Goodman Masson is supporting a fast-scaling fintech platform on the search for a Head of Finance to join its London-based leadership team.

Following an acquisition, the company has cemented itself as a leading digital provider of inclusive financial products across the UK and Europe. With a significant number of customers and a roadmap focused on scaling operations and expanding product lines, this is a pivotal time to join the business.

This newly-created role will report into the CFO and hold end-to-end responsibility for finance – spanning FP&A, controls, treasury, and compliance – while acting as a key business partner to product and commercial teams. You’ll be instrumental in building scalable financial infrastructure, improving decision-making, and enabling sustainable growth across the UK and EU.

The successful candidate will be hands-on, commercially driven, and confident operating in fast-paced, high-transaction environments. A background in regulated financial services, private equity-backed or venture-backed firms would be particularly relevant.

This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-led fintech at a time of strategic growth and help shape the financial future of a business focused on increasing access to essential banking services.

Unfortunately, the company is not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead all core finance functions, including FP&A, financial reporting, budgeting, cashflow management, treasury, and regulatory compliance;
• Develop and embed scalable financial processes, systems, and controls across the business;
• Partner with the CFO and leadership team to provide financial insight and scenario modelling for strategic decision-making;
• Deliver timely, accurate management reporting, board packs, and statutory accounts;
• Maintain strong relationships with external auditors, banks, and financial partners;
• Oversee investor and funding-related reporting, including due diligence requirements;
• Support commercial teams with unit economics, pricing, and profitability analysis;
• Lead and grow a high-performing finance team within a mission-driven, collaborative environment.

Skills & Experience:

• Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with 8+ years’ experience;
• Strong FP&A and strategic finance exposure, ideally gained in a high-growth fintech, tech-enabled, or regulated financial services environment;
• Proven experience leading finance teams, driving process improvement, and implementing scalable systems;
• Strong commercial acumen and confidence business partnering across teams and seniority levels;
• Familiarity with UK/EU regulatory frameworks (e.g. EMIs, payment institutions, or digital banking) is highly advantageous;
• High level of systems literacy (NetSuite, Xero, or similar) and data analytical ability;
• Experience in high-transaction volume settings or understanding of the customer lifecycle would be beneficial.
