Finance and Administration Manager

Having a team of top developers is awesome, but in order to be successful, every company also needs efficient administrators and financial boffins.

We are therefore looking for someone to join the TweetDeck team to help keep the financial cogs turning, while also providing HR and general office support for our rapidly-expanding team.

What you need

  • Extensive accounting and finance experience
  • Be comfortable with the tasks detailed below.

What you'll be doing

  • Maintaining the general ledger and trial balance
  • Preparing monthly financial reports and projections for circulation to Company management and investors
  • Preparing cheques for payment of monthly invoices
  • Posting cash receipts and cash disbursements

  • Day-to-day operation of the office, including:
    • Negotiation with vendors and other parties
    • Day-to-day administration and HR functions.

What would be great

  • It would be very helpful if you had some exposure to US accounting principles, and some experience constructing basic financial models.

And the rest

  • This is not a clerical or PA position, however part of the fun of working for a startup is that everyone is expected to pitch in from time to time on whatever comes up!
  • The position will be based in our Central London office and will report to the CEO, with a "dotted line" report to the EVP Business Operations, who is based in New York.
