The Role

As part of Checkout.com’s #NextGen Early Careers Program, we are looking for an ambitious Finance Analyst Apprentice to join our fast-paced EU Finance department. Reporting directly to the Regional Finance Director, you will work alongside experienced professionals, gain hands-on experience, and join a global community with technical training, mentorship, and regular networking opportunities to accelerate your growth.

Through a structured three-year program, you will balance real team deliverables with study towards your ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) qualification, dedicating 20% of your time (around six hours per week) to your professional studies. Each placement will be supported by a dedicated Rotation Manager alongside guidance from senior Finance leadership.

You will gain broad exposure across six core finance pillars: Financial Control and Revenue & Billing in year one; Tax and Treasury in year two; and Strategic Finance and Finance Transformation in year three. Depending on business and ACCA requirements, you may also gain exposure to adjacent areas such as Product Control, Procurement, or Internal Audit.

How You’ll Make An Impact

•
Support accurate, timely finance operations across your rotations, contributing to processes such as month-end close, reconciliations, journals and variance analysis.

•
Help teams deliver invoicing, settlement, revenue recognition, tax compliance, cash management, budgeting and reporting activities.

•
Prepare and review information carefully, including supporting audit, compliance and management reporting requirements.

•
Work with colleagues across Finance to respond to queries, share information and deliver tasks to agreed deadlines.

•
Look for practical ways to improve processes, documentation and the use of finance systems and data.

•
Apply what you learn through ACCA study to real finance work, building technical, analytical and communication skills over time.

Eligibility Requirements

This role is offered as a government-funded Level 7 ACCA apprenticeship. Appointment is conditional on the successful candidate meeting the government’s apprenticeship funding and eligibility requirements at the start of training, as confirmed by our approved training provider. Under current England funding rules, Level 7 funding is generally available to applicants aged 16–21, with limited exceptions for eligible applicants aged 22–24 who have an EHCP or have been, or are, in care.

This role is offered as an early-careers opportunity and we are not able to offer this role on a privately funded basis. Further information about the Apprenticeship funding can be found here.

•
Academic Qualifications: You will have either:

•
A degree qualification

OR

•
You have completed a Level 4 AAT qualification before the September start date

+ 2 A Levels (or equivalent) and 3 GCSEs including a pass in English and Maths

Visa sponsorship: We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

What We’re Looking For

•
Academic Ambition: You are eager to begin your journey toward becoming a Chartered Accountant via the ACCA pathway.

•
Analytical Mindset: You have a natural comfort with numbers and a high attention to detail.

•
Resilience: The ability to work toward tight deadlines in a fast-paced, high-growth work environment.

•
Tech Savvy: Proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets. Any prior exposure to accounting systems (like Workday) is a huge plus, but not a dealbreaker—we will train you!

•
Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills and a "team player" attitude.

•
Proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets; familiarity with finance systems such as Workday is helpful, but not essential.
