This is a high-impact, hybrid role at the centre of a fast-scaling, regulated banking environment. You’ll own core financial control processes while also driving forward-looking insight, planning, and commercial decision support. It’s a breadth role for someone who thrives in pace, wants real ownership, and can operate across both the technical and commercial sides of finance.
You’ll sit in a lean, flat team where judgement matters, data flows fast, and finance is deeply connected to product, risk, operations, and customer outcomes.
What You’ll Own
Financial Control & Reporting
- Deliver accurate month-end close, including journals, reconciliations, substantiation, and control checks.
- Own key balance sheet and P&L lines, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and IFRS compliance.
- Maintain high-quality documentation, audit trails, and controls suitable for a regulated banking environment.
- Support production of statutory accounts and regulatory submissions.
- Lead investigations into variances, control breaks, and data issues, driving remediation and continuous improvement.
- Partner with external auditors, managing queries and ensuring a controlled, timely close.
