About Taskize
Taskize, a London-based fintech owned by Euroclear, is revolutionising problem resolution in the financial industry. Since launch, we’ve onboarded over 600 banks across 75 countries. Our platform enables operations teams to resolve queries, disputes, and exceptions faster by connecting the right people with the right skills across firms—replacing inefficient communication channels like phone and email.
Taskize is now the preferred communication tool for Euroclear clients, offering a streamlined and optimised experience. We’re united by a shared mission: to build a world-class product that transforms financial services operations globally.
We’re looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Accountant to support our finance operations.
