⭐ Our Finance team

We're looking for an experienced, highly proactive, and commercially-minded Financial Reporting Manager to deliver our financial reporting, and help us build a world-class finance function. This role would be well suited to a qualified Chartered Accountant with an audit background, either recently promoted to manager at an audit firm or with solid experience working at a public interest entity, ideally a retail bank.

We have some really exciting challenges coming up like system implementations, expanding into the European Union, enhancing climate change reporting, continuing to grow our UK customer base and business, growing our lending, business banking and marketplace businesses. You’ll work on scaling Monzo in a controlled way, while helping us optimise our financial reporting processes with the help of technology. You’ll join the Finance team and report to our Senior Financial Reporting Manager.

🔑 You’ll play a key role by...

  • Overseeing monthly, quarterly and annual financial reporting processes.
  • Ensuring compliance with IFRS, FRS 101 and company accounting policies, leading the implementation of new accounting standards and disclosure requirements, including those around ESG reporting.
  • Supporting the production, review and delivery of our annual report, consolidated financial statements and external financial reporting.
  • Working with our external auditors during audits.
  • Maintaining internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR), protecting our financial data and our balance sheet substantiation process.
  • Managing and mentoring more junior team members involved in the reporting process.
  • Collaborating with FP&A, tax, treasury, and other cross-functional teams to gather data and align reporting.
  • Working with our engineers and data teams to automate the production elements of this role, allowing you to focus on the parts of the role where your knowledge and skills provide the most value.
  • Supporting tight processes with our finance control team to ensure a swift month-end close process, particularly those around complex areas such as share options, provisions and financial instruments. 
  • Assisting with the implementation of new systems, including our new accounting system to ensure we are taking advantage of all its features to minimise manual elements of reporting.

🤩 We’d love to hear from you if…

  • You’re a qualified chartered accountant (ACA or CA) with an audit background and have minimum 3 to 4 years post qual experience.
  • You have been promoted to manager and ideally have had some experience in financial reporting and control outside of practice. 
  • You’re fascinated by the banking and regulatory landscape, and have a good understanding of key financial controls.
  • You have excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including engagement with senior management and auditors.
  • You’re interested in using data (SQL skills would be a bonus).
  • You thrive in a dynamic and constantly evolving environment.

Nice to have (one or more)

  • Experience in a listed company or financial services regulated entity.
  • US reporting / SOX compliance.
  • Strong business partnering/ commercial finance acumen.
  • ESG reporting / audit of sustainability information (carbon footprint calculation, CFD/ CSRD/ TCFD).

Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! Studies show that women and people of colour might hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement. At Monzo, we’re dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming team. If you’re passionate about this role and keen to learn and grow with us, we encourage you to apply— even if you don’t have everything that's listed just yet.
