Accountant

At Compass, we're on a mission to transform the school day for everyone - from staff and students to families and administrators.

We build smart, seamless technology that empowers schools to focus on what really matters: learning, growing and thriving. That mission has fuelled our growth into a global scale-up, now supporting 5,000+ schools across three countries, backed by a team of 300+ people. Our all-in-one school management platform is redefining how education communities connect, communicate and operate.

You'll support the monthly reporting cycle for the consolidated group, including financial reporting, analysis and tax compliance, and run the finance operations behind it - from accounts payable and bank reconciliations through to debt recovery.
