Accounting Manager / Controller

QOVES is a technology company pioneering facial aesthetics, helping consumers make smarter beauty decisions. Every day, people make important decisions about their appearance based on guesswork or generic advice. We help them decide with clarity instead. Our platform gives customers a clear, science-backed understanding of their face, paired with bespoke advice on how they can look better. Our work reaches millions: more than 2.5 million people follow QOVES across platforms and most importantly, our customers are delighted, with 4.8 stars across 600+ reviews; we believe this reflects the care and sensitivity with which we approach everyone who comes to us for guidance. We're a profitable, growing company headquartered in Central London, with a team across the globe. What guides us is simple: people deserve more than one-size-fits-all advice when it comes to their appearance. Every decision we make (from the science behind our models to the way we communicate results) is grounded in evidence, responsibility, and a broad, inclusive understanding of beauty.

We are looking for an experienced and hands-on Accounting Manager / Controller to take full ownership of Qoves’ accounting function and build a reliable, scalable accounting operation as the company continues to grow.

Qoves operates a subscription-based SaaS business with a growing international customer base and a multi-entity, multi-currency finance environment. This role will play a key part in ensuring the accounting function can scale effectively with the business. The successful candidate will own the month-end close, accounting operations, financial controls, reconciliations, financial reporting, and accounting processes across the business. The role will work closely with the Head of Finance to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting and support the company’s continued growth.

In this role, you will own the end-to-end accounting function, ensuring the company’s books are accurate, complete, and up to date. You will manage the month-end and year-end close processes, including the preparation and review of financial statements and supporting schedules, while overseeing day-to-day bookkeeping, AP/AR, transaction recording, account coding, reconciliations, and external accounting support.

You will manage bank, credit card, Stripe, and other payment processor reconciliations, ensuring the accurate accounting of revenue and subscription-related transactions. You will also oversee accounting for accruals, prepayments, deferred revenue, fixed assets, intercompany transactions, multi-entity activities, multi-currency accounting, and international transactions.

The role will also involve ensuring the correct accounting and VAT treatment of transactions within the UK entity, working with external tax and accounting advisors where appropriate. You will support tax-related accounting and compliance processes, including VAT and sales tax where applicable, and establish, maintain, and improve accounting policies, financial controls, systems, processes, and automation.

You will identify accounting issues, investigate discrepancies, and drive them to resolution, while ensuring accounting records are maintained to a high standard and remain audit- and due-diligence-ready. You will also coordinate with external auditors, tax advisors, and other finance partners as needed, and support the Head of Finance with investor reporting by providing accurate, timely, and well-supported financial information.
