HOLY is expanding its footprint in the UK — and fast. With strong momentum across Europe, we’re now establishing our UK entity to support our next stage of growth.

To drive this expansion, we’re looking for a Senior Finance & Accounting Manager UK to lead the setup and ongoing management of our UK finance and accounting operations. You’ll ensure our financial processes are robust, compliant, and scalable — enabling transparent reporting, accurate consolidation, and timely compliance across the group.

• Lead Entity and Finance Setup: Lead the setup of the UK finance entity, including banking, accounting, and payment infrastructure. Establish compliant accounting processes aligned with UK GAAP and group standards. Collaborate with legal and external advisors to ensure regulatory alignment during entity setup.
• Financial Operations: You oversee and execute day-to-day accounting operations, including AP/AR, payroll liaison, and reconciliation processes. Ensure timely and accurate month-end closing, including accruals, intercompany reconciliations, and group consolidation. Implement internal controls to ensure process reliability.
• Partner and Tool Management: Manage relationships with external accounting and tax advisors. Oversee and maintain finance systems and tools (e.g., Pathways, PSPs, ERP integrations, AP tools). Drive automation and efficiency across finance processes.
• Intercompany & Consolidation: Manage intercompany transactions, settlements, and reconciliations. Support group consolidation by ensuring accurate reporting between entities. Collaborate with central finance on transfer pricing and internal policies.
• Compliance & Reporting: Ensure accurate statutory filings, VAT returns, and other tax submissions with the support of advisors. Coordinate with central teams to align reporting, audit, and compliance cycles. Collaborate closely with the group’s central finance team in Germany, ensuring alignment across UK and German accounting principles. Maintain up-to-date financial documentation and audit readiness.
• Strategic Finance Collaboration: Partner with teams across HOLY to improve financial transparency and scalability. Provide insights into financial performance, process improvements, and risk mitigation.

• Financially fluent and technically strong: You have 5+ years in accounting/finance with experience of setting up finance operations from the ground up.
• Cross-border understanding: Experience working with international entities is a plus — ideally with some familiarity with German accounting standards or reporting practices (HGB / German GAAP).
• Process builder: You can design and scale financial operations from the ground up.
• Collaborative and autonomous: You thrive in cross-border collaboration while independently managing UK-specific operations.
• Tech-savvy: You are comfortable with finance systems, ERPs, payment platforms, and consolidation tools.
• Analytical and detail-oriented: You ensure data accuracy and consistency across complex financial processes.
• Proactive communicator: You align stakeholders across finance, legal, and operations.

• A successful and growing company: Join a company that has been growing profitable and quickly for the last 36+ months and have just raised a series B, while many other e-commerce companies are struggling.
• Huge impact: Enjoy huge impact to shape HOLY’s internationalisation in a top market.
• Awesome team: Join an awesome team of colleagues who are ambitious, funny, down-to-earth, and authentic. Get to know us and see for yourself!
• Top product: Marketing is important, but a good product is essential. Our differentiated soft drinks have won over customers. Check out our reviews.io reviews or contact us for free samples.
• Startup culture: Join a startup culture that values flat hierarchies, fast pace, and personal development. With us, you can make a real impact.
• Perfect setup: Enjoy a perfect setup that includes all the requirements of a modern employer, such as a remote setup (office in London coming soon), flexible working hours, and much more.
• Competitive comp. + equity: Join us at a pivotal stage of hypergrowth. We offer a strong salary and meaningful equity—giving you the chance to share in our current success and benefit from the massive upside as we scale.
