This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting or finance graduate seeking to develop hands-on experience across transactional accounting and the monthly close, with a clear path to progress into a broader accounting role over time. You will work closely with our Finance Manager and CFO, building strong accounting foundations while supporting a growing international business. You'll start with the fundamentals - accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations and journals - and, as your confidence grows and the team develops, there will be opportunities to take on more across the month-end close and financial reporting. Above all, we are looking for someone genuinely curious about how a finance function operates - someone who seeks to understand the reasoning behind their work, takes pride in accuracy, and is confident raising questions and suggesting improvements rather than simply waiting for direction. **What You'll Do - Day to Day** This is the core of the role and where you'll spend most of your time, supporting financial operations across our four entities (UK, USA, Singapore, and Canada): •   Managing accounts payable - coding supplier invoices to the correct nominal and entity, routing them for approval through Omnea, and helping to process payments on time •   Managing accounts receivable - raising customer invoices accurately and on time, and helping to chase overdue accounts •   Performing daily bank reconciliations across multiple currencies (GBP, USD, EUR, SGD), investigating and resolving discrepancies •   Processing employee expenses via Spendesk & Deel, ensuring spend is correctly coded, supported, and approved •   Posting journals and maintaining accurate, well-organised financial records •   Keeping customer and supplier data current, reconciled, and auditable, and providing weekly AR and AP inputs for cash flow forecasting •   Responding promptly to billing and supplier payment queries and escalating issues where appropriate. Supporting the Month-End Close Each month you'll take on a defined set of close tasks, completing them accurately and to deadline while building your understanding of the full process: •   Assisting month-end balance sheet reconciliations under review - starting with bank, AR, and AP, and building toward more complex balances over time •   Helping to maintain prepayment and accrual schedules - posting monthly releases and raising AP accruals for invoices not yet received •   Supporting the preparation of monthly P&L and balance sheet reporting, helping to investigate unexpected items and assisting with variance analysis. •   Completing your assigned month-end tasks accurately and on schedule. ## Requirements **What we're looking for** •   An accounting or finance graduate with 0–2 years' experience in a finance role •   Studying, or planning to study, towards ACA, ACCA, or CIMA •   Strong attention to detail and a genuine commitment to accuracy. •   Well organised and dependable, able to manage competing priorities and deliver to deadline. •   A clear communicator who is comfortable asking questions and collaborating with others. •   Comfortable managing your own workload in a fully remote environment.  **What makes you a great fit** In our remote-first environment, attitude matters as much as technical skill. The people who thrive here: •   Demonstrate radical responsibility by taking ownership of their work and following through on commitments. •   Are naturally curious, asking thoughtful questions to understand the "why" behind the numbers, not just the "how." •   Proactively identify opportunities to improve processes and support the wider global finance team. •   Embrace learning and new challenges, taking on increasing responsibility as they grow. Tyk operates a culture of radical responsibility. You'll be trusted with real ownership from the start - and given the support and guidance to make the most of it. ## Benefits **Here’s why you should join us:** - Everyone has unlimited paid holidays.  - We have total flexibility in hours, as we believe creativity flows better when our people are given freedom to decide when they are most productive.
