FP&A Analyst

Our Mission

We’re not your average benefits platform – we’re the driving force that uplifts people’s lives. Our technology connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers.

Our mission is clear: to build a world where everything works at its best, ensuring every employee gets the support they need to thrive—both at work and beyond.

Your Mission

We’re looking for an intellectually curious and highly analytical FP&A Analyst to join our growing Finance team. Reporting to the Head of Finance, this role is a great opportunity to strengthen and build upon the foundations already in place, with the autonomy to help us shape how FP&A supports the business as we move through our next phase of growth (Series B and beyond).

You’ll partner with senior stakeholders across the business, turning data into insights that shape smarter decisions. You’ll lead on financial modelling, budgets, and forecasting to give the business clarity and direction. Most importantly, you’ll deliver insights that accelerate our journey to profitability and help us scale with confidence.

What You’Ll Be Doing…

Financial Modelling, Budgeting, And Forecasting

• Financial modelling: Lead the maintenance and continuous refinement of the company's detailed operating and financial models, ensuring accuracy and flexibility to support various strategic scenarios.
• Budgeting & Planning: Drive the annual budgeting process, working closely with the Head of Finance and department heads to develop realistic, bottom-up operational budgets that align with the company’s strategic goals.
• Forecasting: Manage and execute the regular, rolling forecasting process, identifying risks and opportunities and providing an updated financial outlook to leadership.

Strategic Business Partnering

• Strategic Decision Support: Serve as a dedicated financial business partner to functional leaders (e.g., Sales, Marketing, Product, etc.), providing financial expertise on key initiatives, spending decisions, and hiring plans.
• Scenario and ROI Analysis: Develop ad-hoc financial models, business cases, and return on investment (ROI) analyses for new projects, product launches, pricing strategies, and new supplier spend.

Kpi Reporting And Analysis

• Monthly Variance Analysis: Conduct in-depth monthly variance analysis against budget and forecast, identifying root causes, communicating findings clearly to the leadership team.
• KPI Reporting: Own the preparation and distribution of the company’s core Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reporting package (e.g., dashboards, executive summaries) to the leadership team and the wider business, focusing on critical SaaS metrics such as ARR, Churn, NRR, CAC, LTV, etc.
• Board & Investor Materials: Support the preparation of board materials and other management reports, providing clear, concise narratives around financial performance.

Investor Relations And Fundraising Support

• Investor Relations (IR): Assist the Head of Finance with materials for existing investors, including preparing performance updates and responding to investor inquiries.
• Future Fundraising: Provide support during future fundraising activities, including preparing due diligence materials, validating key metrics, and building investor-ready decks and financial projections.

You Will Love This Role If You Have…

• Experience working in an FP&A or Commercial Finance role, ideally in a high-growth SaaS or technology business
• Excellent financial modelling skills, either in excel/google sheets or dedicated FP&A software
• Experience running budget and forecasting processes
• An analytical mindset with a data-led approach to problem solving
• Great communication skills, and an ability to explain complex financial concepts to non-financial stakeholders
• Great attention to detail and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment
• Familiarity with financial tools like Xero and data analytics tools like Metabase (nice to have)

You Will Not Love This Role If You…

• Aren’t comfortable working in a fast paced environment
• Aren't ready to own your own results and be held accountable
• If you like maintaining the status-quo and aren’t willing to think outside the box
• If you like a lot of structure and processes, we are a start-up and are still working things out and we don’t always know what’s next
• Are not comfortable with ambiguity, we will give you guidance but sometimes you have to work things out
• Wait for others to step up, or to be told what to do. We are a high-performance and high-reward work place and are looking for people who are proactive

Not sure if you meet 100% of the requirements?

That’s okay - we know that not everyone follows a linear career path, and we value diverse perspectives and growth mindsets. If you have a solid technical foundation and a strong interest in FP&A, we’d still love to hear from you. That said, this role does require hands-on experience, so please only apply if you feel confident you can contribute meaningfully from day one.
