We're partnering with a PE-backed SaaS business with revenues of c.£90m that's looking to appoint an experienced FP&A Director on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

Reporting directly to the CFO, you'll play a key role in shaping the commercial direction of the business as it enters its next phase of growth. This is an opportunity to modernise the FP&A function, elevate the quality of commercial insight and build a finance capability that genuinely influences strategic decision-making across the organisation.

Working alongside a highly respected CFO with significant board-level ownership, you'll have real visibility, autonomy and influence from day one.

What you'll be doing:

  • Leading the evolution of the FP&A function, embedding best-in-class planning, forecasting and commercial reporting.
  • Owning the annual operating plan, rolling forecasts and long-range strategic planning process.
  • Developing sophisticated SaaS revenue models, including ARR, MRR, churn, retention, customer cohorts and revenue forecasting.
  • Partnering with the executive team to challenge commercial performance, investment decisions and growth initiatives through robust financial analysis.
  • Producing board-level reporting, investor packs and strategic insight for the leadership team and shareholders.
  • Building scenario modelling around pricing, customer acquisition, profitability, international expansion and capital allocation.
  • Improving forecasting accuracy through automation, better data utilisation and scalable FP&A processes.
  • Acting as the commercial finance lead across the business, partnering with Sales, Customer Success, Product and Operations to improve performance and decision-making.
  • Supporting strategic initiatives including fundraising, M&A, strategic partnerships and value creation projects where required.

What we're looking for:

  • ACA qualified, ideally Big Four or Top 10 trained.
  • Significant leadership experience within FP&A or Commercial Finance.
  • Strong experience within a SaaS, software or ARR-driven technology business.
  • Deep understanding of SaaS metrics including ARR, MRR, churn, NRR, gross margin and customer economics.
  • Outstanding commercial modelling and strategic finance capability.
  • Experience presenting to executive leadership, boards and investors.
  • A track record of building or transforming FP&A functions within high-growth, investor-backed businesses.
  • Available immediately or at short notice.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced FP&A leader looking to make a tangible impact within a fast-growing technology business. You'll work alongside an outstanding CFO and leadership team, helping shape the commercial strategy of the business while building an FP&A function capable of supporting its next stage of growth.
