I’m delighted to be working with a fast-growing, award-winning education technology company to recruit a Finance Operations Lead.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone looking for a broad, hands-on finance role within a genuinely mission-driven organisation, where you’ll have plenty of ownership and the opportunity to improve how things are done.

It searches the market for you

This isn’t a narrow transactional role. You’ll get involved across reconciliations, accounts receivable, cash flow, analysis, budgeting and forecasting, while actively looking for opportunities to streamline and automate processes.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Processing and reconciling transactions and supporting month-end close
- Owning the accounts receivable process and improving debt collection
- Preparing monthly cash flow and variance analysis
- Calculating sales commissions for monthly payroll
- Supporting annual budgeting and rolling forecasts
- Undertaking financial modelling and ad-hoc analysis
- Identifying cost-saving opportunities
- Improving, streamlining and automating finance processes
- Acting as a key point of contact for finance queries across the organisation
About you
You’ll ideally have previous experience within a finance or finance operations role, with strong numerical skills, commercial awareness and excellent attention to detail.

Just as importantly, they’re looking for someone who takes ownership, shows initiative and naturally thinks about how processes could work better.
You’ll need to be confident with Excel, including pivot tables, XLOOKUPs and formulas. Experience with Xero or Salesforce would be useful, although neither is essential.

- Location: Fully remote anywhere in the UK, or work flexibly from offices in London or Edinburgh
- Holiday: 28 days plus bank holidays
