Package: £70,000 - £80,000 + discretionary annual bonus
We’re working with a high-growth, investor-backed SaaS business in London that is scaling quickly, with revenue growing by around 40% year on year. Backed by top-tier investors, the business is at an exciting stage of growth and is now looking to hire a Finance & Operations Lead into a newly created role with broad scope, real ownership, and a clear progression path.
Reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with the leadership team, this is a rare opportunity for an ambitious finance professional to step into a commercially focused role where you can genuinely shape the future of the function. The CEO has been clear that this position offers the chance to work closely with senior leadership and investors, and for the right individual, there is real scope for this role to develop into a future FD/CFO position.
The Opportunity
This is a broad, hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys variety, ownership, and building things from the ground up. You will take responsibility for finance and operations, help bring outsourced activity in-house, and build the processes, systems, and controls needed to support the next phase of growth.
Key responsibilities
- Own month-end close, management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, and board reporting
- Build and maintain financial models, cash flow forecasting, and KPI reporting
- Partner with department heads to support strategic planning and commercial decision-making
- Bring outsourced finance processes in-house, including areas such as bookkeeping, AP/AR, payroll, and reporting
- Improve systems, processes, controls, and approval workflows to create a scalable finance infrastructure
- Partner with leadership on pricing, contract structuring, revenue recognition, and customer profitability
- Support wider operational matters including vendors, entity management, insurance, and office-related matters
- Assist with investor reporting and broader strategic initiatives as the company grows
About you
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent)
- Likely trained in practice, ideally Big 4, with post-qualified industry experience
- Experience within a B2B SaaS or high-growth technology environment would be highly beneficial
- Commercially minded, hands-on, and comfortable operating across both finance and operational matters
- Confident building relationships with senior stakeholders and communicating with non-finance audiences
- Someone with the ambition and potential to take on a bigger role than their title may suggest today
Why apply?
- Opportunity to join a start-up SaaS business at a genuine inflection point
- Work directly with the CEO, leadership team, and top-tier investors
- Broad role with significant ownership and visibility from day one
- Chance to build and shape the finance function as the business scales
- Strong long-term progression potential, including a path toward FD/CFO for the right person
If you are early in your industry career but feel ready for a bigger, broader opportunity where you can make a real impact, this could be a standout next move.
