Job Description

Meet Cleo Cleo was created to improve your financial health. Already, she's helped 3 million people improve their relationship with money through simplicity and a sense of humour. Cleo's not a bank though. She's an interface for the 99% - an AI assistant defining a new category, one that goes beyond saving up to actually changing how we feel about our finances. Through chat, Cleo hits you with ridiculously personal insights into your spending, while suggesting personalised financial products that increase your ability to save. But really, it's our tone of voice that sets us apart. We're a product for the next generation. That means meeting our users where they are and building the type of relationship they expect. It also means dropping the BS. Watch this to dive a little deeper If you're looking for a bigger, weirder and more ambitious playground to improve the framework of a fast growing business, come join our small but mighty finance team. We are building a finance function for the future. On top of hiring for the Finance Manager position, we'll be building a full stack team of engineers to integrate with finance and drive the business forward who you'll be working with directly. We have a unique business model which means you'll be facing previously unheard of business challenges which you'll need to solve creatively but with your strong foundation of accounting knowledge and experience. We are building systems to enable every person at Cleo to do their best work, providing accurate and real-time information to further enable our team. We'll also be opening an office in New York soon and you'll be supporting the US team as we scale it.You will be responsible for the management of our bookkeeper and will report directly to our Finance Director and COO. Your key responsibilities will be: * Managing the end to end Cleo accounting process; ensuring timely accounts that highlight where we need to act next month to drive the business forward. * In the same way that Cleo helps our users look after their finances, you'll be working on maintaining Cleo's financial health by owning day to day cash management for our fast-scaling international business. * Owning internal finance processes; including payroll, ensuring we have everything ready for external audit, and creating reports for our leadership team and the Board. * Suggesting ways for us to work smarter and faster; making our processes more efficient without compromising on quality as we scale. About you We need more than just a great accountant, we're looking for someone proactive and commercially-minded who understands how to prioritise. You'll be juggling multiple business-critical tasks so you understand that spending hours chasing for that missing 15 Uber receipt probably isn't the best use of your time. As we're a fast-moving scale-up, some of the projects will require you to work outside of pure accounting and finance; from benchmarking salaries for a new hire we want to make, to getting our EMI scheme share valuations done as Cleo goes from strength to strength. You will need: * You're a fully qualified accountant (CIMA/ACA/ACCA), ideally with some post-qualified experience * You have experience working for a startup/scale-up or a strong appetite to work for one * As you'll have guessed: you need to know Excel/Google Sheets! SQL experience would also be a big plus * You know how to handle the ups and downs of Xero * You're proactive - you can't see a big problem without wanting to solve it * You can communicate complex financial concepts with simplicity and clarity with people across the company What do you get for all your hard work? * An above market compensation package (base + equity). We're prepared to pay for the very best * Work at one of the fastest growing tech startups anywhere in the world who are backed by top VC firm, Balderton * The team is exceptional. You'll get to work with brilliantly forward-thinking and dedicated individuals every day * Our mission is standout. We want to radically improve everyone's relationship with money. We're not maximising the time consumers spend in a feed, getting fast food delivered, or building an incrementally better bank. We're changing an industry in a visceral way, which you get to see every day in our customer feedback We're an equal opportunity employer and put a lot of focus on ensuring there is an open environment for everyone
