We’re on a mission to make migration easy.
We started building Marshmallow in 2017. Since then, we’ve grown from 3 to 700+ people, gained unicorn status, raised ~£140M over
three funding rounds, turned profitable, insured millions of drivers and lent millions in car loans.
But we’re only just getting started. Our goal is to become one of the largest financial services providers in the world. Over the
next 10 years we’ll grow exponentially, not only by scaling our existing products, but also by building new ones.
To achieve our goals we need incredibly ambitious, commercially driven people who never settle for ‘good enough’. Marshmallowers
are hungry for autonomy and ownership, and would rather improve than coast. Everyone raises standards and has an impact, with a
focus on collective success over self-interest.
We’ve created an environment where curious, tenacious people win and grow together. If that sounds motivating, this could be the
place for you.
About the role
This is a senior individual contributor role and the Controllership team's primary technical accounting expert. You will own the
most complex and judgement-intensive accounting areas across the Group — spanning the UK insurance broker, claims handling, car
finance and its associated SPV structure, and the Group holding company — and act as the go-to resource for the team, business
stakeholders, and external auditors on technical accounting matters.
You will work with a high degree of autonomy, reporting directly to the Group Financial Controller. You are expected to solve
complex problems independently, document and defend accounting positions to audit standard, coach more junior colleagues, and
communicate clearly to senior stakeholders across Finance and the wider business. This role sits at the heart of the Group's
effort to close legacy accounting gaps, maintain audit readiness, and build controls that scale as Marshmallow grows.

TL;DR: This is not a back-office accounting role. You'll own key parts of our close and reporting processes at a critical moment in Conduct's growth — helping us build a financial foundation that's accurate, audit-ready, and actually useful for decision-making. Real ownership, real impact, from day one. WHY CONDUCT We believe the world's largest companies should move at the speed of their ideas, not the speed of the decade-old systems they run on. Today they don't. Every process change, every new product line runs into SAP systems layered with decades of custom code and complexity no human mind can fully comprehend. New requirements take months to ship, system migrations cost $100M+ and years of pain. We're building the AI operating system that absorbs this complexity and gives enterprises back their speed and ambition. Major enterprises already trust us with their most critical systems, we've closed game-changing SI partnerships, just raised a $60M Series A, and demand is outpacing what we can service. We're a small, talent-dense team doing our life's work out of London and NYC. Extreme ownership, high velocity, low-ego collaboration. What you build here shapes the company and how the world's largest companies operate. We sponsor visas and are convinced diverse teams build better products, so we especially encourage underrepresented groups in tech to reach out. WHAT YOU'LL OWN You'll own key accounting areas end-to-end, partner closely with our founders and legal counsel, and help build the controls and processes that will carry us through our next stage of growth. In practice: * Own key parts of the monthly and quarterly close: journal entries, reconciliations, and flux analysis * Take end-to-end ownership of assigned accounting areas: cash, accruals, payroll, capitalised commissions, fixed assets, or revenue-related balances * Prepare financial analyses and reporting packages, and make sure accounting results stay aligned with forecasts and business drivers * Improve and automate close processes, internal controls, and reporting workflows. If something is manual and slow, you find a way to make it scalable * Support audit and review processes, preparing documentation and fielding auditor inquiries WHO WE HIRE We're looking for someone who takes real ownership of their work and brings both the technical rigour and the commercial awareness to make accounting a genuine business partner, not just a reporting function. In practice that tends to look like: * 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in high-growth tech or startup environments, but not a requirement. You know what it means to close fast and close clean. * Detail-oriented and analytical. You're comfortable owning work end-to-end and you don't let things slip through. * A builder's instinct. You improve processes as you run them and you're genuinely interested in automation and AI-enabled workflows. * Strong communicator who collaborates well across Finance and the wider business. Nice to have: Big 4 or high-growth tech company background, CPA or equivalent certification, and exposure to revenue or product accounting.
