We put diversity front and centre
We want everyone to feel welcome at TotallyMoney – from our staff to our prospective candidates who apply for our roles. That’s why we train all interviewers on diversity, conscious and unconscious bias. To ensure we’re attracting a broad spectrum of candidates, we remove anything from our job descriptions that might hold back diversity - such as mandatory degrees. We also run our job descriptions through an algorithm to identify and remove gendered language.
To attract candidates of all ages, we use specialist recruiters, such as Capability Jane, who specialise in mothers returning to work, and Give A Grad A Go for candidates at the earlier stages of their career, or work with partners who introduce us to diverse talent – such as the software bootcamp academy – Makers.
When it comes to flexible working, we work a mix of days in the office and remotely. We even have the option to work abroad to facilitate staff members visiting family or for staff wishing to experience working in different cultures. There’s plenty of flexibility around our start and finish times too - making room for personal commitments, such as caring responsibilities.
We’re proud signatories of the Women in Finance Charter
The Women in Finance Charter is a series of pledges aimed at building a more balanced and fair financial services industry. As signatories, we set ambitious targets and committed to:
- Increase the proportion of women on the senior management team to 40% by 2021
- Ensure that 40% of level 2 managers (currently all those with direct reports) are women by 2021
- Linking senior executive bonus pay to the delivery of the above targets – effective from January 2022 bonus pay

2022 Update
In September 2021, we had 29 female staff working at TotallyMoney. As of September 2022, we have 40 female staff working at TotallyMoney. Women comprise 39% of our workforce, much better than the finance sector average of 29%. As of September 2022, we can report that we have a gender balanced senior management team; and are proud that our target in this area was not only just met, but exceeded. We’re proud to continue attracting women to our team and especially proud to have achieved gender parity when it comes to senior management.
More than ever, the importance of diversity feels ingrained in our company culture. It’s not a checkbox exercise — everybody understands you need a diverse group of people working on a product if you want it to help a diverse group of customers. There’s plenty of work to do, but we’re confident we’re on track to continue making sure TotallyMoney is a company that welcomes all sectors of our communities. To this end, our work on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) continues and feels more important than ever, and with the support of external DEI partners, we are making steps to educate ourselves on DEI related topics and to hold ourselves accountable for making real progress.
