Cloud Capital is redefining how CFOs and engineers manage cloud costs. We’re looking for a detail-oriented and commercially minded Finance Associate to join our growing team. You’ll play a key role in helping us scale our internal operations and deliver actionable insights across finance, sales, and customer success.

This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment and is excited by the opportunity to work in an early-stage startup. It would suit someone who enjoys tackling operational challenges, building processes from the ground up, and shaping how a business scales. You’ll work closely with leadership to analyse data, improve workflows, and help design and implement scalable, efficient processes.

Key Responsibilities

Customer Billing Support:

• Monthly Reconciliations: Perform reconciliations across billing, partner invoices (e.g., Distributors, AWS Marketplace), usage data, and internal reporting.
• Billing Accuracy: Support month-end billing processes and ensure customer invoices match underlying usage, commitments, and savings logic.
• Exception Handling: Investigate discrepancies, resolve data issues, and work with Finance/CS to correct errors.
• Documentation: Maintain clear audit trails and process documentation for all reconciliation and billing workflows.

‍

Finance Support:

• Month-End Close: Support the Finance team with month-end tasks, including journal preparation, reconciliations, and source data validation.
• Financial Reporting: Assist in preparing monthly management accounts.
• Accounts Receivable: Help manage AR processes, including issuing invoices, monitoring outstanding balances, and supporting collections workflows.
• Compliance & Filings: Contribute to quarterly and annual financial filings (e.g., VAT returns, statutory reporting support, audit prep) by gathering data, reconciling schedules, and preparing documentation.

Internal Operations & Enablement:

• Cross-Functional Support: Work closely with Finance, Sales, and Customer Success to streamline internal data flows and reporting consistency.
• System Administration: Help maintain and improve tools such as CRM, billing, and analytics systems to ensure data integrity.
• Process Optimisation and Documentation:  Identify inefficiencies in business workflows and recommend improvements to drive scalability and accuracy
• Project Support: Assist in ad-hoc operational projects, including audits, process transitions, and system integrations.
• Data Analysis: Gather, interpret, and present data to support strategic decision-making.

Experience:

• Recently qualified accountant, or currently working towards a professional finance qualification (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA, AAT). We’re supportive of ongoing study and development as part of the role
• 2+ years’ experience in-house across Business Operations, Finance, or FP&A within a B2B SaaS or cloud-focused business
• Strong analytical skillset with experience supporting billing, reconciliations, or financial operations is highly desirable

Profile:

• Highly organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights
• Strong Google Sheets skills
• Familiarity with Xero, Mayday, and Joiin is a plus
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with leadership and multiple teams

Why Join Cloud Capital?

We’re tackling one of the biggest unsolved problems in SaaS: helping CFOs manage and optimize cloud spend without taking on commitment risk. Backed by $7.7M in funding from top US and European investors, our experienced founding team has lived this pain firsthand, and built and exited companies before.

Our platform is already used by fast-scaling, VC-backed startups spending millions on cloud. It gives finance leaders visibility, control, and savings, without locking them into rigid deals. It’s a uniquely differentiated solution in a huge and growing market. This is a career-defining opportunity with serious upside: equity, benefits, and the chance to shape the company at an early stage.

We move fast, operate with high trust, and believe:

• Truth beats consensus – we surface what’s real, fast.
• Debate is healthy – we challenge ideas, not people, then align and commit.
• Bias for action – we make smart bets and learn by doing.
• Ownership matters – see it, fix it, share it.
  
  

Location

This is a hybrid role currently based in Farringdon, London, with an expectation of ~3 in-office days per week for hands-on team collaboration, faster coaching and culture building. Occasional travel for team offsites and company-wide gatherings is expected.
