Job description
Location: Douglas, Isle of Man
Reports to: Financial Reporting Manager
Job Summary
plan .com is one of the fastest growing tech companies in the UK and the Isle of Man, and our finance function is evolving just as quickly. We are seeking a driven, dynamic and meticulous Financial Reporting Accountant to join our team at a genuinely interesting point in that journey: we are investing in automation and AI to take the manual effort out of reporting, so that the team can spend more of its time on analysis, insight and control.
The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring accuracy and compliance across our financial reporting processes for our UK and Isle of Man entities, with a drive to understand the complexities of our business and the ability to tackle problems from all sorts of different angles. Just as importantly, they will be expected to question how things are done today and help us do them better tomorrow — whether that means refining a process in Dynamics 365 Business Central, rebuilding a report, or using AI tools to remove a manual workaround.
This role involves various aspects of corporate finance and collaborating with stakeholders across the business to ensure regulatory compliance and transparency. The Financial Reporting Accountant will play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of financial records and supporting decision-making processes within the organisation, and offers the chance for the successful candidate to evolve alongside our company as we embark on our next phase of expansion.

- An ACA or ACCA qualified Accountant with 1-3 years PQE, experience in a financial reporting role desirable

- Experience of Dynamics 365 Business Central would be preferable; experience of a comparable ERP, together with the appetite to get up to speed quickly, will also be considered
- Open to using AI in day-to-day work and genuinely interested in what it can do for a finance function — hands-on experience of tools such as Claude or Microsoft Copilot is desirable
- A process improvement mindset: you notice manual, repetitive work and want to fix it rather than work around it
- Sound judgement on when to lean on a tool and when to check the detail yourself, alongside a healthy respect for data confidentiality and control
- Willingness to embrace an environment where no two days are the same
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Desire to understand and challenge the detail behind the numbers within the business
- Attention to detail in a pressured environment is critical
