Senior Accountant

About Us

At Sedulo we are building a world class team to deliver our mission to make positive change in the communities we work in. We do this by:

• Working with our clients to transform their business and personal finances
• Connecting and contributing to the business community in the cities we are located in
• Working with charities by fundraising and influencing change both now and in the future through the Sedulo Foundation
• Being a great place to work and develop your career

We offer a full range of services from the inception of the business concept, throughout growth of the entity and on to exit strategies. There is no typical clientele; we work with start-ups through to multinational, listed companies.

Sedulo is based in Manchester (Head Office), Leeds, London and Liverpool with ambitions to grow further. The London practice opened in 2018 and since then has grown rapidly, boasting an exciting client base made up of well known media personalities and actors, cutting edge restaurants, arts organisations, political parties, museums and many more.

The Role

We are looking for a strong manager with a practice background, which includes management of a portfolio of clients with multiple business interests and investments. As this role will primarily involve management of high profile/household name sportspeople, musicians and actors we are looking for an outgoing and confident management accountant with experience of producing, simplifying and clearly communicating complex financial information.

The successful applicant will have the autonomy to shape their own career within a tight-knit, non-traditional, start-up type environment, but with the support and guidance of the wider High Growth and Compliance teams of a top 50 firm.
