Senior Financial Accountant

About the role

Modulr is the payments automation platform that streamlines money movement with accuracy, control and reliability - built to scale. We process more than 200m transactions and over £180bn in payment value on an annualised basis, and we're trusted by over 6,000 businesses from fast-growing SMEs to global enterprises. We automate how money moves into and out of a business - payroll, supplier payments, spend management and payment collection - through a single platform, connected to the accounting and payroll systems finance teams already use and underpinned by principal memberships of Visa and Mastercard and direct access to central bank infrastructure. As a regulated payments provider with over a decade of experience, we're the platform finance teams trust to run mission-critical operations. Modulr is backed by PayPal, FIS, General Atlantic, Blenheim Chalcot, Frog Capital and Highland Europe, with over 400 employees across London, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Mumbai and Pune. Purpose of the Role This role exists to own the detailed financial control and reporting execution across Modulr's group entities - end to end, with minimal supervision, to a standard that is audit-ready every month. You will take full hands-on responsibility for the areas currently held at senior leadership level: the group management accounts, balance sheet reconciliations, controls execution, intercompany and cross-border accounting, and the systems and processes that underpin them. This is not a support role. You will be the person who gets it done - accurately, on time, with the controls mindset and risk to recognise when escalation is required, and the judgement to manage most situations independently. The Financial Control leadership team will rely on you as a trusted execution counterpart, freeing them to focus on oversight, stakeholder management and strategic priorities. You will also play an active role in improving how the team works, using AI and automation to reduce manual effort and increase the consistency and quality of financial reporting across the function .

Responsibilities

• Group Management Accounts & Close
• Own the full month-end close process across all group entities - journals, accruals, prepayments, revenue recognition and intercompany accounting - from first entry to completed management accounts pack.
• Produce the monthly consolidated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow with accurate variance analysis and commentary ready for senior review.
• Own and maintain the group management accounts model (currently excel-based, with a clear roadmap to full process automation), keeping it robust, well-controlled and clearly documented.
• Manage the group consolidation process including intercompany eliminations, minority interests and multi-currency translation.
• Meet the close timetable every month across time zones, managing competing priorities independently and escalating risks early with context and a recommended course of action.
• Balance Sheet Reconciliations
• Own all balance sheet reconciliations across group entities - fully supported, clearly evidenced and audit-ready every month, not just at year end.
• Ensure every reconciliation is complete and reviewable at any point in the month, with reconciling items identified, owned and resolved promptly.
• Use AI tooling to support reconciliation processes - automating matching, flagging anomalies and reducing time spent on manual review.
• Financial Controls & Risk
• Operate with an audit and controls mindset across everything you produce - complete, accurate, clearly evidenced and reviewable by a third party at any point.
• Own and manage the period close process - maintaining a clear close checklist, tracking progress across all entities and tasks, ensuring nothing is missed and the timetable is met every month without exception.
• Identify and escalate period close risks early - with context, a clear assessment of impact and a recommended course of action, not just a flag.
• Take ownership of assigned areas within Modulr's internal control framework, identifying gaps or weaknesses proactively and raising them with recommended remediation.
• Ensure source data in NetSuite and upstream systems is accurate, well-documented and consistently maintained.
• Support internal and external audit processes, producing well-evidenced responses to queries and ensuring nothing needs rework.
• Cross-Border & Intercompany Accounting
• Own the end-to-end intercompany accounting process across group entities, ensuring transactions are accurately recorded, reconciled and eliminated on consolidation.
