About The Role
Volta is a pre-revenue AI infrastructure company scaling rapidly across five countries after a major Series A. Our finance team is small, senior and hands-on - and we need a strong all-round accountant to keep the core running as volume grows.
As General Accountant you will handle the day-to-day accounting across our entities: processing, journals, reconciliations, VAT and month-end tasks, currently in Xero and soon in a group ERP. You will work directly with the VP Accounting and SSC Reporting Manager, with genuine exposure to everything from multi-currency banking to equity accounting.
This is an ideal role for someone early in their career who wants breadth, responsibility and a front-row seat to a finance function being built for a US listing.

Process supplier invoices, employee expenses and payment runs across group entities, applying the PO and approval policy
Post journals for accruals, prepayments, payroll and intercompany, with supporting documentation
Prepare balance sheet reconciliations (bank, AP, payroll, deposits) to monthly deadlines
Support UK VAT returns and assist with overseas VAT compliance (Germany, Norway, Spain)
Maintain the fixed asset and prepayments registers, including capitalization under group policy
Assist with the month-end close checklist and entity reporting packs
Support external audit requests with clean, well-referenced evidence
Help migrate data and processes from Xero to the new group ERP
What You Bring
Part-qualified accountant (ACCA/CIMA/ACA) actively studying, or equivalent experience; study support provided
2+ years in an accounting role covering AP, journals and reconciliations
Solid double-entry fundamentals and genuine attention to detail
Strong Excel skills (lookups, pivots; more is a bonus)
Experience with Xero or a comparable ledger system; multi-currency exposure helpful
Organized and reliable against fixed deadlines, with clear written communication
Curiosity and willingness to take on unfamiliar tasks in a fast-changing environment
REQ-24
Competitive salary based on the work you do here, not your previous salary
