Senior Financial Accountant

About Us

HeliosX is a health tech company dedicated to improving the quality, accessibility and affordability of healthcare for everyone. Founded in 2013, the HeliosX group began when we saw that whilst many other industries had adopted rapid delivery and pushed for customer convenience, healthcare remained a slow and cumbersome experience. Beginning with MedExpress and growing to include Dermatica, RocketRX, and Ziphealth, the HeliosX group has grown to a team of 200 people helping customers in 9 markets around the world.

The Role

HeliosX is looking to hire a diligent Senior Financial Accountant to take ownership of financial accounting and controllership of our growing multinational group. We are seeking a qualified accountant with at least two years’ post-qualification experience. Reporting directly to the VP Finance, this is a fantastic opportunity for a bright, passionate accountant looking to solidify their transition into mid-sized business controllership.

This is a full time, permanent role. HeliosX is a remote first company, with a heavy weighting toward home working. All we ask is that candidates are based permanently in the UK and happy with occasional travel to our offices in Central London.

• Experience of cash management and treasury operations, including cash flow forecasting.
• Strong working knowledge of SME financial systems and controls frameworks.
• High level of data literacy, with strong Excel/Google Sheets skills.
