Company: Navro – Pioneering the Future of Payments

We're Navro, a rapidly scaling B2B payments startup, and we're looking for a hands‐on, detail‐driven Financial Accountant to support our Finance team. This is your chance to take real ownership of core financial processes and help build the financial backbone of a high‐growth global payments business.

You won't have layers of approval slowing you down. You'll have the freedom to improve processes, solve problems, and make a visible impact from day one. This isn't a passenger role. We're bringing you in for your expertise, ownership mindset, and drive to make things better.

Who We Are: We are transforming payments for global platforms and e‐commerce businesses. As the world's first payments curation platform, we simplify cross‐border transactions by uniting best‐in‐class infrastructure into a seamless ecosystem, enabling businesses to scale and operate effortlessly across borders.

What This Role Demands:

  • You Own It – You're accountable for every reconciliation, every report, and every month‐end close. If something doesn't balance, you fix it.
  • You Ask the Hard Questions – You don't just post journals; you investigate variances, challenge assumptions, and improve financial accuracy.
  • You Fix What's Broken – If a process is manual, unclear, or inefficient, you take the lead in improving it.
  • You're Hands‐On – One minute you're reconciling accounts, the next you're preparing management accounts or supporting the audit.
  • You Thrive in Chaos – Startups move fast. Priorities shift. You bring structure and clarity without slowing things down.
  • You Handle the Pressure – Tight month‐end deadlines, audits, and multiple entities don't faze you. You stay organised and deliver.
  • You're Here for the Journey – This is career‐defining. If you want to grow in a fast‐scaling fintech, this is the place.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Prepare monthly management accounts to the final stage for review by the Head of Finance/CFO.
  • Manage month‐end close processes, including journals, accruals, and reconciliations.
  • Review and validate payroll and expense runs, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
  • Maintain the fixed asset register and ensure correct accounting treatment.
  • Oversee accounts payable:
    • Process and verify supplier invoices
    • Maintain the creditors ledger
    • Perform monthly supplier reconciliations
    • Manage supplier queries and payment runs
  • Support accounts receivable:
    • Prepare and issue customer invoices
    • Monitor and follow up on overdue balances
    • Perform regular bank reconciliations across entities.
  • Produce ad‐hoc financial reports.
  • Support the annual audit and statutory reporting processes.
  • Develop, document, and improve financial processes as the company scales.
  • Contribute to projects across finance, systems, and controls.

What We're Looking For:

  • Qualified – ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent.
  • Startup‐Ready Mindset – Comfortable working in a fast‐paced, evolving environment.
  • Detail‐Obsessed – You take pride in clean reconciliations and accurate reporting.
  • Problem Solver – Strong analytical skills and the confidence to investigate discrepancies.
  • Tool Ninja – Strong Excel skills; experience with NetSuite or similar accounting systems preferred.
  • Collaborator Extraordinaire – You work well with Finance, Operations, Compliance, and external partners.
  • Bias for Action – You see a problem and think about how to solve it.
  • Regulated Environment Experience (Nice to Have) – Experience in fintech, payments, or another regulated industry is an advantage.

As part of this role you will receive the following:

  • 26 days of annual leave (excluding Bank holidays)
  • Volunteering & Compassionate leaves
  • Maternity and Paternity leaves
  • Private Healthcare
  • Company Options Scheme
  • Team socials
  • Comprehensive, interactive & engaging Training - Leadership, Communication and Presentation Skills, Behavioural Profiling, Conflict Management, etc.
