Finance Manager

• Own the day-to-day engine room of finance at one of the UK's fastest-growing consumer-tech businesses, from high-volume reconciliations through to month-end. • Help design the controls, systems, and automation that let Nous scale with near-zero defects. • Work on a genuine controller-track opportunity: get this right and the path to Financial Controller and beyond is clear.

• Bring around 5 years or more of relevant finance experience, from practice (Big 4, audit or advisory) or a strong industry background. • Have a clear, demonstrable history of high performance — academic, professional, or both. • Hold a STEM or analytical background or degree with a genuinely analytical mind. • Have a real love of accounting and be comfortable being hands-on in the detail of reconciliations, invoicing, and month-end. • Demonstrate high agency and first-principles problem-solving in fast-changing environments. • Be qualified (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) with at least 2–3 years PQE, or equivalent. • Have hands-on familiarity with databases and data tooling such as Power BI, Looker, Omni, Amplitude, or Tableau, and be comfortable using modern data tooling beyond Excel and traditional accounting systems like Xero or NetSuite.

• Actively use AI tools in day-to-day work such as Claude Code or similar. • Have 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. • Have exposure to a first audit or to building controls in a scaling business.

• Own the high-volume reconciliations at the heart of the business, ensuring customer, supplier, and provider transactions reconcile cleanly and accurately. • 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, driving speed, accuracy, and scale as volumes grow. • Maintain consistent, up-to-date, and accurate financial records, being the go-to person on the historical financial source of truth. • Lead the month-end close and prepare timely, accurate 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, and help lead it through, its first external audit. • 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 that support Nous's geographic and product expansion. • Support the Head of Finance on investor reporting and the reporting infrastructure that underpins it.

• Receive a compelling package including share options with life-changing upside. • Work from a great office in Farringdon set up for collaborative working. • Get the equipment, setup, and training you need to do your best work. • Enjoy a high-context environment with lots of exposure to big decisions. • Have flexibility around remote work when you need to get your head down. • Take 33 days paid holidays including bank holidays. • Access health and dental cash plans including an employee assistance programme. • Use travel benefits including the cycle-to-work scheme and season ticket loans. • Enjoy a well-stocked kitchen and informal weekly socials, monthly events, and set-piece summer and Christmas events.
