About Thomas

At Thomas, we imagine a world of limitless human potential — where people thrive through self-awareness and authentic connection.

For over 45 years, we’ve been pioneers in talent assessment. But now, we’re transforming. We’re evolving from a trusted assessment provider into a disruptive AI-powered people science platform, uniting behavioural insight, data and technology to revolutionise how people and teams work together.

Our new Connection Intelligence (CXI) platform is redefining collaboration — helping organisations unlock intelligent team profiling, behaviour comparison and personalised growth at scale.

We’re shaping a new era of workplace intelligence.

Job Purpose

Thomas is a PE-backed SaaS business operating across the UK, Europe, Australia and South Africa.

We’re looking for a hands-on Accountant to sit at the heart of our month-end. You’ll own accounts payable, deliver accurate close for your areas and help us find better, simpler ways of working.

Reporting to our Finance Business Partner, you’ll be part of a collaborative finance team spanning the UK and South Africa.

What you’ll be doing

• Delivering month-end close: Preparing accurate, timely journals, accruals and prepayments for your areas, in line with the close timetable.
• Owning balance sheet reconciliations: Preparing and maintaining reconciliations, with a focus on assets such as bank, fixed assets, prepayments and intercompany.
• Owning accounts payable: Taking ownership of AP and supplier payments, with colleagues supporting day-to-day transactions.
• Supporting sales invoicing: Helping with sales invoicing and recording payments.
• Supporting audit and statutory reporting: Playing your part in the year-end audit and statutory reporting process.
• Finding efficiencies: Simplifying and standardising processes, reducing manual work and supporting automation.

Requirements

What we’re looking for

• A qualified or close-to-qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA).
• Solid experience of month-end, balance sheet reconciliations and accounts payable.
• Strong attention to detail and good Excel skills.
• Organised and proactive, taking ownership of your areas and following things through.
• Confident using AI and new technology to work smarter and improve the quality of your work, with good judgement about data, risk and accuracy.
• Comfortable working with colleagues across time zones, as our finance team works across the UK and South Africa.

Experience with a cloud ERP such as NetSuite is an advantage, but not essential.

Why this role?

This is a genuinely hands-on role where your work matters every month. You’ll own a core part of our close, have a clear remit to improve how we work, and help shape more efficient, automated finance processes in a growing SaaS business.
