Senior Finance Manager

Dojo is a fast-growing fintech business on a mission to transform how businesses take payments and manage their finances. Our teams are passionate, ambitious, and driven by the belief that technology should make commerce simpler for everyone. As we scale across the UK and beyond, we are building a Finance function that matches that ambition — rigorous, forward-thinking, and deeply connected to the business.

The role 

As Senior Finance Manager, you will be a cornerstone of our Finance team — bringing technical excellence, commercial thinking, and leadership to a talented group of early-career finance professionals.

This is a hands-on management role as much as a technical one. You will own the integrity of our financial reporting and compliance while simultaneously developing the capability and confidence of your team, driving process improvements that make us faster and more accurate, and acting as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders across the business.

We are looking for someone who has moved out of practice into industry, who has seen what good looks like, and who is motivated by the opportunity to build something excellent.

What you will do… 

• Lead, coach, and inspire the team by setting clear expectations, giving regular feedback, and actively supporting their professional study and career growth.
• Critically review existing financial workflows, leading automated improvements with finance systems and technology teams to reduce manual effort and scale safely.
• Take ownership of complex technical accounting matters ensuring compliance with relevant standards (IFRS or UK GAAP) and support the implementation of robust, well-documented financial controls.
• Lead the preparation of statutory financial statements, ensuring all regulatory filings are completely accurate and submitted on time.
• Act as the primary point of contact for external auditors, managing the audit process efficiently and resolving technical queries with clarity and confidence.
• Partner cross-functionally to provide clear, practical finance guidance on new product launches, while drafting internal policies that support transparency and accountability.
• Influence upwards by communicating financial insights and process recommendations to senior leadership in a way that drives informed decision-making.

What you will bring... 

• A professional accounting qualification (such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or an internationally recognised equivalent).
• Experience in an industry finance role (outside of an accountancy practice), ideally within a high-growth, technology, or fintech environment.
• Direct experience managing and mentoring finance team members with a clear, supportive approach to developing early-career talent.
• A proven track record of identifying workflow inefficiencies, designing solutions, and managing them through to successful implementation.
• Advanced technical accounting skills with experience handling complex reporting requirements and a strong literacy with finance and ERP systems.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate complex accounting concepts into plain language, write and present with confidence, and build strong relationships.
• A natural, energetic problem-solver mindset that digs into root causes rather than patching symptoms, while balancing a high standard of accuracy with the speed a scaling business requires.
