Who is Bridebook anyway?
Bridebook is a SaaS and Marketplace scale‑up business revolutionising the wedding industry. We are proud to be the UK’s number one wedding planning app and the only global provider. Our mission is to make the wedding planning journey as happy as possible for engaged couples everywhere.
With over 90% of the world’s 7.5bn population expected to get married in their lifetime, the wedding industry is massive. It is 50% larger than the global taxi and food delivery markets combined, yet it lags in digitalisation and lacks solutions for the modern‑day needs of both couples and businesses.
What will I be doing?
I’ll support the smooth running of Bridebook’s day‑to‑day finance operations, ensuring financial data is accurate, organised and processed efficiently. Working closely with the Management Accountant and wider Finance team, I will support Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, reconciliations, expenses and finance administration, and proactively identify opportunities to improve processes and streamline workflows.
Specific Responsibilities
- Manage and process Pleo transactions and balances, ensuring receipts are matched, spend is accurately coded, and any issues are resolved promptly
- Process supplier invoices and staff expenses in line with internal policies and approval processes
- Prepare weekly payment‑run listings, ensuring invoices are validated, coded correctly and ready for review
- Support remittance processing, reconciliations and discrepancy resolution in collaboration with wider teams
- Maintain accurate supplier, remittance and finance records, ensuring documentation is audit‑ready
- Assist with accounts receivable activities, including invoice preparation, maintaining customer account data and allocating incoming receipts
- Monitor overdue balances and proactively flag issues to the Management Accountant and Commercial teams
- Support month‑end close activities, including bank reconciliations, remittance reconciliations and Pleo reconciliations
- Assist with journals and accruals under the guidance of the Management Accountant
- Manage the finance inbox, responding to supplier and internal queries promptly and professionally
- Identify opportunities to improve finance processes, automation and operational efficiency as Bridebook continues to scale

- Is curious, eager to learn and excited to grow within a scaling Finance team
