VP of FInancial Planning and Analysis
An exceptional opportunity to join a high-growth, PE-backed software business on the path to IPO. This is a pivotal finance leadership role, offering real influence at board level and the chance to build out the FP&A function from a strategic and technical standpoint.
We’re looking for a progressive, commercially astute individual with capital markets exposure and a strong technical foundation—ideally trained at a Big 4 firm like EY.
Key Responsibilities:

Own the group FP&A function: lead all budgeting, forecasting, financial modelling, and strategic insight.
*
Partner directly with C-suite & investors, acting as the right hand to the CFO on board reporting, investor relations, and capital strategy.
*
Design and build scalable processes, including dashboards and financial models focused on SaaS KPIs (ARR, CAC, LTV, churn).
*
Support IPO preparation, including S-1 readiness, audit interface, and establishing public-market-ready reporting structures.
*
Lead scenario planning, funding strategy & capital allocation models aligned to business performance and valuation growth.
*
Drive performance management across all departments through commercial finance business partnering and KPI alignment.
*
Develop investor-grade board packs, cash flow forecasts, cohort analysis, and pipeline-to-revenue conversion models.
*
Mentor and scale a high-calibre FP&A team, embedding a culture of continuous improvement, ownership, and accountability.
Ideal Candidate Profile:
*
ACA/ICAEW qualified (Big 4-trained strongly preferred).
*
Significant experience in PE-backed or VC-backed SaaS/tech environments.
*
Strong grasp of capital markets, ideally with exposure to IPO or exit planning.
*
Hands-on and strategic; thrives in fast-paced, high-change businesses.
*
Commercially sharp, emotionally intelligent, and naturally collaborative.
