Do you want to work in embedded payments where you can keep learning and developing whilst getting hands-on experience?
Do you want to have the opportunity to play an important role in a rapidly growing and exciting Fintech business?
Modulr is the payments automation platform that streamlines money movement with accuracy, control and reliability — built to scale. We automate how money moves into and out of a business — payroll, supplier payments, spend management and payment collection — through a single platform, connected to the accounting and payroll systems finance teams already use and underpinned by principal memberships of Visa and Mastercard and direct access to central bank infrastructure.
As a regulated payments provider with over a decade of experience, we’re the platform finance teams trust to run mission-critical operations. This role exists to own the detailed financial control and reporting execution across Modulr’s group entities - end to end, with minimal supervision, to a standard that is audit-ready every month. You will take full hands-on responsibility for the areas currently held at senior leadership level: the group management accounts, balance sheet reconciliations, controls execution, intercompany and cross-border accounting, and the systems and processes that underpin them.
You will be the person who gets it done – accurately, on time, with the controls mindset and risk to recognise when escalation is required, and the judgement to manage most situations independently. The Financial Control leadership team will rely on you as a trusted execution counterpart, freeing them to focus on oversight, stakeholder management and strategic priorities.
You will also play an active role in improving how the team works, using AI and automation to reduce manual effort and increase the consistency and quality of financial reporting across the function .
