Job Description

Unmind is the leading workplace wellbeing platform, on a mission to create mentally healthy workplaces where employees can flourish.

Grounded in science and built for enterprise, we drive people-first performance at some of the world’s biggest brands, including Uber, Major League Baseball, NHS, Disney, Standard Chartered, Mediacom and British Airways.

Our services support the whole organisation with data-driven performance insights for leaders, training for managers, wellbeing tools for all employees, as well as access to a global network of accredited mental health practitioners.

Our internal standards are as high as those of our clients. We’re an ambitious VC backed software business on the exhilarating 10-100M phase of our growth journey. Change is constant here so we embrace it - it’s hard and rewarding work and we’re determined to be our very best case study along the way.

Unmind believe high performance will hinge on the powerful harmony between our relentless drive for results and creating an environment that elevates our people's wellbeing. This wouldn’t be possible without a dedication to our core values:

  • Be Human
  • Grow Your Mind
  • Innovate at Speed
  • Inspire & Impact

To learn more about what these values mean to us, follow this.

Our DEI commitment

We strive to build a workplace that celebrates our differences, where every Unminder feels included, equal, seen and heard. This is true regardless of your age, race, gender identity, religion or belief, marital or parental status, disability, neurodiversity, or sexual orientation.

We’re proud of our culture, but not smug. So if there’s anything we can do to make the hiring process more accessible, just let us know when you apply, or email talent@unmind.com.

The Role – Finance Assistant

We are looking for an ambitious and highly motivated individual to join us as our new Finance Assistant. Reporting to the Head of Finance, you’ll be supporting the whole business in managing daily financial activities. We’re looking for someone who can think creatively, is responsible and thorough, and who aligns with our values.

  • Collaborate with our commercial team to ensure we recognise revenue timely and accurately, and work with other teams to improve understanding of drivers of financial performance.
  • Identify opportunities for process improvement within the finance function and implement new systems and tools, such as expense claims, bank reconciliations, payments runs and uses for AI.
  • Maintain the finance inbox, ensuring suppliers and clients receive timely responses to queries.
  • Assist the Senior Management Accountant on month-end and year-end processes including management accounts and statutory audit.
  • Provide support for HMRC filing obligations (e.g. VAT).

  • Meticulous attention to detail.
  • Exhibit strong self-management skills in handling workload and tasks.
  • Enthusiasm for taking on new responsibilities and identifying opportunities for improvement.
  • Embrace a collaborative approach and value teamwork.
  • Competent in working with Excel and ideally Google Sheets, and of finance stack software (Xero, Pleo, Dext).

Other skills and experience would be a plus:

  • Studying for a tax or accounting qualification (e.g. ACCA, CIMA, AAT).
  • Experience in a small business as a Finance Assistant, Assistant Accountant, or similar role.
  • Basic understanding of accounting and tax principles (e.g. PAYE, VAT, NIC).
  • Recording receipts and payments, including credit control.
  • Experience of liaising with external stakeholders (i.e. customers and suppliers).
