9fin - FP&A Manager

• PLANNING & FORECASTING • Support the annual budget and rolling forecast processes — coordinating inputs across the business, stress-testing assumptions, and producing a consolidated view that reflects commercial reality. • Build and maintain robust financial models that support scenario planning, headcount modelling, and long-range forecasting. • Translate financial plans into actionable targets for commercial and operational teams, ensuring the budget is understood and owned beyond the finance function. • Continuously improve forecast accuracy by refining methodologies and incorporating actuals analysis into future cycles. • Support board and investor reporting cycles with modelling, narrative, and presentation preparation. • REPORTING & ANALYSIS • Own the headcount and financial model and lead report creation for the ELT — turning the numbers into clear, decision-ready narrative. • Produce variance commentary that goes beyond the numbers: what happened, why it happened, and what it means for the business. • Design and maintain KPI dashboards and reporting frameworks that give leadership real-time visibility into the metrics that matter. • Track and report on SaaS metrics — ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, churn, and cohort performance — ensuring finance and commercial reporting are aligned. • Partner with the Finance Systems Lead to ensure reporting infrastructure is built on clean, timely data from source systems. • Support the build-out of investor-facing outputs as the business approaches future milestones. • BUSINESS PARTNERING • Support business partnering across commercial, product, and operational teams — building relationships, developing financial insight, and adding value beyond the numbers. • Understand the sales pipeline, analyse revenue performance, and help the business make better decisions. • Support hiring decisions and headcount planning with clear financial analysis, working with Talent and functional leads to track actuals against plan. • Provide ad hoc analysis and decision support across the business — building the case for investment, surfacing risks, and identifying opportunities. • AI & AUTOMATION • This is a core part of the role — not a nice-to-have. We want someone who is genuinely excited about what AI and automation can do for a finance function, and who brings that energy into their day-to-day work. • Use AI tools actively and practically: to accelerate reconciliations, automate recurring analyses, clean and validate data, and turn manual processes into repeatable workflows. • Partner with the Finance Systems Lead to identify and embed automation across the FP&A function — from data ingestion to report generation. • Bring a point of view on AI-powered FP&A tooling — whether that’s planning platforms, forecasting assistants, or BI tools — and contribute to the evaluation of future investments. • Share knowledge and good habits with the broader finance team, helping build a culture of smart, tool-led working.
