The Company

Cledara helps businesses take control of their software subscriptions by providing visibility of software spend, cutting excess costs, and streamlining administrative tasks. Our platform allows companies to focus on what matters most: growing their business.

With over 1,300 customers globally, we are recognized as a leader in the SaaS management space. We are proud to announce that in February 2026, G2 named Cledara one of the Best UK Software Companies. This prestigious recognition follows our success in the G2 Winter 2025 Report, where we earned 16 badges for SaaS Spend and SaaS Operations Management. Our high ratings for usability and customer relationships underscore our commitment to a powerful yet user-friendly product.

We are a product-led company with a clear vision and backed by tier-1 investors, including Notion Capital, Nauta Capital, Anthemis and CommerzVentures. We have a market-leading product with a proven track record and a collaborative team with a high-performance culture. We believe in working hard so we can learn quickly and get better.

The Role

We are looking for a Finance Analyst to join our growing Finance team in London.

This is a hands-on role within a finance function that is undergoing an important period of development and transformation. The successful candidate will take ownership of a broad range of day-to-day finance activities while helping us strengthen processes, controls, reporting and the overall quality of our financial information.

We are looking for someone who is organised, proactive, analytical and hands-on. You should be comfortable working independently, taking ownership of tasks, identifying issues and following them through to resolution.

This is not a purely transactional role. As the Finance function evolves, there will be significant opportunities to improve existing processes, automate recurring activities and take on broader responsibilities.

Key responsibilities

Accounts Receivable & Collections

• Manage the accounts receivable process across the relevant entities.
• Monitor outstanding receivables and support the collections process.
• Perform customer account reconciliations and investigate discrepancies.
• Maintain accurate AR records and ensure transactions are properly recorded.
• Support the team with cash collection and working capital initiatives.
• Identify overdue balances, follow up with relevant stakeholders and elevate issues when required.

Accounts Payable

• Manage the accounts payable process, including invoice processing, coding and posting.
• Ensure invoices are properly approved and recorded in the accounting system.
• Perform supplier account reconciliations and investigate discrepancies.
• Support payment runs and ensure appropriate controls are followed.
• Work with internal teams and suppliers to resolve invoice and payment queries.

Reconciliations & Month-End

• Prepare regular bank, balance sheet and other account reconciliations.
• Support the month-end and year-end closing processes.
• Review accounting records for completeness and accuracy.
• Investigate unusual movements, variances and discrepancies.
• Maintain appropriate supporting documentation and audit trails.
• Assist with the preparation of financial information for management reporting.

Finance Operations & Controls

• Take ownership of assigned finance processes and ensure they are performed accurately and on time.
• Identify gaps, inefficiencies and control weaknesses within existing processes.
• Help document and standardise finance processes and procedures.
• Support the implementation of improved controls and automation.
• Work with external accountants, auditors and tax advisors when required.
• Ensure finance activities are performed consistently across entities and in accordance with relevant policies and requirements.

Reporting & Analysis

• Support the Finance Manager with financial and operational reporting.
• Investigate variances and provide explanations for movements.
• Help improve the quality, consistency and availability of financial data.
• Contribute to the development of Finance KPIs and management reporting as the function evolves.

• 3-6 years of experience in Finance, Accounting, Controlling, FP&A or a similar environment.
• Solid understanding of core accounting and finance principles.
• Practical experience with AR, AP, reconciliations and month-end processes.
• Experience working with accounting systems and financial data.
• Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills.
• Experience working in a multi-entity or international environment is highly desirable.
• Fluent English
• Strong attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture.
• Excellent organisational and time-management skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced and evolving environment.
• Ability to work from our Barcelona office 3 days per week.

Your growth, wellness, and day-to-day experience matter to us. Here is how we set you up for success:

• Training and Development: Cledara provides £500 annually for approved training and development.
• Annual Leave: 25 days of annual leave plus public holidays.
• Private Medical: Access to private medical insurance through BUPA.
