Finance Manager | Fintech | London / Hybrid
The Company
We’re supporting a high‑growth fintech in the payments space.
The business has scaled rapidly, backed by strong investors and operating in an FCA‑regulated environment, they’re now strengthening their finance infrastructure to support the next phase of growth.
The team is lean, ambitious, and heavily tech‑enabled. If you want breadth, ownership, and the chance to help shape a finance function in a genuinely scaling environment, this is a compelling move.
The Role

You’ll own core financial operations, month‑end, reconciliations, payments and supplier management. Alongside this, you’ll gain exposure to FP&A, investor reporting, and commercial analysis that’s rarely available in larger teams.
This is an automation‑first finance function. You’ll be expected to improve processes, not just run them. With close collaboration across data science, product, and commercial teams, there’s genuine cross‑functional influence and the opportunity to help build scalable finance infrastructure from the ground up.
They’re looking for someone technically strong, fully qualified, and grounded in audit, who can identify gaps, design solutions, and build structure as the business scales.
