Senior Accountant | Energy Trading Sector | Central London (Hybrid Working) | £85,000 | Permanent Role Robert Half are recruiting for a Qualified Accountant to join a global Energy Trading & Infrastructure business as a Senior Accountant, based in Central London. This is a highly commercial, front-office facing role offering extensive exposure to Traders, Business Developers, and senior leadership, including the CEO. Sitting within the Finance Operations team, this position is far broader than a traditional financial accounting role. The successful candidate will work closely with the trading desk, supporting mark-to-market valuations, applying IFRS to complex trading contracts and derivatives, and providing analytical insight to support commercial decision-making. The business trades power, gas, and environmental certificates, using a range of derivatives including forwards, futures, swaps, and options. The UK platform is fully integrated into a global trading business, providing a unique opportunity to combine technical accounting expertise with commercial exposure within a dynamic and fast-paced environment. About the Position Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, you will play a pivotal role within the Finance team, acting as a key link between Finance and the Front Office. This is an analytical and commercially focused role suited to someone who enjoys working in an evolving, unstructured environment rather than purely routine accounting processes. Key responsibilities include: <ul><li>Supporting and running mark-to-market valuations for trading activities and derivative contracts. * Applying IFRS accounting standards, including IFRS 9, to complex trading agreements and commercial contracts. * Partnering closely with Traders, Business Developers, and senior stakeholders to provide financial insight and commercial support. * Producing detailed KPI analysis, variance reporting, and ad-hoc financial analysis to support strategic decision-making. * Interpreting and assessing the accounting treatment of derivatives, PPAs, structured contracts, and traded instruments. * Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and profitability analysis across trading activities. * Ensuring accurate accounting treatment and booking of derivative transactions. * Designing and maintaining complex Excel-based models and reports to support operational and commercial performance. * Supporting audit and compliance activities where required.</li></ul>This role is significantly less focused on routine month-end accounting tasks such as balance sheet reconciliations, payment runs, and journal posting. Instead, the emphasis is on understanding how derivatives work, performing valuations, and providing commercially focused accounting support to the trading business. What We're Looking For <ul><li>Minimum of 7 years' experience in finance roles within the energy, commodities, or oil and gas sectors is essential. Prior experience within trading environments is also essential. * Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent). * Strong understanding of IFRS, particularly IFRS 9, with experience applying accounting standards to derivatives and trading contracts. * Experience working closely with front-office or commercial teams within energy or commodities businesses. * Strong analytical mindset with the ability to work in a fast-paced, unstructured, and commercially driven environment. * Experience with mark-to-market valuations, trading activities, or derivative accounting is essential. * Advanced Excel and financial modelling capabilities. * Confident communicator with strong stakeholder management skills.</li></ul> What's On Offer <ul><li>Salary: £85,000 * Hybrid working * Generous annual bonus * Pension: 12% employer contribution * 28 days holiday plus bank holidays * Group Life Cover: 8x base salary * Private Medical Insurance: family coverage * High exposure to front-office trading activities and senior leadership * Opportunity to develop within a global energy trading platform</li></ul> Why This Role Could Be Your Next Move This is an opportunity to move into a highly visible and commercially focused finance role within a leading energy trading business. You will work directly with the Front Office, gaining exposure to derivatives, trading strategies, and commercial decision-making while applying technical accounting expertise in a genuinely value-adding capacity. If you are looking to step away from heavily process-driven month-end accounting and into a more analytical, commercially engaged role with direct exposure to trading activities, this position offers an excellent platform for long-term career development within the energy and commodities sector.Robert Half Ltd acts as an employment business for temporary positions and an employment agency for permanent positions.

This role sits within one of the group's specialist divisions, supporting a broad portfolio of public and private sector clients across complex infrastructure and energy-related projects. The business operates in a fast-moving, project-driven environment, working closely with operational and commercial teams to deliver long-term sustainable solutions for clients across the UK. This is a broad and commercially focused Head of Finance role, reporting directly into the Managing Director with a strong dotted line into the CFO. The position offers significant exposure to both operational and strategic leadership, combining ownership of the finance function with genuine influence across the business. About the Position As Head of Finance, you'll lead the day-to-day finance function and act as a key business partner to both operational and commercial leadership teams. This is a highly visible role with broad exposure across financial control, planning, commercial decision-making, and operational performance. Day-to-day, you'll: <ul><li>Lead, develop, and motivate the finance team, ensuring clear priorities, strong performance, and ongoing development across the function. * Own the month-end close process, delivering accurate and timely management accounts, KPI reporting, and financial commentary to senior leadership. * Lead budgeting, forecasting, and longer-term planning processes, including scenario analysis and performance modelling. * Partner closely with operational and commercial stakeholders, supporting project delivery, procurement activity, contract reviews, and profitability improvement initiatives. * Maintain a strong financial control environment, ensuring balance sheet integrity, reconciliations, and compliance with group and statutory requirements. * Oversee cash flow management, working capital, payroll oversight, and liquidity forecasting. * Coordinate statutory accounts preparation, audit processes, and wider external reporting requirements. * Drive continuous improvement across finance processes, reporting, systems, and controls. * Support senior leadership on strategic initiatives, investment decisions, and wider commercial projects. * Act as a key finance lead across the division, providing insight, challenge, and commercial support to both finance and non-finance stakeholders.</li></ul> This role offers a strong blend of operational finance leadership and commercial business partnering, making it particularly well suited to someone who enjoys working closely with the business. What We're Looking For * Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA). * Significant post-qualified experience within a senior finance leadership role, or as a Financial Controller with broad responsibility across the entire finance function, and a track record of partnering closely with operational leadership to drive commercial performance, strategic decision-making, and business growth. * Experience within either construction, energy services, or other project-based environments is highly desirable but not essential. * Previous experience working closely with a Managing Director, Divisional Director, or senior operational leadership team, providing financial, commercial, and strategic support to drive business performance, growth, and decision-making. * Experience gained within a business environment that has provided broad exposure across all aspects of finance, with responsibility for owning the numbers and supporting operational and commercial decision-making, rather than operating within a highly siloed corporate structure. * Previous people management experience, with a track record of developing and leading high-performing teams. Here's What's Waiting for You <ul><li>£120,000 - £130,000 base salary. * Hybrid working model with Central London office base. * Direct exposure to both the Managing Director and CFO. * Broad leadership role with genuine commercial influence across the business. * Long-term career opportunities within a large international group.</li></ul> Why This Role Could Be Your Next Move This is far more than a traditional Head of Finance role. You'll operate as a genuine commercial partner to the leadership team, supporting operational performance, influencing strategic decisions, and helping drive the continued growth of the business. Alongside ownership of the finance function, you'll gain broad exposure across operational and commercial activity, working closely with stakeholders across project delivery, procurement, planning, and business performance. The role offers the scale and backing of a large international group whilst still maintaining the visibility, pace, and broad exposure often found in more entrepreneurial environments. For someone looking to combine strong financial leadership with genuine operational and commercial involvement within a growing and project-led business, this represents an excellent opportunity.
