FP&A Manager | Private Equity, SaaS.
Remuneration | Up to £85k + Bonus.
Location | London, permanent full-time position (Hybrid working, 2x days per week).
The Opportunity:
A high-growth, private equity-backed SaaS business is seeking an ambitious and commercially-minded FP&A Manager to play a key role in the next phase of its growth journey.
With approximately £50m ARR, £15m EBITDA, and sustained 20% year-on-year growth, the business operates internationally and continues to scale through a combination of organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. Backed by an experienced private equity investor, the business is executing an ambitious value creation plan with a targeted exit anticipated within the next three years.
The Role:
Reporting directly to the Finance Director, with regular exposure to the CFO, this is a high-profile role that will sit at the centre of financial decision-making, strategic planning, and operational performance. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and professionalising the FP&A function, delivering best-in-class planning and reporting processes, and spearheading a finance-led AI transformation programme.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and continually enhance the budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning processes.
- Develop sophisticated three-statement financial models covering P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow forecasting.
- Partner closely with senior leadership teams across the business to provide commercial insight and decision support.
- Lead the implementation and adoption of AI-driven tools and processes across the finance function, driving efficiency, automation, and enhanced analytical capability.
- Support strategic initiatives, including M&A activity, integration projects, value creation programmes, and exit preparation.
- Deliver meaningful KPI reporting, performance analysis, and board-quality insights.
- Build scalable FP&A processes and controls appropriate for a rapidly growing international business.
- Work closely with the CFO and Finance Director to improve forecasting accuracy, cash management, and performance visibility.
The Requirements:
The ideal candidate will be a qualified finance professional (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with a strong FP&A foundation and exceptional analytical capability.
They will demonstrate:
- Proven FP&A experience within a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- Advanced financial modelling expertise, particularly across P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow forecasting.
- Strong stakeholder management and business partnering skills, with the ability to influence senior decision-makers.
- Experience delivering finance transformation initiatives and leveraging technology to improve finance processes.
- Practical AI implementation experience or a genuine passion for driving AI adoption within finance.
- A proactive, commercially minded approach and the ability to thrive in a private equity environment.
- Experience within a SaaS, technology, or recurring revenue business would be highly advantageous.
Candidates coming from a Transaction Services, Deal Advisory, Corporate Finance, or M&A-related background, who have subsequently moved into industry FP&A, will be particularly attractive given the level of financial modelling and strategic analysis required.
This represents an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious FP&A professional to join a high-growth, PE-backed technology business at a pivotal stage in its evolution. The role offers significant exposure to senior leadership, involvement in a major AI transformation programme, and the opportunity to contribute directly to value creation ahead of a future private equity exit.
The successful candidate will have the chance to shape a growing FP&A function, influence strategic decision-making, and accelerate their career within a dynamic, internationally scaling SaaS business.
