About Cleo
At Cleo, we're not just building another fintech app. We're embarking on a mission to fundamentally change humanity's relationship with money.

We have an exceptionally high bar for talent, seeking individuals who are not only at the top of their field but also embody our culture of collaboration and positive impact.

About The Role
Cleo’s headcount is increasing, our products are expanding, and we’re working across more locations! As a result, our transaction volumes are growing - more suppliers, more employee expenses, and more settlements within the product itself.
As such, we’re looking for an Accounts Assistant to join the team, to support us across our UK and US entities.
This is an ideal role for a candidate who is early in their finance career - this is an excellent opportunity to support with critical accounting tasks, but also to learn more about the month end close process from more senior members of the team.
Key Responsibilities
- Supplier invoice processing - coding, matching and posting across the UK & US entities
- Preparation and setup of bi-weekly payment runs
- Employee expense card (UK and US) transaction posting and monthly reconciliations
- Daily bank statement postings across all active entity accounts
- Employee expense claim processing and positing
- Month end support, particularly in areas such as prepayments and accruals
- Support on settlement reconciliations as our user base grows
- Maintenance of the AP ledger and creditor records
- Daily bank transfers and daily wallet transfers across the UK and US entities
- Participation in projects to automate and improve processes, as well as wider Core Finance projects
