Chief Accountant / Head Accountant

Evotym
London

About the Client

A dynamic fintech company creating custom payment solutions for businesses. The company operates as a PSP, providing a modern, scalable platform that supports a wide range of payment methods.

Role Overview

As a Chief Accountant , you will build and scale the finance function from scratch. This is a pivotal role. You will be responsible for creating structured financial frameworks, driving transparency, and supporting the company’s high-growth trajectory.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take full ownership of managerial and operational accounting for the PSP / fintech business.
  • Design and implement a structured financial system and internal processes from the ground up.
  • Drive automation across accounting: for example, in payouts, reconciliations, and reporting.
  • Develop transparent financial reporting, risk-based financial models, and clear unit economics.
  • Collaborate closely with CFO, Treasury, and Analytics teams to align finance operations with broader business objectives.
  • Ensure financial compliance and accuracy across all products, payment flows, and business lines.
  • Build dashboards and analytics to provide financial insights and KPIs for management.
  • Support internal and external audits, and continuously improve financial control processes.

Requirements

  • Significant experience in fintech, PSP, acquiring, or processing business.
  • In-depth understanding of payment flows, settlement, reconciliation, and financial risk.
  • Proven track record in setting up accounting processes from scratch.
  • Advanced Excel skills and familiarity with automation tools (e.g., financial software, RPA, or BI tools).

Key Soft Skills

  • Systems-thinking: ability to design scalable and robust financial systems rather than just “get things done”.
  • Excellent attention to detail, with a strong sense of financial accuracy.
  • Clear, transparent communication skills; able to explain financial concepts to technical and non-financial stakeholders.

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation based on experience and performance.
  • Opportunities for growth and increased responsibility.
  • A structured, transparent, and supportive work environment.
  • Social Benefits.
