Description
Maven is a market-leading proprietary trading firm deploying its own capital across discretionary, systematic, and market-making strategies. Backed by deep expertise in trading, technology, and research, we are relentlessly focused on improving liquidity across global listed derivatives.

As a Group Accountant, you’ll join a high-performing UK-based finance team within a fast-paced trading organisation. This is a key control and reporting role with excellent exposure to how the business operates end-to-end. You’ll take ownership of balance sheet integrity across a portfolio of group entities, support the close process, and play a key role in delivering statutory reporting (including consolidated accounts). You’ll partner with teams across the firm to strengthen controls, improve processes, and support high-impact finance projects

- Stay up to date with IFRS developments, assessing impact and supporting implementation across the group
- Assist with the completion and submission of regulatory returns where applicable, while keeping up to date with the evolving regulatory landscape, assessing potential impacts on the business, and supporting any required changes to reporting processes or controls.
- Support tax compliance and reporting by providing accurate schedules, reconciliations, and supporting documentation to internal stakeholders and/or external tax advisers
- Lead automation and the effective utilisation of AI tools to improve reporting quality, streamline reconciliations, support variance analysis and commentary, and increase efficiency—while ensuring appropriate review and controls are maintained
- Maintain and improve financial controls, including process documentation and continuous improvement of key control checks
- Review work prepared by others (where applicable), providing quality assurance, guidance, and informal coaching to support high standards across the team
- Identify, recommend, and implement process improvements to strengthen financial controls, reduce risk, and improve scalability
- Contribute to ad hoc projects and cross-functional initiatives as required
