Finance Operations Manager — ClearAccept

Before you apply: this role requires direct experience working inside a payment services business: an acquirer, PSP, or payment facilitator. A financial services or accounting background alone does not meet the brief.

ClearAccept is a regulated UK payment institution in the acquiring space. We're growing, which means this role is as much about building as it is about running. There's real scope here to shape how things work, not just maintain them.

Requirements

What you'll own:

  • Daily client fund reconciliation and CASS 15 regulatory reporting
  • End-to-end merchant invoicing and acquirer commission reconciliation
  • Month-end close, P&L revenue analysis, and input into forecasting and budget
  • Aged debt, credit control, and billing query resolution
  • Transactional cost monitoring across the merchant portfolio
  • Annual audit lead for the finance business unit
  • A team of three — priorities, performance, and continuity

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
