In 1999 a high-level concierge service was founded in a basement apartment in Notting Hill. In the decades since, the business has evolved into an international full-service agency that has earned itself a globally recognised track record of delivering some of the most impactful and innovative experiences around for clients such as LinkedIn, Gong and VeeFriends. We have great ambitions and are proud of everything we’ve built since our basement apartment days, but we’re still growing, and for our next phase, we need you!
what you’ll be doing
We’re going through an exciting period of growth, helping clients across the world bring their stories to life through the power of events, and we’re looking for a Senior Finance Manager to come on board and help support the financial team.
This role will involve leading the Finance Team, providing support across all areas, including reporting and processes, to ensure that the organisation and the delivery of its work can continue to run effectively and efficiently as we scale.
what you’ll need
For this role, you’ll need a deep understanding of financial principles and revenue recognition standards. You’ll be tasked with the adoption and monitoring of financial reporting standards across the group, ensuring accounting policies, controls and procedures are reviewed and updated to facilitate seamless adoption and ongoing control.
You will be producing ad hoc reports and analyses based on business requirements so a high level of detail is a must. This will include prompt and accurate month-end reporting, monthly prepayments and accruals for revenue and direct costs, reviewing balance sheet and P&L reconciliations with precision, and improving the systems and procedures, to maintain a reliable and consistent reporting & control environment.
In this role, you’ll be assisting in the onboarding of new entities, including cost identification and information capture. You’ll need to liaise with functional departments both at the entity and group level (ensuring all information is captured) and manage the statutory audit process, preparing supporting schedules, and resolving audit queries, therefore excellent communication and organisation skills are vital.
what you’ll get
The chance to be part of a fast-growing, award-winning global events agency that encourages their team to have autonomy over their role, enabling you to bring new ideas to the table, develop your role into exactly what you want it to be and receive support whilst doing it.
In addition to that, in return for everything you bring, we will provide the following:
With events happening in incredible locations across the globe, there are plenty of opportunities to travel. Previous locations include New York, Miami, San Francisco, Mexico City, São Paulo, Singapore, Dubai, Ibiza, Barcelona, Paris, Hvar and more!
We have typical hours of 10 am – 6 pm but due to the nature of the events industry, we offer a flexible approach to this. Want to work different hours? You can. Need to pop out for an appointment? You can. You just need to let your manager know!
A great company culture provides more than just lip service—and we make sure we’re always doing that by regularly investing in it. Not just offering you a job and a warm welcome, but creating opportunities for you to build a fulfilling career. We do this by investing in your development, whether personal or professional, providing accessible leadership, and hosting numerous team socials. Including Christmas and Summer parties you’ll actually want to attend—with previous overnight stays at venues such as the Wilderness Reserve, Four Seasons and Artists Residence.
We work remotely most of the time, but have one day a week where we meet in our (dog-friendly!) Soho Works office so we can connect and catch up. When you’re not in the office, you can work from anywhere: your home, your garden, abroad — and we’ll set you up with the equipment to do so, including an Apple MacBook, mouse, laptop stand and second screen.
At emc3, we have a dedicated learning and development budget allocated to each person so that they can learn and grow in their role. And when it comes to progression, you’ll have the opportunity to level: up, down or sideways! Whether you’re looking to progress further in a current role or change departments—where possible, we’ll always support you with the transition.
In addition to unlimited paid time off for mental health, we provide free access to therapy, counselling and mental health resources for all of our employees.
We believe everybody should do their bit, and so offer one paid day off a year so that you can help out in your local community.
We care about the impact events and our business have on the environment and have a sustainability team to ensure we follow best practices to make our events as environmentally friendly as possible.
