As well as personal and business bank accounts, we offer joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account and credit cards in the UK, with more exciting things to come beyond. Our UK customers can also save, invest and combine their pensions with us. 

With our hot coral cards and get-paid-early feature, combined with financial education on social media and our award winning customer service, we have a long history of creating magical moments for our customers!

We’re not about selling products - we want to solve problems and change lives through Monzo ❤

London | £45,000 - £57,500, share options +  Benefits | Hear from the team

⭐Our Finance team:

We're looking for a proactive, enthusiastic and commercially-minded accountant to work on our financial accounting, and help us build a world-class finance function. This role would be well suited to a qualified, or soon to qualify, accountant with an audit background.

We have some really exciting challenges coming up like systems implementation, expanding into the European Union, continuing to grow our customer base, keep growing our lending business and adding to our marketplace. You’ll work on scaling Monzo in a controlled way, while helping us optimise our financial accounting processes with the help of technology. You’ll join the Finance team and report to our Financial Control Manager.

🔑You’ll play a key role by...

  • Managing a tight process with our internal Finance team to ensure a swift month-end close process (e.g. managing accruals schedules, calculating effective interest rate adjustments, liaising with our Tax team to post their numbers, etc) and group consolidation
  • Understanding the business and our products to write insightful management commentary
  • 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
  • Assisting with the implementation of our new accounting system to make sure we are taking advantage of all its features to minimise manual elements of reporting
  • Learning SQL skills to run reports and propose solutions that make our processes efficient and scalable
  • Maintaining existing and develop new controls that protect our financial data and our balance sheet substantiation process
  • Supporting our year end process working with external auditors and our Financial Reporting squad
  • Reviewing new products, assessing the accounting and implementing them in our banking platform and accounting system
  • Working with the business to assess the impact of changes in accounting standards and make proposals on accounting policy matters for new products launched
  • Helping maintain the integrity of our chart of accounts and financial static data
  • Resolving miscellaneous inquiries and support the overall finance team wherever needed - from forecasting and valuations, to bank transfers, transfer pricing and tax policy research!

😀 We’d love to hear from you if…

  • You’re a qualified accountant with an audit background, and ideally have had some experience in financial accounting and control outside of practice. Knowledge of banking would be an asset
  • You have a great eye for detail
  • You’re fascinated by the banking and regulatory landscape, and have a good understanding of key financial controls
  • You’re a self-starter and enjoy tackling what needs doing, whether it’s making a bank transfer or pulling together reports for investors
  • You’re comfortable translating complex information into simple words for people with diverse backgrounds
  • You’re interested in using data (SQL skills would be a bonus)
  • You thrive in a dynamic and constantly evolving environment
  • What we’re doing at Monzo excites you!

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. Drop us your application, we’d love to hear from you!

👍What’s in it for you

💰£45,000 - £57,500 ➕ share options.

📍This role can be based in our London office, but we're open to distributed working within the UK (with ad hoc meetings in London) 

⏰We offer flexible working hours and trust you to work enough hours to do your job well, and at times that suit you and your team. 

📚£1,000 learning budget each year to use on books, training courses and conferences.

🏠We will set you up to work from home; all employees are given Macbooks and for fully remote workers we will provide extra support for your work-from-home setup. 

➕ Plus lots more! Read our full list of benefits.

🌈 The application journey has 3 key steps

We’re building the best bank in the world - a bank you'd be proud to use - and that means bringing together a talented team with diverse experiences, backgrounds and skills.

Internally, we encourage an open, collaborative, inclusive working environment. We contribute to open source software, and we continually engage with our wonderful community. We’re hiring talented, creative problem-solvers to help us build the bank of the future.
