• Contribute to quarterly Board materials, including the preparation of financial schedules and key SaaS metrics.
• Provide analytical support for ad hoc strategic projects, which may include M&A activity over time.

What You'll Bring To The Team

• Strong experience in a high growth B2B SaaS environment, ideally in a scale‑up reporting directly into the CFO or senior finance leadership.
• Solid RevOps or Sales Finance exposure with hands on experience integrating CRM and pipeline data into forecasts.
• Advanced financial modelling skills across three statement models, scenario analysis and valuation work.
• Experience supporting or modelling sales compensation and commission plans.
• Hands on experience with FP&A tools or planning systems with the ability to streamline reporting and forecasting processes.
• Experience in a Private Equity or Venture Capital backed business.
