Senior Finance Manager

We’re reinventing payments. In less than four years, Dojo has become the largest and most loved acquirer in the UK. Our payments infrastructure, purpose‑built for in‑person commerce, is game changing. Now, over 150,000 customers across four countries choose to transact billions with us each year. Our people are the driving force behind our success. They are our greatest investment and our ultimate competitive advantage. We hire exceptional people and give them the autonomy, trust, and ownership to thrive.

The role involves owning the integrity of our financial reporting and compliance, developing team capability, driving process improvements, and acting as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders across the business.

What You Will Do

• Lead, coach, and inspire the team by setting clear expectations, giving regular feedback, and actively supporting their professional study and career growth.
• Critically review existing financial workflows, leading automated improvements with finance systems and technology teams to reduce manual effort and scale safely.
• Take ownership of complex technical accounting matters, ensuring compliance with relevant standards (IFRS or UK GAAP) and support the implementation of robust, well‑documented financial controls.
• Lead the preparation of statutory financial statements, ensuring all regulatory filings are completely accurate and submitted on time.
• Act as the primary point of contact for external auditors, managing the audit process efficiently and resolving technical queries with clarity and confidence.
• Partner cross‑functionally to provide clear, practical finance guidance on new product launches, while drafting internal policies that support transparency and accountability.
• Influence upwards by communicating financial insights and process recommendations to senior leadership in a way that drives informed decision‑making.

What You Will Bring

• A professional accounting qualification (such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or an internationally recognised equivalent).
• Experience in an industry finance role (outside of an accountancy practice), ideally within a high‑growth, technology, or fintech environment.
• Direct experience managing and mentoring finance team members with a clear, supportive approach to developing early‑career talent.
• A proven track record of identifying workflow inefficiencies, designing solutions, and managing them through to successful implementation.
• Advanced technical accounting skills with experience handling complex reporting requirements and a strong literacy with finance and ERP systems.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate complex accounting concepts into plain language, write and present with confidence, and build strong relationships.
• A natural, energetic problem‑solver mindset that digs into root causes rather than patching symptoms, while balancing a high standard of accuracy with the speed a scaling business requires.

Cultural aspects: our office‑first culture requires presence 4+ days per week, and we support deep focus, collaboration spaces, and social hubs. We value curiosity, relentlessness, and customer‑obsession. We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion and encourage applications from all backgrounds. If you need any adjustments to support you during the recruitment process, please let us know.
