The Business

Harmonic are partnered with a rapidly scaling fintech in their search for a Head of Reporting & Financial Operations to join the senior leadership team.

Their innovative consumer platform brings together a range of financial services into a single, easy-to-use product, which has led to the business growing significantly over the last few years, scaling from 100 to 450+ heads, and now generating over £100m in revenue. Backed by top-tier investors, the business has been profitable for the last two years and is gearing for a potential IPO or strategic exit in the near future.

The company has maintained a collaborative, mission-driven culture throughout its scale-up journey, with flat hierarchies and high levels of cross-functional exposure, including regular interaction with the co-founders and C-suite.

You'll lead on technical accounting, financial controls, and reporting governance, while also overseeing day-to-day operations across AP, AR, payroll, and tax. A key part of the role will be enabling change and leading transformation projects that support efficiency, scalability, and data integrity.
