Job Description

GL/Financial Accountant

So, who are we?

Hello, we’re IG Group. No, not Instagram – though we're a pretty big deal ourselves.

We’re a global, FTSE 250-listed company made up of a collection of progressive fintech brands in the world of online trading and investing. The best part? We’ve snapped up many awards for our top-class platforms, forward-thinking products, and incredible employee experiences.

We believe in financial freedom. And our purpose is to help ambitious people achieve it. Around 400,000 people use our groundbreaking technology and forward-thinking platforms to trade the financial products they know and love.

Did we mention we have offices in 18 countries? Yes, when you join IG Group, you'll have the chance to work across multiple brands, with people all over the world. Join us for an exciting future and let’s innovate together!

Your role in the Team

Here, you can try new ideas, and lead the way in creating inspiring experiences for our clients and everyone around you.

We don’t fit the corporate stereotype. If you want to work for a traditional, suit-and-tie corporate that just gives you a pay cheque at the end of the month, we might not be for you. But, if you have that IG Group energy and you can stand behind what we believe in, let’s raise the bar together.

  • Think Big: We focus on the problems that most move the needle of commercial outcomes
  • Champion the client: We always keep the client's needs front of mind and deliver as much value for them in all that we do
  • Deliver at pace: We work to ensure nothing stands in the way of fast delivery of sustainable growth for our business
  • Raise the bar: We raise the bar by taking ownership of outcomes and being accountable for making things better all across IG

From the team:

This will be a busy role in a team that introduced a lot of changes to its process over the last couple of years. New perspective from someone with external financial experience can bring a lot of added value to the team and IG’s fast-growing Share Trading business
