Job Description

You will be a part of the Financial Operations team, ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and security of financial data. Beyond the daily responsibilities, you will be a key player in driving efficiency through automation, supporting new business projects, and implementing strategic initiatives. We are looking for proactive individuals who are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and go the extra mile to drive success.

What you’ll do:

• Perform complex reconciliations of accounts, including bank, receivables, payables, inter-company balances, ensuring all discrepancies are investigated and resolved with precision.

• Take ownership of the reconciliation framework, enhancing procedures to improve control and mitigate risk.

• Actively support and contribute to automation projects, collaborating with tech teams to design, test, and implement solutions that increase operational efficiency.

• Actively participate in new business projects, providing operational support, testing new systems, and ensuring a smooth transition for new clients or products.

• Own the completeness of the data from source to the ledger, including generating insightful reports for management and stakeholders.

• For the Senior Associate role: Take a lead on more complex projects and automations, mentor junior team members, and act as a key point of contact for operational queries.

Qualifications 

We are looking for candidates who possess a strong foundation in accounting principles and a genuine passion for operational excellence and innovation.

About you:

• Proven experience in a financial operations or accounting role, with a strong focus on reconciliations.

• Prior experience in the payments or fintech industry is highly preferred.

• A trained accountant with practical experience and a deep understanding of accounting principles, especially in a high-volume transaction environment. While formal qualifications (e.g., ACCA, ACA) are advantageous, they are not essential.

• A proactive, "can-do" attitude, willing to go above and beyond to support team and company goals.

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a keen eye for detail.

• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel.

• You are detail oriented and have no room for approximation.

• Willingness and ability to undertake limited international travel, approximately once or twice per year for training or project work.

We create the conditions for high performers to thrive – through real ownership, fewer blockers, and work that makes a difference from day one.

Here, you’ll move fast, take on meaningful challenges, and be recognized for the impact you deliver. It’s a place where ambition gets met with opportunity – and where your growth is in your hands.

We work as one team, and we back each other to succeed. So whatever your background or identity, if you’re ready to grow and make a difference, you’ll be right at home here.

It’s important we set you up for success and make our process as accessible as possible. So let us know in your application, or tell your recruiter directly, if you need anything to make your experience or working environment more comfortable.
