About the role
This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role at the heart of a finance function that is scaling fast. As FP&A Manager, you will own the planning, reporting, and business partnering work that keeps 9fin's leadership informed and its commercial decisions well-grounded. You will work directly alongside the Senior Strategic Finance & FP&A Manager and sit at the intersection of finance, commercial, and operational teams. This is not a role for someone who wants to process numbers in the background. You will be expected to form views, tell the story behind the data, and challenge assumptions - while building the infrastructure that makes the finance function faster and sharper over time. You will join at a moment when the FP&A function is still being shaped. That means genuine scope to influence how we plan, report, and partner with the business - and real opportunity to grow with the role as 9fin scales.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- About You
- This role will be a strong fit if you:
- Have a strong foundation in FP&A, ideally built in a SaaS or high-growth technology business where you've had to move fast and think commercially.
- Have a
