FinOps Analyst

Embarrassed to call yourself an accountant? Don’t worry - you’re not alone.

Accounting is stuck in the past.

So, we get stuck doing boring, monotonous work as a small cog in tedious firms, or struggling to make an impact in businesses that don’t really care.

RORA was founded to improve the career options for Accountants. We promise impact, variety and progression.  We’re looking for those who crave more - more responsibility and more impact - and want to keep progressing and learning with a group of people just like them.

The role
We’re hiring for a FinOps Analyst to be embedded remotely across multiple UK startups and scaleups. You'll be involved in the day-to-day running of each partner, taking care of the accountancy fundamentals, whilst also iterating and improving processes through automation and technology.

We’re currently at capacity for FinOps Analysts, but new opportunities are coming soon. We’re opening this role early so we’re ready to move quickly when they do and expect our next intake to be around March/April 2026.

Here's what the role looks like: 

• Own finance operations: Oversee finance essentials including bookkeeping, (UK) payroll, month-end processes, VAT, and AP/AR, ensuring accuracy and compliance using Xero and other software. 

• Context switching: Balance working across different startups, projects, and changing priorities with accuracy, ensuring partner expectations are managed. 

• Optimise as you go: Identify and drive improvements in finance processes/controls and support with new tech implementations.

• Build strong connections: Collaborate closely with RORA's FinOps teams across the UK and India, plus your partners, to innovate and solve challenges collaboratively. 

Your experience:

• A minimum of 3 years experience in finance and accounting

• Confident running finance processes independently (you MUST have strong knowledge across AP, AR and month end as a minimum)

• Familiar with UK accounting and tax regulations including VAT and payroll etc

• Experienced in using cloud software such as Xero (strongly preferred)

• Excellent level of English (verbal and written)

Your setup
You have the flexibility to work remotely from anywhere in India, whether at home or a co-working space. Your working environment should be quiet and free from distractions, plus strong and reliable internet in a must! Your working day will need to overlap with GMT standard working hours - we ask for at least 4 hours of your day to coincide with UK hours.

It’s probably not for you if…

• You crave structure and predictability - we believe in moving fast, iterating on the go and figuring things out for ourselves

• You prefer direction - startups can be unpredictable, we move and adapt with the changes (that’s the fun part!)

• You require focus on individual tasks - variety is the spice of RORA life, we effortlessly move between competing priorities. 

Life at RORA
We’re committed to providing variety, impact and progression, and we do it better than anywhere else.
