About the Company

Capital on Tap started because small businesses were underserved. Big banks were slow, their products weren't fit for purpose, and small business owners often couldn't access what they needed. Today we're a financial platform - not just a credit card company. We offer a best-in-class business credit card, SME-focused spend management platform, a savings product that hit £1 billion in funds within its first year, and a growing suite of tools and financial products that make running a small business easier.
1,000+ employees, £20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, 17,000+ Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.7 stars, and we're profitable. We’ve done a pretty good job so far, but we’re just getting started!
Our Finance team sits at the heart of everything we do. The team is responsible for financial reporting, statutory compliance, payroll, and treasury across our UK and US entities, working closely with the rest of the business to ensure we have the financial foundations to keep growing. We're a lean, high-ownership team where you'll get real breadth across the finance function and plenty of opportunity to shape how things are done as we scale.
