About the Role
We're looking for an organised and proactive Accounts Receivable & Finance Executive to become the first dedicated Accounts Receivable hire within our growing finance team.
Reporting directly to the Financial Controller, you'll take ownership of the complete invoicing process—from Monday.com through to Xero—ensuring invoices are accurate, payments are collected promptly, and client relationships remain strong.
This is far more than a traditional finance administration role. You'll become the finance team's primary point of contact for clients and data partners while supporting month-end reporting, VAT compliance, financial controls and process improvements.
If you enjoy taking ownership, thrive in a fast-paced environment and want to play a key role in building a finance function from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.

Process Improvement
