With the FD overseeing multiple areas of the business, this role is ideal for a proactive self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

The role is based in our beautiful Clapham Old Town restaurant, where our support team is proudly located.

Leading investment appraisals for new site openings and other capital projects
Supporting the annual budget cycle and quarterly reforecasts
Managing VAT returns and other statutory filings

What We’re Looking For

ACA / ACCA / CA qualified, with 2+ years post-qualification experience
Hospitality experience is a bonus, but not essential
Commercially sharp, detail-focused, and confident communicating across the business
Strong technical accounting knowledge and experience leading reporting processes
Advanced Excel skills and a love for turning data into insight
A self-starter mindset with bags of initiative and a collaborative spirit

Why Megan’s?
We’re passionate & proud about what we do. At Megan’s, you’ll be part of a people-first business that invests in its team and celebrates personality, passion, and potential.
