Finance Manager

As a key member of the Finance team, you will be supporting the Director of Financial Control and Reporting with a broad range of tasks and responsibilities, from team management and financial reporting duties to leading business-wide projects. You should be a proactive, motivated individual with a drive to deliver high-quality outputs, technical insight, and a strong control mindset.

As DF Capital is a regulated bank and listed on the London Stock Exchange, you will gain exposure to a variety of reporting requirements, such as year-end accounts, interim results, trading updates, Board & ExCo reporting, monthly management accounts, and quarterly and annual taxation returns. You will also assist the Director of Financial Control and Reporting in other typical areas covered by the Financial Control function, such as cost centre reporting, forecast analysis, project budget tracking, and risk management. By being confident, competent, and well organised, the Director of Financial Control and Reporting should feel encouraged to delegate entire workstreams to you.

DF Capital is a progressive bank with big ambitions. The business invests heavily into its systems and products as it strives to deliver its strategic objectives for customers and shareholders. You will play a key part in delivering these projects by representing the team’s requirements and interests to ensure these are captured within the project, including from a tax perspective. In this role, you will form part of working groups, gain cross-departmental exposure, and build strong business relationships with non-Finance colleagues.

You should embrace Technology and Change with a thirst to understand how our systems work and how you can extract more from them. You will be excited to work alongside our Change, Automation and MI teams to improve Finance processes and controls. You will be confident challenging current financial control processes and using automation tools and AI to drive improvements and efficiencies.

You will be an excellent communicator, able to express your opinion and ideas to all levels of management. At times you will need to convince others of your way of thinking, so you must compose a strong viewpoint and use your negotiation skills to convince others. You will assist the Director of Financial Control and Reporting in preparing well-written internal compliance documents such as policies, accounting memos, internal SOPs, or model governance.
