London SW1 | Circa £55,000 | Permanent | 5 Days Office Based
Start: End of September 2026

An exciting opportunity for an experienced SME Accountant / Finance Manager to join an established specialist business operating within a prestigious, high-value market.

This is a broad, hands-on finance role combining accounting, month-end, AML/KYC, VAT and compliance with exposure to high-value transactions and specialist royalty payments.

The Role

You will take ownership of a varied finance workload including:
* Day-to-day accounting through to month-end close
* General ledger, reconciliations, supplier invoices and expenses
* Customer invoicing and client/supplier settlements
* AML, KYC, risk assessments and compliance documentation

Experience working for an organisation selling prestige, luxury or other high-value products where royalty payments are applicable is highly desirable, but not essential. Experience within art, auctions, galleries or similar specialist markets would also be advantageous.

Sector-specific training will be provided, so the priority is finding someone with the accounting expertise, AML knowledge and SME mindset to make an immediate impact.
