Description Hello, we're Starling. We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way. We're a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company. We're a bank, but better: fairer, easier to use and designed to demystify money for everyone. We employ more than 4,000 people across our London, Southampton, Cardiff and Manchester offices. We are looking for a high-impact Senior Finance Manager to lead our Group month-end close and support our transformation roadmap. This is a dual-focus role: ensuring the month-end close is done accurately and on-time today, while helping with the AI-augmented, automated finance function of tomorrow. This is a senior position and would suit someone with significant post qualification experience (PQE) who is looking for a unique challenge to drive further performance from an already high performing and talented team while shaping the design and the future ways of working for the Management Reporting function away from just reporting towards being a strategic partner for the Group. We are looking for a candidate with financial close experience and strong technical knowledge of IFRS 15, IFRS 2 and IFRS 10 gained through extensive experience in international fintech or banking groups. Further to this, experience of leading a high performing team is also a necessary requirement. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate a 'risk-first' mindset, proactively identifying control gaps in our IFRS accounting and designing and implementing appropriate controls and automated solutions to mitigate those risks before they impact the month-end close. In addition the candidate will partner with Tax to oversee the operational execution of the Group's Transfer Pricing policy, ensuring intercompany recharges and margins are accurately reflected in management accounts. The ideal candidate will have an analytical mindset, be someone who is able to communicate clearly, ask thoughtful questions, and look to identify opportunities for improvement as they arise. Responsibilities Lead Month-End Close: Own the timely and accurate reporting of the Group's financial performance as part of the month-end close process. This includes ensuring key deadlines are met and driving ongoing improvement in the process while ensuring accuracy. In addition, the ideal candidate will oversee the operation of the Group Transfer Pricing model and own the automation and streamlining of the Balance Sheet Reconciliation process. Technical Leadership: Ensure the accurate application of IFRS 15 and IFRS 2 accounting standards across the Group's Management Reporting responsibilities whilst also providing support and guidance to the team in building their expertise in these areas. Group Consolidation: Working directly with the Group Statutory reporting team to ensure appropriate consolidation of the Group entities including correct accounting within the Group's international subsidiaries and branches in line with IFRS 10. Control Environment: Ensuring the control environment around Management Reporting remains robust, identifying any weaknesses as they become apparent through applying a risk-mindset to all of the team's activities. Drive Efficiencies: Proactively identify and implement improvements to the month-end and other financial control processes. This will be through new system implementations, current system improvements or general process efficiencies. Stakeholder Management: Take responsibility for representing the Management Reporting team internally within the wider organisation and externally with key stakeholders such as external auditors and third party advisors. Team Culture: Working with the Head of Management Reporting to embed a culture of continuous improvement within the team, helping to identify areas of efficiency in all areas of the team's reporting responsibilities and empowering the team to drive this change themselves. Requirements A qualified chartered accountant with at least 10 years PQE with part of this in a listed, multinational firm in a similar role.

Description Hello, we're Starling. We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way. We're a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company. We're a bank, but better: fairer, easier to use and designed to demystify money for everyone. We employ more than 4,000 people across our London, Southampton, Cardiff and Manchester offices. We are looking for a high-impact Senior Finance Manager to lead our Group month-end close and support our transformation roadmap. This is a dual-focus role: ensuring the month-end close is done accurately and on-time today, while helping with the AI-augmented, automated finance function of tomorrow. This is a senior position and would suit someone with significant post qualification experience (PQE) who is looking for a unique challenge to drive further performance from an already high performing and talented team while shaping the design and the future ways of working for the Management Reporting function away from just reporting towards being a strategic partner for the Group. We are looking for a candidate with financial close experience and strong technical knowledge of IFRS 15, IFRS 2 and IFRS 10 gained through extensive experience in international fintech or banking groups. Further to this, experience of leading a high performing team is also a necessary requirement. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate a 'risk-first' mindset, proactively identifying control gaps in our IFRS accounting and designing and implementing appropriate controls and automated solutions to mitigate those risks before they impact the month-end close. In addition the candidate will partner with Tax to oversee the operational execution of the Group's Transfer Pricing policy, ensuring intercompany recharges and margins are accurately reflected in management accounts. The ideal candidate will have an analytical mindset, be someone who is able to communicate clearly, ask thoughtful questions, and look to identify opportunities for improvement as they arise. Responsibilities Lead Month-End Close: Own the timely and accurate reporting of the Group's financial performance as part of the month-end close process. This includes ensuring key deadlines are met and driving ongoing improvement in the process while ensuring accuracy. In addition, the ideal candidate will oversee the operation of the Group Transfer Pricing model and own the automation and streamlining of the Balance Sheet Reconciliation process. Technical Leadership: Ensure the accurate application of IFRS 15 and IFRS 2 accounting standards across the Group's Management Reporting responsibilities whilst also providing support and guidance to the team in building their expertise in these areas. Group Consolidation: Working directly with the Group Statutory reporting team to ensure appropriate consolidation of the Group entities including correct accounting within the Group's international subsidiaries and branches in line with IFRS 10. Control Environment: Ensuring the control environment around Management Reporting remains robust, identifying any weaknesses as they become apparent through applying a risk-mindset to all of the team's activities. Drive Efficiencies: Proactively identify and implement improvements to the month-end and other financial control processes. This will be through new system implementations, current system improvements or general process efficiencies. Stakeholder Management: Take responsibility for representing the Management Reporting team internally within the wider organisation and externally with key stakeholders such as external auditors and third party advisors. Team Culture: Working with the Head of Management Reporting to embed a culture of continuous improvement within the team, helping to identify areas of efficiency in all areas of the team's reporting responsibilities and empowering the team to drive this change themselves. Requirements A qualified chartered accountant with at least 10 years PQE with part of this in a listed, multinational firm in a similar role.
