Job description

Head of FP&A | High-Growth FinTech | London

£120,000–£140,000 + Bonus + Equity Options

We’re working with a seriously exciting, fast-growth FinTech business that is doubling revenue year-on-year and looking to appoint a Head of FP&A to help support the next stage of its growth.

This is a newly created and highly visible role, working closely with the CFO and senior leadership team. You’ll have the autonomy to build and shape the FP&A function, putting in place the processes, reporting and commercial insight needed to support a rapidly scaling business.

This isn’t a role for someone looking to inherit a finished FP&A function. We’re looking for someone who enjoys building, is comfortable getting into the detail, and can operate with a high degree of autonomy.

You’ll take ownership of:

• Budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning
• Building scalable FP&A processes, reporting and KPI frameworks
• Commercial analysis and decision support for senior leadership
• Scenario modelling and identifying the key drivers of growth and profitability
• Partnering with senior stakeholders across the business
• Board and investor-level reporting and analysis
• Hiring and developing an FP&A team as the business continues to scale

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• 5+ years FP&A experience, ideally within an early-to-mid-stage, fast-growth FinTech, SaaS or recurring-revenue business
• ACA/CIMA/ACCA Qualified
• Evidence of having built rather than simply inherited FP&A processes
• The ability to operate autonomously in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment
• Strong financial modelling, budgeting and forecasting experience
• Excellent commercial judgement and the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders
• Experience helping a business professionalise and scale its finance function

This is a genuine opportunity to build an FP&A function around you within a business experiencing exceptional growth.
