Job description
MadBid.com is a Gamified eCommerce experience that will take you on a thrilling shopping adventure and leaves you with an average discount of 89% on a wide selection of brand new products in our fast-paced auctions. Even if you do not win an auction, you can use the money spent on bidding as a discount towards buying the item that you bid on. Bid or buy direct to get some of the best deals online. We even match our Buy-Now prices with other major retailers on selected items.
MadBid.com is looking for a highly motivated, organised and energetic individual who is very reliable. You should have a genuine passion in organising things. You also should be a fast learner and enjoy routine. We have the same mantra as Jeff Bezos, the Founder and CEO of Amazon.com: “You can work long, hard and smart, but at Amazon.com you can’t choose two of three”.
To join our company you should have a strong analytical capability and a great attention to detail. Accounting and/or finance should be part of your degree and if you are already familiar with concepts such as financial statements, bookkeeping and VAT it will be of advantage.
This is an exciting opportunity to join an innovative and strong Internet company in Central London. We are based in Pimlico, a short walk away from Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tate Britain. You will assist the CFO and the accountants of the business in diverse tasks that will improve your professional skills, technical skills and organisational capabilities. The finance team is responsible for all the day to day transactional accounting for the business, which includes the tracking of all transactions and the management of any government reporting (e.g. tax and VAT) across all the countries where we operate.

• Very capable to work independently and not afraid of taking responsibility
• Positive attitude and great energy
• Good communication skills, fluency in English (written and spoken). Additional languages are a plus.
