Employer Profile · Summer 2026 · CIMA + CTA
Systems architect. Dual-track finance.
Part-time Junior Systems Finance Assistant — ledger-literate, systems-capable, and building toward Chartered Management Accountant (CIMA) plus Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) on a parallel cloud track.
Current rate expectation
£20–25 / hr
Part-time, employer-safe — reflects certificate-level progress and hands-on systems experience.
Future aspiration (post-qualification target)
£30–40 / hr
Not a current ask — projected after CIMA operational/management milestones and AWS associate batch completion.
Dual-track finance
CIMA + CTA dual-track
Management accounting depth (CIMA) paired with Chartered Tax Adviser progression (CTA) — the same dual lens powering R&D Credit Automator, LedgerAnomaly, and StripeNexus for accounting firms.

Practical Experience (PER)
CIMA requires supervised practical experience hours mapped to competencies. Part-time finance/systems work — reconciliation, ledger support, automation — counts toward Chartered status when documented and signed off by a qualified supervisor.
I don't just understand the finance systems — I build them. I can map a payment webhook to a ledger journal, automate the reconciliation, and reduce the close from days to minutes. I'm an engineer who speaks fluent finance, and a finance candidate who ships production code.
Skills
- REST APIs & webhook ingestion
- Ledger reconciliation & double-entry mapping
- Systems admin & multi-tenant SaaS ops
- CIMA + CTA dual-track candidate
- R&D relief / tax-tech awareness (CTA lens)
- Stripe-to-ERP pipeline familiarity
- Excel / modelling & management reporting
