Description
We are Wiser, a global, award-winning Employer Brand agency.
We build employer brands to guide the best in the biz into their dream career with our clients.
We’re a home for people who think big and expect more. We transform a company’s employer brand internally and externally and change cultures from the ground up.
With creative, strategic and early talent experts in-house, our clients have a single partnership with Wiser and we deliver end to end campaigns helping them to attract and retain the best talent globally.
We believe that people will do their best work when they're in a space that enables it. And that's what we've shaped at Wiser - a culture where everyone can be real and back themselves, surrounded by high performers who take ownership of their career and make moves, no matter what their background.
To find out more about us, take a look at our website wearewiser.com
or check us out on Instagram @wearewiser.
What's this role all about?
This is a pivotal hire for Wiser. As Management Accountant, you'll be the operational engine of our finance function, the person who keeps the numbers accurate, the processes tight, and the team informed. You'll work closely with our Head of Finance to ensure month-end runs like clockwork, our P&L and balance sheet are always in good shape, and our people know exactly who to turn to when they have a finance question.
You'll manage our outsourced accounting team based in Sri Lanka, who handle our month-end reconciliation and bank reconciliation processes. Your job is to own the quality of their output, review their work, and ensure everything lands accurately in our books.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You won't just be executing, you'll be building better ways of doing things and helping shape how finance operates at Wiser as we grow.
