Management Accountant

About us:

Wifinity was founded in 2007 to solve a problem—our armed forces were struggling with reliable connectivity. While living in barracks, often in remote locations, ordering a landline and booking in an engineer just wasn’t an option.

And that problem isn’t exclusive to the military, either. Students living in University accommodation, families visiting holiday resorts, or living in shared accommodation and retirement communities.

Conventional home broadband doesn’t always work for them.

Wifinity is different. We offer the same benefits as traditional broadband, such as super-fast speeds, WiFi, and secure and private networks, but none of the downsides. We even offer Pay As You Go and flexible contracts, so customers only pay for what they need without hefty penalties or long contract terms.

We take the complexity out of connectivity.

The Opportunity:

In this role, you will play a key part in delivering accurate and timely financial reporting, with responsibility for monthly management accounts, revenue recognition and balance sheet control.

You will provide clear insight into financial performance, explain key variances and work with stakeholders across the business to understand commercial and operational drivers.

You will also support the annual external audit and help strengthen finance processes, controls, systems and reporting.
