Salary: GBP 40,000–60,000

Workplace: hybrid

Department: fin-house (careers page)

Description

At fin-house, we're fuelling start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs with awesome finance teams.

The problem: The current go-to for start-ups and SMEs is outsourcing their finance team to accountancy firms who are very far removed from the business and often simply produce numbers without context.

Our solution: At fin-house, we deliver 'in-house'. This means our clients will have a team IN their business, providing proactive insight, advice and commercial support, enabling them to make the right decisions at the right time. We make sure our clients get the finance function they need, when they need it, seamlessly integrated into their business.

The key bits

Location: We are based in Waterloo (London) with a minimum of three days in the office a week

Salary: Between £40,000 - £60,000 depending on experience

Role summary

Our fin-managers own the monthly close across their portfolio, ensuring every figure is accurate, explained and delivered on time. They strengthen processes and controls, so the finance function runs smoothly, consistently and with confidence. Working across multiple clients, they manage priorities, stakeholders and junior team members to keep momentum high and standards sharp. At fin-house, our fin-managers turn strong foundations into meaningful insight – translating numbers into clear direction, better decisions and real impact for our clients.
