Job description

Raisin is the world’s leading platform for savings and investment products. Founded in 2012, the FinTech connects consumers with banks in the EU, the UK and the US. This gives consumers better interest rates and banks a diversified form of refinancing. Our vision is to offer savings and investments without barriers and thus open up the global 160 trillion euro market.

Raisin currently employs more than 800 people from over 75 countries worldwide. Today, the platform holds over 80 billion euros in assets from more than one million investors which have accrued over 5 billion euros in returns.

Team

Our Raisin UK Finance team is expanding, and we are looking for a hands-on, commercially astute Senior Finance Manager to join our Manchester office. Working directly alongside the Head of Finance UK, this is a high-impact individual contributor role designed for an autonomous operator who thrives on ownership, commercial variety, and cross-functional leadership. With a primary emphasis on FP&A and commercial growth, you will bridge strategic forecasting, business partnering, financial reporting, and process automation in a fast-growing fintech scale-up.

Your Responsibilities

Financial Reporting, Controlling & Audit Support

• Own the preparation of timely, high-accuracy monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with UK GAAP/ IFRS, alongside insightful internal management reporting packages.
• Lead core operational accounting workflows, including revenue invoicing, reconciliations, and balance sheet integrity.
• Evaluate, establish, and continuously enhance internal financial controls, governance workflows, and accounting procedures.
• Serve as a key operational point of contact for internal and external auditors, ensuring smooth, efficient audit cycles and statutory compliance.
• Conduct ad-hoc financial evaluations and commercial business cases requested by local executive leadership and central Group Finance.
• Partner closely with Business Development (BD) and Relationship Managers (RMs) to model, anticipate, and stress-test future Assets on Platform (AoP) volumes, evaluate growth bottlenecks, and unlock new revenue expansion opportunities.
• Possess end-to-end knowledge of core accounting functions to provide seamless interim coverage and operational backfill across the finance team when needed.

Financial Planning, Forecasting & Commercial Analysis

• Drive regular financial forecasting cycles, variance analyses, and the annual budgeting process for the UK business.
• Deliver regular, actionable analyses of trading performance, unit economics, and underlying revenue trends to inform operational strategy.
• Conduct ad-hoc financial and commercial analyses requested by local leadership and central Group Finance stakeholders.

Finance Business Partnering & System Architecture

• Act as a trusted finance partner to commercial teams and operational leaders, guiding budget holders on spend optimization, ROI, and resource allocation.
• Champion financial process automation and AI adoption—leveraging modern workflow tools and AI-driven solutions to automate reporting, revenue recognition, invoicing, and billing cycles.
• Support the ongoing evolution of our controlling systems landscape and internal reporting architecture.
• Champion financial process automation—particularly around revenue recognition, invoicing, and billing workflows.
• Support local rollout and implementation of group-wide finance tools and enterprise systems.

Your Profile

• Relevant Experience: 4+ years of progressive experience in roles such as Financial Controller, Senior Management Accountant, or FP&A / Controlling, ideally within a scaling fintech, tech platform, or dynamic high-growth business. Equally ideal opportunity for anyone currently operating at a Managerial grade within a Big 4 accounting/audit firm and considering a change.
• Education & Professional Foundation: University degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related discipline. A recognized professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) is a distinct advantage.
• Technical Accounting Standards: Deep practical understanding of UK GAAP; working knowledge of IFRS is highly desirable.
• Analytical & Modeling Proficiency: Strong quantitative mindset with advanced financial modeling capabilities, high attention to detail, and a structured, self-directed working style.
• Systems & Digital Affinity: Strong tech acumen and proficiency with spreadsheet tools (MS Excel, Google Sheets) and modern ERP software (experience with Oracle NetSuite is a strong plus).
• Cross-Functional Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to distill complex financial contexts into clear, actionable narratives for non-finance stakeholders.
• Agility & Ownership: Proven ability to operate effectively and maintain exceptional accuracy in a fast-paced environment where problem-solving, adaptability, and execution matter.
