About Apron

Apron was started by a group of people who’d spent years building products for global fintech companies. But there was one big problem no one was solving. Business payments. The kind that buy tomatoes, tools, and till rolls. The kind that keep suppliers happy and business booming. The kind that should be super simple to make and manage, and yet, aren’t. Payments eat up valuable hours every week for both businesses and the accountants and bookkeepers who help them.

About Apron

Apron was started by a group of people who’d spent years building products for global fintech companies. But there was one big problem no one was solving. Business payments. The kind that buy tomatoes, tools, and till rolls. The kind that keep suppliers happy and business booming. The kind that should be super simple to make and manage, and yet, aren’t. Payments eat up valuable hours every week for both businesses and the accountants and bookkeepers who help them.

This is a problem that’s affecting entrepreneurs. Florists and financial analysts. Brewers and brand strategists. The kind of people who build things, break things, change things. Imagine what they could do with this time instead. What would they come up with? What would they create?

That’s why we built Apron as a payments powerhouse. We flip the payment experience from blocking business to boosting it. Apron pulls all things payments together – weaving into your workflow, collating conversations, turning hours into minutes. So you can put those hours to better use – plan the future, take a walk, call your mum.

We are backed by Index Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation of Visionaries Club and the founders of Melio and Klarna.

This role is London-based and may be extended depending on business needs.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Support the finance team with data-driven analysis to inform decision-making
• Write and run SQL queries to extract data for reporting and insight generation
• Use Python to clean, transform, and analyse financial datasets
• Assist in the preparation of monthly financial reports and reconciliations
• Collaborate with other teams (e.g. Product, Operations) to understand business activity and how it impacts financials
• Support ad hoc financial modelling and forecasting projects
