governance, disciplined cash management, and operational excellence are not optional – they are foundational to success.

This is a rare opportunity to join a company vertically integrating power, data centres, and compute at hyperscale – helping build the financial backbone of a business defining an entirely new industrial category.

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on General Accountant to join our growing finance team. This is an ideal role for an ambitious early-career accountant – part-qualified or actively studying – who wants real ownership, real exposure, and a steep growth curve in a fast-scaling business.

Working closely with the VP of Accounting and our Financial Accountant, you will support the day-to-day running of the finance function, contribute to a clean and timely monthly close, and play a hands-on role in building processes that will scale with the business.

This is not a back-office role. You will be in the room as we build the finance function from first principles – and the work you do will directly shape how we operate.

Key Responsibilities

Month-End Close Support

• Support the execution of the monthly financial close under the direction of the Financial Accountant
• Prepare standard journal entries including accruals, prepayments, and recurring entries
• Assist with payroll, intercompany, and FX postings
• Maintain a clean, well-documented audit trail across all postings

Reconciliations & Ledger Hygiene

• Prepare bank reconciliations and resolve reconciling items in a timely manner
• Prepare balance sheet reconciliations for review (cash, prepayments, accruals, fixed assets, other payables and receivables)
• Prepare roll-forwards of key reporting lines
• Investigate and clear aged or unreconciled items in the general ledger
• Maintain the chart of accounts and ensure consistent coding across the business

Transactional & Operational Support

• Support accounts payable and accounts receivable activities, including approvals and audit trail
• Support the fixed asset register, including additions, disposals, and depreciation runs
• Assist with VAT returns and other routine compliance filings
• Support cash management activities including daily cash positioning and payment runs

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Assist in the preparation of monthly reporting packs and variance commentary
• Support external audit by preparing schedules, samples, and supporting documentation
• Contribute to process improvements, automation, and ERP optimisation as the finance function scales
• Help document accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls

Requirements

• Part-qualified or actively studying towards ACA, ACCA, or CIMA
• 1–3 years of accounting experience in industry or practice
• Solid understanding of double-entry bookkeeping and core accounting concepts
• Experience with month-end close activities (journals, accruals, reconciliations)
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to work
• Good Excel skills (lookups, pivots, basic data manipulation)
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities
• Strong communication skills and a willingness to ask questions and learn

Nice to Have

• Experience with cloud ERPs (NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct)
• Exposure to multi-entity or multi-currency accounting
• Experience in a high-growth, startup, or scale-up environment
• Exposure to infrastructure, energy, construction, or other asset-heavy businesses
• Some exposure to IFRS

What Makes This Role Different

• Build, not maintain: Help create processes and controls from scratch as the finance function scales
• Accelerated learning: Direct mentorship from a qualified Financial Accountant and the VP of Accounting
• Real exposure: Work on transactions and processes that, in most companies, junior accountants never get near
• Career runway: Clear path to qualification and progression as the team grows around you
• Low bureaucracy: Fast decision-making, clear accountability, and a team that gets things done
