We pride ourselves on being a stimulating, forward-looking, and friendly environment with a diverse mix of students and staff from over 50 countries. Based in central London adjacent to Regent’s Park, we have trained musicians to the highest professional standards since 1822 and we are firmly focused on developing tomorrow’s musical leaders in disciplines including classical, jazz, composition and musical theatre. The Finance Department is responsible for processing the Academy's financial transactions and maintaining the integrity of the General Ledger. The work of the department encompasses a broad range of financial activities, reflecting the requirements of a specialist Higher Education institution. We are seeking a finance professional with a strong background in financial reconciliations and accounts administration. The role reports to the Finance Manager - Financial Control & Systems and provides administrative and financial support in relation to student tuition fees, bursaries, scholarships and associated funding arrangements. The role assists in ensuring that student income is accurately recorded, reconciled and maintained across the Academy's finance and student systems. You will have a track record of maintaining financial records, reconciling accounts, investigating and resolving discrepancies and providing high-quality services to a range of stakeholders. You will be confident using Excel and finance systems, with a strong ability to learn new software quickly. Experience using systems such as Xledger and Quercus, student finance, or working within Higher Education is welcome, but equivalent administrative and financial experience from other sectors is equally valued. Completed applications must be received by 23.59 (midnight) on Thursday 19 November 2026. Interviews are expected to take place on-site on Thursday 26 November 2026. The Academy accepts applications from non-UK citizens who have the right to work in the UK. Please note that the Academy is unable to provide a certificate of sponsorship for this role, as this role does not meet the eligibility requirements for a skilled worker visa. Enquiries or applications from recruitment agencies will not be accepted. The Academy is committed to promoting the welfare and safeguarding of all students. The Academy values diversity and welcomes your application. We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, and candidates with disabilities because we would like to increase the representation of these groups in these roles. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to greater results for students.
