Job description

About 9fin

The world's largest asset class, debt, operates with the worst data.

Technology has revolutionized equity markets with electronic trading, quant algos and instantaneous news. However, in debt capital markets, the picture is completely different. It still behaves like it’s in the 1980s; trillions of dollars of trades are placed over the phone, news is slow, and corporate credit information is imperfect and scattered.

Our mission is to change this.

9fin's proprietary technology delivers fast and comprehensive financial, credit, legal & ESG analysis. Our clients are able to make faster, more informed decisions, win more business and most importantly, save time.

Our fast growing list of clients include 9 of the top 10 Investment Banks, leading Asset Managers, Hedge Funds and Law Firms.

Following the close of an oversubscribed $50m Series B fundraise, our first M&A transaction, and off the back of four years of > 100% year-on-year ARR growth, we are looking for someone who has the ambition and appetite to help build a best in class FP&A function, fit for $100m ARR and beyond. This role will focus on reporting prior period results, alongside forward-looking matters, including forecasting, budgeting and finance strategy work.

• Contribute to forecasting and scenario planning to shape where we invest and grow next

• Excited about growing with the role and business as we scale a best in class finance team

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment

• Excited by technology, automation and system improvement, and willing to share well thought out and researched ideas for the continued evolution of our finance function

• An excellent communicator. Able to leverage communication skills to ensure efficiency and cohesion across a global finance team and collaborate cross-functionally across the wider business

• A team player and a great mentor to junior team members

A note from Alicia (Head of Finance)

“Our recent (oversubscribed) $50m Series B funding round marks an exciting chapter for 9fin. With over 100% year-on-year ARR growth for four consecutive years and a clear path toward $100m ARR and unicorn status, we’re building a world-class finance function to go with!

We’ve grown incredibly fast and now need a hands-on, technically strong management accountant to help take our finance function to the next level. You’ll play a key role in owning the month-end process, building scalable systems and controls and supporting cross-functional teams with insights that shape the company’s direction.

This isn't a back-office role. From day one, you’ll have visibility across the business and be instrumental in evolving our global reporting standards and preparing for expansion.

I’m looking for someone who thrives in a high-growth environment and enjoys solving problems with simplicity and a touch of automation. You’ll need to be detail-orientated, proactive and comfortable balancing the demands of fast delivery with technical excellence.

At 9fin we are a team with big ambition and high expectations of ourselves and each other, but we do this whilst creating space for fun and supporting each other every step of the way. If you love getting into the details and are excited to help scale a finance function fit for a future unicorn - then we would love to hear from you!”

We recognize that building diverse teams enables a more creative and productive environment. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might just be who we’re looking for — either for this role, or perhaps another.
