Job description

Finance Assistant

Location: London, UK (Hybrid: 2 days per week in the office)
Company: Navro – Pioneering the Future of Payments

Finance Assistant: Navigating Numbers

We’re Navro, a rapidly scaling B2B payments startup, and we’re looking for an organised, detailed, self-starter to provide crucial support to our Finance Department. This is your chance to play a key role in core financial activities, ensuring high standards of accuracy, efficiency, and regulatory compliance in day-to-day operations. You'll contribute directly to Navro’s mission as a leading, regulated provider of payment solutions for corporates and online marketplaces.

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. Cross-border workforce payments are slow, expensive, and outdated. We can’t be. Businesses rely on us to pay their people accurately and on time - contractors, freelancers, and employees across the globe. When we say we’ll deliver, failure isn’t an option. If we don’t do what we said we would, people don’t get paid - not just a transaction delayed, but real workers left without wages. That means a developer in Argentina missing their paycheck, a freelancer in the Philippines unable to pay rent, or a contractor in Poland unable to get to work. No excuses. No passengers. No tolerance for politics or mediocrity.

What This Role Demands:

You Own It – You’re accountable for every reconciliation, every payment, and every report. If a discrepancy arises, it’s on you to fix it.

You Ask the Hard Questions – You don’t just process transactions; you challenge assumptions, investigate discrepancies, and make our financial operations better. Why this figure? Why not another way?

You Fix What’s Broke – No waiting for permission. If a process is clunky or a record is inconsistent, you dive in and solve it.

You’re Hands-On – One minute you’re performing bank reconciliations, the next you’re assisting with month-end closing or preparing tax filings.

You Thrive in Chaos – Startups are messy. Priorities shift, deadlines are constant, and ambiguity is common. You bring clarity without getting bogged down by rigid processes.

You Handle the Pressure – Fast-paced. High stakes. You balance multiple recurring deadlines, manage sensitive financial data, and keep moving forward.

You’re Here for the Journey – This is career-defining. It’s hard, rewarding, and not for the faint-hearted. If you’re ready to grow alongside Navro, let’s build something amazing together.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Perform bank reconciliations, ensuring all transactions are recorded accurately and discrepancies are investigated and resolved timely.
• Assist in the creation of invoices and ensure timely communication with clients regarding invoicing and payment queries.
• Process accounts payable and receivable transactions, ensuring all payments are made accurately and on time.
• Assist with month-end and year-end closing processes, including journal entries and account reconciliations.
• Support the preparation of tax filings and compliance with tax regulations.
• Assist in the processing of payroll.
• Maintain up-to-date records for all financial transactions, ensuring documentation is readily available for audit and regulatory review.
• Provide administrative support for compiling financial data and preparing regulatory submissions, such as CBI reports and final financial statements.
• Liaise with the compliance and operations teams to ensure adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) controls during all finance processes.
• Support queries from internal stakeholders (e.g., Operations, Compliance, Customer Support) and external auditors as required.
• Support in onboarding and offboarding processes, including the administration of client and supplier accounts.
• Assisting in ad-hoc projects.

What We’re Looking For:

• Detail-Obsessed – You don’t miss a thing. Your attention to detail and accuracy are paramount.
• Problem Solver – You have strong numerical and analytical skills, capable of investigating and resolving discrepancies.
• Collaborator Extraordinary – You work effectively in a cross-functional team, liaising seamlessly with compliance, operations, and other stakeholders.
• Proactive & Trustworthy – You take initiative, manage multiple deadlines, and handle confidential/sensitive financial data with discretion.
• Tool Ninja – Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and general office software; experience with NetSuite is an advantage.
• Foundational Experience – Previous experience in a similar finance or accounting role within a regulated financial or payments services environment is preferred but not essential.

Regulatory and Company Requirements:

• Support the finance team’s responsibilities as outlined in Navro’s policies on AML, CTF, and client funds safeguarding.
• Participate in training as required, including ongoing best practice in financial operations, data protection, and regulatory compliance.

You may not possess every single required skill listed, and that's perfectly fine. If you have most of them, along with grit, passion, a desire to learn quickly, and the willingness to get stuck in, we encourage you to apply.
