About the role
We’re on a mission to make affordable loans available to more people. Using the power of Open Banking, we have built state-of-the-art technology that allows us to look beyond traditional credit scores and offer fairer credit to people ignored by traditional lenders.
We have two parts of our business. On the consumer side, we have Abound. Abound has proven that our approach works at scale, with over £300 million lent to-date. While other lenders only look at your credit score, we use Open Banking to look at the full picture - what you earn, how you spend, and what’s left at the end.
On the B2B side, we have Render. Render is our award-winning software-as-a-service platform that allows Abound to make better, less risky lending decisions. And less risky decisions mean we can offer customers better rates than they can usually find elsewhere. We’re taking Render global so that more companies, from high-street banks to other fintechs, can offer affordable credit to their customers.
About the role:
We are seeking a newly qualified or part qualified finance analyst to join our dynamic team in London. Reporting to the Senior Finance Manager, the successful candidate will assist in managing day-to-day financial operations of the company. This role will involve processing transactions, maintaining financial records, preparing reports, and providing general accounting support to the finance team. The ideal candidate should have a good understanding of accounting principles and be detail-oriented with strong analytical skills.
