The roles we recruit for

  • Compliance officers and managers keep lending and broking within the rules, including the FCA's where they apply.
  • KYC and AML analysts check who customers are and where their money comes from, before lending and through the relationship.
  • Lease accountants handle the accounting particular to leasing and hire purchase.
  • Finance managers, financial controllers and finance directors run the numbers for lenders and brokers.
  • Legal counsel draft and review agreements, funding lines and partner contracts.

What employers look for

The right qualifications or experience for the role, and an understanding of how a lending business works: where the risks are, how deals are documented and how the business is funded. For senior roles, see asset finance leadership jobs.

Where the roles are

At funders and lenders and at finance brokers. KYC and onboarding work also sits close to operations.

Questions people ask

Do I need asset finance experience for a compliance or finance role?

It helps, but it's not always essential. Compliance, KYC and AML experience from banking or other lending often transfers, and lease accounting can be learned by a qualified or part-qualified accountant.

Do brokers hire compliance people?

Yes. Brokers that arrange regulated finance need compliance support, from a compliance officer to a full team at larger brokerages.
