Finance Manager

• Learn under an outstanding Head of Finance inside one of the UK’s fastest-growing consumer-tech businesses. • Own the day-to-day engine room of finance, from high-volume reconciliations through to month-end. • Help design the controls, systems, and automation that let Nous scale with near-zero defects. • Apply confident first-principles thinking to problems that have no ready-made playbook, given the innovative nature of the business model. • Take a genuine controller-track opportunity, with a clear path to Financial Controller and beyond. • Prepare the business for, and help lead it through, its first external audit. • Work in a deliberately hands-on and technical role rather than a routine finance one. • Work office-first from Farringdon, with pragmatism about heads-down work.

• Bring around 5 years or more of relevant finance experience, either from practice such as Big 4 audit or advisory, or from a strong industry background. • Show a clear, demonstrable history of high performance, academic, professional, or both. • Bring a STEM or analytical background or degree, and a genuinely analytical mind. • Bring a real love of accounting and comfort being hands-on in the detail of reconciliations, invoicing, and month-end. • Bring high agency and first-principles problem-solving in fast-changing environments. • Be qualified as ACA, ACCA, or CIMA with at least 2 to 3 years post-qualification experience, or equivalent. • Bring hands-on familiarity with databases and data tooling such as Power BI, Looker, Omni, Amplitude, or Tableau. • Work comfortably with modern data tooling beyond Excel and traditional accounting systems such as Xero or NetSuite. • Stay tech-savvy, already curious about and comfortable using data and AI tooling in your own work. • Work office-first from Farringdon.

• Use AI tools actively in your day-to-day work, for example Claude Code or similar. • Bring exposure to high-volume, transactional businesses such as marketplaces, fintech, energy, or consumer technology. • Bring experience building or improving finance processes in partnership with product or engineering teams. • Bring exposure to a first audit, or to building controls in a scaling business. • Come as an exceptional first-mover from practice, ideally Big 4 audit or CFO advisory, or from another firm auditing high-growth tech businesses. • Come as a high-calibre industry candidate looking for a controller-track role in a rapidly growing company.

• Own the high-volume reconciliations at the heart of the business, keeping customer, supplier, and provider transactions reconciling cleanly as customers move between providers. • Manage the invoicing cycle across the supplier and provider base, keeping it accurate, timely, and well controlled. • Take ownership of finance operations end to end, including customer payments, provider payouts, supplier fees, and other regular payments. • Build automation into finance workflows using modern data and AI tooling. • Maintain consistent, accurate financial records and be the go-to person on the historical financial source of truth. • Lead the month-end close and prepare management accounts the leadership team can rely on. • Design and embed financial controls across payments, approvals, and vendor management, building a robust control environment from the ground up. • Prepare the business for its first external audit and help lead it through. • Partner with engineering, product, and go-to-market teams to design low-touch, automated finance processes, particularly around reconciliation and data capture. • Provide the finance foundations supporting geographic and product expansion. • Support the Head of Finance on investor reporting and the reporting infrastructure behind it.

• Take a controller-track role with a clear path to Financial Controller and beyond. • Learn directly under an outstanding Head of Finance. • Receive a compelling package including share options with life-changing upside. • Take 33 days paid holiday including bank holidays. • Get the equipment, setup, and training you need to do your best work. • Work in a high-performance, high-agency, high-trust environment that is intentionally lean and AI-native. • Use a great office set up for collaborative working, with very good coffee and a well-stocked kitchen. • Access health and dental cash plans plus an employee assistance programme. • Use travel benefits including the cycle-to-work scheme and season ticket loans. • Join an informal social every week, something bigger monthly, and set-piece events in summer and at Christmas.
