At Trustpilot, we're on an incredible journey. We're a profitable, high-growth FTSE-250 company with a big vision: to become the universal symbol of trust. We run the world's largest independent consumer review platform, and while we've come a long way, there's still so much exciting work to do. Come join us at the heart of trust!

At Trustpilot, finance doesn’t just record the numbers - it powers how we make decisions, unlock opportunities, and scale our business. As we continue building the universal symbol of trust, we’re reimagining how accounting, reporting, and finance operations can drive efficiency, insight, and smarter decision-making across the organisation.

We’re now looking for a Head of Accounting & Control to lead and modernise our group accounting function. This is an opportunity to shape how finance operates at Trustpilot - building robust processes, embedding strong controls, and enabling the business to act with confidence and speed. You’ll operate at the intersection between several other Finance teams to ensure financial accuracy and transparency across the Group - this role is about turning accounting operations into measurable business impact.

Reporting into the Group Financial Director, you’ll lead a small but critical team, working closely with FP&A, Group Reporting, Finance Operations (AP/AR), and business leaders across Trustpilot to strengthen and future-proof the finance function. If you’re a strategic finance leader with a hands-on, change-driven mindset, this role is for you.

What you’ll be doing

Lead and develop the accounting function: Manage a small team of accounting professionals, creating clarity of purpose, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous development. Own core accounting processes and months end-close: Oversee the month-end close, general ledger operations across the Group, reconciliations, and journal entries - with a particular focus on overhead and below-GM costs - ensuring accuracy, timeliness and strong financial discipline.
Provide insight through financial analysis: Analyse monthly financial results to ensure accuracy and identify trends or variances, providing insights that support decision-making across the Group in close partnership with the FP&A team.
Partner across the finance organisation: Work closely with the Head of Group Reporting to ensure alignment between local GAAP and IFRS reporting and collaborate with FP&A to support financial planning, analysis, and business performance discussions, as well as aligning with AP and AR teams to ensure a smooth month end close.
Drive efficiency through process improvement: Identify opportunities for automation, simplification, and improved efficiency across accounting processes, utilising AI where possible.
Support the external audit process: Act as a key point of contact during the external audit, providing accounting information, analysis, and explanations to support a smooth and efficient audit process.
Strengthen internal controls and financial governance: Continue evolving Trustpilot’s internal control environment, ensuring robust accounting policies, strong governance, and reliable financial processes.
Oversee cost centre management and finance data integrity: Maintain the integrity of the finance data structure, including cost centre governance and cost allocation methodologies, ensuring financial data supports accurate reporting and business insight.
Operational cash management: Monitor and appropriately forecast future entity level cash requirements to ensure optimum use of cash and lower FX exposure.

What you'll be doing

A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent), with a strong technical foundation and an experience in accounting leadership, group finance, or financial reporting.
Systems-savvy, with hands-on experience using Unit4 or a comparable ERP, and a keen interest in evolving finance system architecture.
Excited by the opportunity to modernise and optimise, not just maintain processes.
Commercially fluent and analytically sharp, able to present complex accounting information clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
A strategic thinker who thrives in complexity but still loves rolling up their sleeves when needed.
Confident in influencing senior stakeholders and presenting clear insights to drive business performance.
Passionate about continuous improvement, digital tools, and modern finance practices.
