Assistant Management Accountant
Since our inception in 2015 in Denmark, Liva has been a pioneer in the field of digital behaviour change. Our ambition is to empower 1 million people by 2030 to improve their health and well-being by preventing and managing chronic conditions through digitally-powered, evidence-based lifestyle interventions.
Headquartered in Copenhagen and London, our collaborations with healthcare systems - including the NHS, life science companies and health insurers - allow us to impact lives at scale. In 2025, we acquired Momenta, a leading developer and provider of evidence-based, outcome driven, healthy lifestyle solutions that help people negotiate the many day-to-day challenges they face in living healthier lives, with a focus on weight management.
We are currently in an exciting phase of growth and transformation as we transition our Finance operations from an outsourced model to a fully in-house function. We are looking for an ambitious Assistant Management Accountant to be the foundational "engine room" of this new internal team.
About the role
This role is vital because it ensures the absolute data integrity required for us to move from simple bookkeeping to strategic performance management. You won't just be maintaining the books; you will be building the financial infrastructure that allows Liva to make high-impact commercial changes.
What you’ll be doing
Owning the UK Ledger: You will manage all daily transactions and bank reconciliations to ensure absolute data precision—the foundation of all our business decisions
Driving operational efficiency: By executing twice-weekly payment runs and monitoring expenditure, you ensure our vendors are satisfied and our spending stays strictly within departmental budgets
Supporting strategic growth: You will help prepare monthly management accounts and aid in rolling forecasts to help senior management make evidence-based decisions for Liva's future
Evolving our systems: You will support the development of our financial systems, identifying opportunities to automate manual tasks and improve integrations.
Ensuring statutory readiness: By taking full responsibility for balance sheet reconciliations and assisting with year-end audit workpapers, you maintain a clean, granular data foundation that is always "audit-ready"
What you’ll have
You might be studying toward ACCA, ICAEW, or ACA, giving you the theoretical foundation to move beyond processing into commercial analysis.
A proven technical foundation: You are AAT qualified or qualified by experience, ensuring you can handle the complexities of high-volume reconciliations.
Digital fluency: Experience with Xero and an interest in fintech automation are essential, as you will be a key player in our digital finance transformation.
What you’ll get
This role offers a unique opportunity to be directly involved in the evolution of the finance function. You will not be a small cog in a pre-existing machine; instead, you will have a front-row seat as we transform our financial operations.
Exposure to complex areas like group reporting and finance transformations that usually take years to reach in larger firms.
Professional development: Full study support for your ACCA/ICAEW/ACA qualifications
Flexibility: A remote-first working model
Wellbeing: A working environment that promotes health and wellbeing at all levels.
At Liva, we are a purpose-driven company, and we go to work every day to help people live better lives. Our purpose is in our DNA, and we are always on the lookout for talented people who are eager to evolve and build a life-changing career within global health tech.
At Liva we believe in doing business the right way. Liva is committed to both eliminating discrimination and encouraging diversity amongst our workforce. We are committed to developing a representative workforce at all levels, and maintaining a working environment that promotes the health and wellbeing of our employees.

Make a difference
At Liva, we do not go to work just to work. We are a purpose-driven company, and we go to work every day to help people live better lives. Our purpose is in our DNA, and it is important that this is also a driver for you. -
Flexible work hours and locations
We value the health of our employees, and it all starts with a healthy work/life balance. We will put in the extra effort when needed, but we also know the importance of recharging your batteries and spending time on your priorities outside work. We are flexible when it comes to working from home, but we also expect that you will prioritise to come to the office and contribute to the company culture. -
Your colleagues
We are an ambitious bunch of people, and we work hard to achieve our goals - but we do not want colleagues with sharp elbows competing internally instead of working as a team. -
Personal growth
If you have the passion, skills, empathy, and enthusiasm to drive things forward, this is more important to us than formal education. We believe in personal growth and to give people the chance of growing into new areas of expertise if they have the drive and talent to do so.
