About The Role
Cleo’s headcount is increasing, our products are expanding, and we’re working across more locations! As a result, our transaction volumes are growing – more suppliers, more employee expenses, and more settlements within the product itself.
As such, we’re looking for an Accounts Assistant to join the team, to support us across our UK and US entities.
This is an ideal role for a candidate who is early in their finance career – this is an excellent opportunity to support with critical accounting tasks, but also to learn more about the month end close process from more senior members of the team.

- Month end support, particularly in areas such as prepayments and accruals
- Support on settlement reconciliations as our user base grows
- Maintenance of the AP ledger and creditor records
- Daily bank transfers and daily wallet transfers across the UK and US entities
- Participation in projects to automate and improve processes, as well as wider Core Finance projects
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years experience in an Accounts Payable, or Accounts Assistant role
- Confidence posting daily bank transactions and performing bank reconciliations across multiple accounts
- Experience preparing payment runs and processing domestic and international bank transfers
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage high-volume transactional work accurately
- Knowledge of month-end accounting processes, including prepayments, accruals and balance sheet reconciliations

- A clear progression plan. We want you to keep growing. That means trying new things, leading others, challenging the status quo and owning your impact. Always with our complete support.
- Flexibility. We can’t fight for the world’s financial health if we’re not healthy ourselves. We work with everyone to make sure they have the balance they need to do their best work
- Hybrid-first: This is a London-based, hybrid role where we blend the best of both remote and in-office work. We expect our team members to be in our London office 1-2 times a week. On Wednesdays, we buy you lunch but you can come to the office on whichever days work best for you!
