The Opportunity
We’re partnering with a high-growth fintech bank based in the heart of London’s Square Mile to appoint a Senior Financial Accountant.
This is not a traditional reporting role.
We’re looking for a fully qualified accountant who is as passionate about process optimisation, automation, and AI-enabled efficiency as they are about technical accounting and regulatory reporting. This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking finance team where innovation is actively encouraged — not just talked about.
If you’re someone who sees repetitive processes and immediately thinks “this can be smarter”, this role is for you.

• Identify inefficiencies across finance processes and implement automation solutions
• Leverage AI tools and emerging technologies to streamline reporting, reconciliations, and analysis
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives across the finance function
• Support audit processes and stakeholder engagement
This role combines strong technical accounting with transformation and innovation.
