Finance Manager - UK
We're retained on a crucial FM hire with a global payments fintech that are tripling headcount this year (150 by end of year) and opening offices globally.
The founder is well-known having founded and scaled a payments fintech to $1bn+ valuation.
Why Join?
- Rare cross-functional scope: FP&A, Treasury, financial control—no silos.
- True autonomy, no micromanagement, hands-on from day one.
- High-growth moment: 11 entities expanding, infrastructure-scale clearing ambition, laser-focused leadership.
- Shape UK finance; global/multi-jurisdictional exposure peers won't touch for years.
- Strong "good people in the trenches" team.
The Problem This Role Solves
The finance team currently consists of an FD and Finance Manager (APAC focused). With 11 entities live, bank recs, payment runs, month-ends, client requests, audits, and filings have exploded. They need a UK-based operator to own UK entity ops. The UK entity is freshly opened.
