Finance Analyst

Harper May is working with a B2B SaaS business in the technology sector. Founded in 2019 and backed by growth-stage venture capital, the company has scaled rapidly to serve mid-market customers across EMEA, with revenue now exceeding £15m ARR. The finance function is lean but expanding. With new product lines launching and customer cohorts maturing at different rates, leadership needs sharper visibility on cash generation, customer profitability, and burn trajectory. The business is now hiring a Finance Analyst to build rigour around financial planning, reporting, and commercial analysis.

The Role
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will provide the analytical backbone for board reporting, operational decision-making, and investor updates. You will partner across product, sales, and operations to translate financial data into clear insight, helping teams understand what is driving margin, where customer acquisition costs are trending, and how to prioritise investment across the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Own monthly and quarterly financial reporting, including consolidated P&L, variance analysis, and commentary for leadership and board review
• Build and maintain financial models for forecasting, scenario planning, and investor reporting
• Analyse customer cohort economics, churn, LTV, and CAC trends to support growth strategy
• Support annual budgeting and rolling forecasts, working across all functional teams
• Investigate cost drivers and operational metrics, translating them into financial narratives
• Maintain dashboards and reporting infrastructure to improve data accessibility for stakeholders
• Support statutory compliance and month-end close processes

What we are looking for

• ACA, ACCA, CIMA qualified, or part-qualified with equivalent hands-on finance experience
• Experience in a technology, venture-backed, or subscription business environment
• Demonstrable skill in Excel, financial modelling, and extracting insight from data
• Ability to simplify complex financial narratives for non-finance audiences
• Structured mindset, comfortable with ambiguity, and proactive in spotting financial questions before they are asked
• Collaborative approach; you thrive working with operational teams, not just finance
