Job Summary
Manager – FP&A will own the end-to-end financial planning, analysis, and investor-reporting function. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role designed for a self-starter who can operate independently, manage ambiguity, and communicate complex financial narratives with clarity and confidence to both internal leadership and external investors.
Principal Accountabilities:
Financial Planning & Budgeting
- Lead the annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and rolling 13-week cash-flow planning processes with minimal supervision.
- Build and maintain robust 3-statement financial models (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) calibrated to SaaS business drivers such as ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, Churn, and payback periods.
- Own all financial models end-to-end with strict version control discipline — maintaining clearly labelled model versions, change logs, and audit trails to ensure accuracy and traceability.
Business Partnering & Analysis
- Partner with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Customer Success teams to provide actionable financial insights that drive operational decisions.
- Develop scenario analyses, sensitivity models, and ad-hoc deep-dives that help leadership navigate strategic choices with data-driven confidence.
- Monitor KPIs and SaaS metrics dashboards; surface variances early and communicate root-cause findings proactively.
Investor Relations & Fundraising Support
- Serve as the primary finance contact for investor queries — preparing timely, accurate, and polished responses to diligence questions, board information requests, and ad-hoc investor inquiries.
- Prepare and maintain investor-ready materials including board decks, investor updates, data room schedules, and management presentations (must have)
- Support fundraising processes by coordinating financial due diligence, building investor models, and drafting financial narratives.
- Translate complex financial data into crisp, executive-level stories that resonate with both financial and non-financial audiences.
Reporting & Controls
- Produce monthly management accounts and MIS packs; ensure reporting is accurate, insightful, and delivered on schedule.
- Maintain structured, version-controlled Excel and financial model libraries — using best practices such as named ranges, protected sheets, structured change logs, and clear assumptions registers.
- Liaise with external auditors, legal counsel, and financial advisors as required.
Best Fit Profile -
- Degree: Chartered Accountant. Company Secretary Degree will be an added advantage, but not mandatory
- Experience: 5–8 years of progressive finance experience, with at least 3 years in FP&]A, or strategic finance at a SaaS, technology, digital business or high-growth startup.
- SaaS & Tech Background: Strong understanding of SaaS business models and metrics (ARR, MRR, NRR, Churn, LTV, CAC, Rule of 40). Prior experience at a B2B SaaS or enterprise software or technology services company is strongly preferred.
- Excel Mastery: Advanced Excel skills are non-negotiable — pivot tables, complex nested formulas, Power Query, dynamic arrays, and financial modelling best practices. Experience with
Power BI, Tableau, or similar BI tools is advantageous.
- Version Control & Model Governance: Demonstrated discipline in maintaining financial model version control — structured naming conventions, change tracking, assumptions documentation, and model audit readiness.
- Investor Communication: Proven experience preparing board-level or investor-facing materials; ability to handle investor queries independently, accurately, and with discretion.
- Communication: Exceptional written and spoken English — able to draft clear, concise, and polished financial narratives, emails, and presentations without requiring extensive editing.
- Independence: A proven self-starter who takes ownership of deliverables end-to-end, manages multiple priorities autonomously and escalates issues proactively rather than reactively.
