Job description

Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech. Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.

You will work with a deep understanding of how accountants operate, such as day-to-day reconciliation, VAT and payroll processing, and cash flow advisory across a portfolio of clients, and bring that expertise to bear on a product that is both ambitious and grounded in what accountants and their SME clients actually need.
