Financial Director

Finance Director | High-Growth SaaS | London

£120,000–£140,000 plus bonus and equity

I'm supporting a rapidly scaling SaaS business founded by a leadership team with multiple successful exits. The company has grown internationally, and is recognised as one of the UK's fastest-growing start-ups. Backed by top-tier investors, the business is preparing for its next phase of expansion.

This newly created Finance Director role will be a pivotal hire, partnering directly with the CFO and founders to lead the finance function, improve performance reporting, and drive strategic decision-making across the business.

Key Responsibilities

• FP&A & Forecasting:
  Lead budgeting, planning, rolling forecasts, and long-term modelling; provide strategic insight to optimise spend and support growth initiatives.
• SaaS Metrics & Analysis:
  Track key performance metrics and provide actionable insights to guide retention, expansion, and investment decisions.
• Commercial Finance & Reporting:
  Analyse revenue, costs, margins, and commissions; enhance systems, dashboards, and reporting for leadership and investors.
• Strategic Partnership:
  Work closely with founders and senior leaders to influence business strategy, support international growth, and contribute to investor communications.
• Team Leadership:
  Oversee finance operations across multiple locations and manage a high-performing team.

What We're Looking For

• Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) with strong FP&A and commercial finance experience, ideally in SaaS, technology, or high-growth, PE/VC-backed environments.
• Experience in scaling finance functions and improving reporting, forecasting, and performance visibility.
• Strong understanding of SaaS business models and key metrics.
• Confident and credible communicator, comfortable partnering with founders and senior stakeholders.
• Hands-on, entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate in a fast-paced, office-first scale-up environment.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a founder-led, high-growth SaaS business at a pivotal stage, with exposure to C-suite leadership, investors, and international expansion.
