Job Description

Every day, somewhere in the world, important decisions are made. Whether it is a private equity company deciding to invest millions into a business or a large corporation implementing a new strategic direction, these decisions impact employees, customers, and other stakeholders.
Consulting and private equity firms come to proSapient when they need to discover knowledge to help them make great decisions and succeed in their goals. It is our mission to support them in their discovery of knowledge.
We help our clients find industry experts who can provide their knowledge via interview or survey: we curate this knowledge in a market-leading software platform; and we help clients surface knowledge they already have through expansive knowledge management.
Were looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented finance professional to join our team for a 15-month maternity cover. This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a varied, AR-focused role that also plays a key part in our month-end processes.
Youll be joining a collaborative finance function where the wider team is supportive and knowledgeable. What makes this role different is our client base: you'll be working closely with a major global client who operates across multiple territories and holds complex subscription models. This means accurate and timely invoicing, regular usage updates, and sharp attention to detail are essential.
Whether you're someone with a few solid years in AR or a finance assistant looking to take the next step, were open to different levels of experience. You dont need to be studying ACCA/CIMA, but a solid grasp of debits and credits is important. Experience posting journals and working with FX, accruals, and prepayments would be a big plus.
If youre looking for a supportive team, a role with variety, and a business that encourages ownership and initiative, wed love to hear from you.
