Finance Operations Manager

Finance Operations Manager - ClearAccept

Before you apply: this role requires direct experience working inside a payment services business: an acquirer, PSP, or payment facilitator. A financial services or accounting background alone does not meet the brief.

ClearAccept is a regulated UK payment institution in the acquiring space. We're growing, which means this role is as much about building as it is about running. There's real scope here to shape how things work, not just maintain them.

Requirements

What you'll own:

Daily client fund reconciliation and CASS 15 regulatory reporting

End-to-end merchant invoicing and acquirer commission reconciliation

Month-end close, P&L revenue analysis, and input into forecasting and budget

Aged debt, credit control, and billing query resolution

Transactional cost monitoring across the merchant portfolio

Annual audit lead for the finance business unit

A team of three - priorities, performance, and continuity

What we need from you:

5+ years in finance operations inside a payments business - acquirer, PSP, or PayFac. Broader financial services experience does not substitute for this

Hands-on knowledge of CASS 15, client fund safeguarding, and acquirer settlement

Familiarity with card scheme fee structures and merchant billing processes

Experience managing a finance operations team

Proficient in NetSuite or a comparable ERP

Strong Excel - pivots, lookups, large-scale data manipulation

PCI DSS Level 1 environment experience

Direct Debit processes and file formats

Collaboration with product or tech teams on finance tooling and automation
