Management Accountant

Help us build the finance function of the future.

At Spark, we believe finance should do more than process transactions and produce reports.

We are on a journey to create a smarter, more efficient finance function by embracing technology, automation and artificial intelligence. We are looking for someone to help us make that happen.

This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of our day-to-day finance operations while helping transform the way finance supports the business. As routine tasks become automated, you will have the opportunity to spend more time providing insight, improving processes and developing into a Finance Business Partner.

You do not need to be an artificial intelligence expert. We are looking for someone who is curious, enjoys finding better ways of working and is excited by how technology can improve finance.

The Role:

Reporting to the Finance Director, you will play a key role in managing operational finance across our United Kingdom and international entities, ensuring everything runs smoothly while helping us continuously improve the

way we work.

Key Responsibilities:

Own day-to-day finance operations across our United Kingdom and

international entities.

Support monthly reporting, including balance sheet reconciliations and

maintaining strong financial controls.

• Manage accounts payable, payroll, expenses, cash flow and banking.
• Build positive relationships with colleagues, suppliers and external partners.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, automate manual tasks and

increase efficiency.

Work closely with the Finance Director to modernise our finance function

and drive continuous improvement.

Where This Role Is Different. We are not looking for someone who simply keeps things ticking over. We are looking for someone who enjoys asking questions like:

• "Can this be automated?"
• "Is there a better way of doing this?"
• "How can we make finance more efficient?"
• "How can finance add more value to the business?"

Working alongside the Finance Director, you will play a key role in streamlining processes, embracing automation and helping transform the way finance supports the business. As the role evolves, you will spend less time processing transactions and more time analysing data, supporting decision-making and partnering with stakeholders across the business.

Who You Are

At Spark, our values shape how we work together and how we support our clients. We are looking for someone who shares these values:

Care - You take pride in your work, care about getting the details right and build trusted relationships with colleagues, customers and suppliers.

Curiosity - You enjoy learning, asking questions and exploring new ways of working. You are interested in how technology, automation and artificial intelligence can make finance better.

Creativity - You do not just accept the status quo. You enjoy finding smarter, simpler ways to solve problems and improve processes.

Collaboration - You work well with others, communicate openly and enjoy partnering with teams across the business to achieve shared goals.

Commitment - You take ownership, follow through on your responsibilities and are motivated to deliver high-quality work, even when priorities change.

Catalyst - You are someone who helps make positive change happen. You embrace new ideas, champion continuous improvement and enjoy turning ideas into practical solutions that make a real difference.

Whether you are qualified, part-qualified or qualified by experience, if this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

About You!

We are more interested in attitude than ticking every box.

You will ideally have:

Experience in an operational finance, Finance Manager or Management

Accountant role.

Strong Excel skills and experience working with enterprise resource

planning systems (NetSuite experience is an advantage).

• Excellent organisational and communication skills.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Why Join Spark?

This is not just another finance role.

You will have the opportunity to help modernise our finance function, work on artificial intelligence and automation projects, and develop into a true Finance Business Partner as the role evolves.
