Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they’ve learned to improve productivity and measurable performance.\nIn April 2026, we announced $70 million in strategic funding, led by Schroders Capital, with participation from StepStone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. At an increased valuation of $2.1bn, the round makes us Europe’s first EdTech double unicorn.\nBut we aren’t stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We’re building a world where tech skills unlock people’s potential and output.\nJoin Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era.\nAs we grow, the finance function has to keep pace: fast, accurate, and increasingly automated. You'll drive the month end close, build and maintain a high bar for internal control, and support the preparation of our statutory financial statements and annual audit completion. As you grow in the role, the ambition is for you to also take ownership of group consolidation and become the financial reporting engine of the business.\nSpecifically, you will be responsible for:\nReporting, Close and Consolidation\nOwn the month end and year end close against the group close calendar, preparing journals, accruals and prepayments, completing balance sheet reconciliations and delivering the reporting pack, with hands-on support while you build up to running it independently.\n\nSupport group consolidation across our entities, including intercompany reconciliations, eliminations and FX.\n\nTechnical Accounting\nSupport technical accounting assessments, ad hoc finance projects and the development of group accounting policies (for example leases and share based payments), helping prepare papers and notes on judgemental areas and complex transactions.\n\nStatutory Reporting and Audit\nManage the PBC list and audit request tracker, and support the wider external audit process, maintaining auditor relationships and contributing to remediation of any audit findings.\n\nSupport preparation of the UK statutory financial statements and, alongside external advisors, compliance across our other jurisdictions.\n\nControls, Systems and Process\nOwn process improvement and automation across the function, documenting changes as you build them and using AI and modern workflow tools, including NetSuite, to speed up the close and find efficiencies.\n\nSupport the group's financial controls and risk framework (RCM): help document key controls, carry out testing, identify gaps, and put together remediation plans.\n\nAbout you\nYou're a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with 1-2 years of PQE and a solid grounding in financial reporting and controls, built through practice, industry or a multi-entity environment. The exact route matters less than the instinct for clean, well controlled numbers.\n\nYou treat financial processes as products, not just tasks: when you spot a control gap or a messy reconciliation, you dig into why it happened and build a scalable solution, not just patch it once and move on.\n\nYou're comfortable getting hands-on with close and consolidation work, journals, reconciliations, intercompany eliminations and FX, across multiple entities and jurisdictions, and you can move quickly without cutting corners on control.\n\nYou communicate clearly and build trust easily with auditors, external advisors and internal stakeholders.\n\nYou're curious about how automation or AI can make a financial process faster or more reliable, and NetSuite experience (or a comparable ERP) means you can get going quickly.\n\nYou're highly adaptable with a strong willingness to learn. You see tasks outside of your job description as an opportunity to expand your skillset and tackle them head on.\n\nWe know not every strong candidate will tick every box. If this role sounds like the right fit, we'd encourage you to apply.\n\nBenefits\nTime off - 27 days holiday, plus 5 additional days off: 1 life event day, 2 volunteer days, 2 company-wide wellbeing days (M-Powered Weekend) and 8 bank holidays per year\n\nHealth & Wellness - private medical Insurance with Bupa, a medical cashback scheme, life insurance, gym membership & wellness resources through Wellhub and access to Spill - all in one mental health support\n\nHybrid work offering - for most roles we collaborate in the office three days per week with the exception of Coaches and Instructors who collaborate in the office once a month\n\nWork-from-anywhere scheme - you'll have the opportunity to work from anywhere, up to 10 days per year\n\nSpace to connect: Beyond the desk, we make time for weekly catch-ups, seasonal celebrations, and have a kitchen that’s always stocked!\n\nOur Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion\nWe’re an equal opportunities employer. And proud of it. Every applicant and employee is afforded the same opportunities regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, or veteran status. This will never change. Read our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion policy here.\nOur Commitment to Safeguarding\nMultiverse is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our learners. We expect all employees to share this commitment and adhere to our Safeguarding Policy, our Prevent Policy and all other Multiverse company policies. Successful applicants will be required to undertake at least a Basic check via the Disclosure Barring Service (DBS).\nFor roles that will involve a Regulated Activity, successful applicants must also undergo an Enhanced DBS check, including a Children’s Barred List check and a Prohibition Order check. Roles involving Regulated Activity may interact with vulnerable groups, therefore are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 meaning applicants are required to declare any convictions, cautions, reprimands, and final warnings.\nProviding false information is an offence and could result in the application being rejected or summary dismissal if the applicant has been selected, and possible referral to the police and the DBS.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6483,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Gym membership","Health insurance","Hybrid work","Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Vocational Education","Corporate Training"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-14T10:08:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":43,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.788,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":48,"expected_fill_days":46,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/multiverse-senior-financial-accountant","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/multiverse-senior-financial-accountant.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T13:58:02Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19034,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5192},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5192"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmultiverse-senior-financial-accountant"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmultiverse-senior-financial-accountant"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmultiverse-senior-financial-accountant"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/multiverse-senior-financial-accountant\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmultiverse-senior-financial-accountant"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":897317}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"multiverse.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":897317},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
