Harper May is working with a London-based SaaS business backed by growth equity investors. The company serves mid-market enterprise clients across verticals, with ARR in the £15-20m range and a target to double within 18 months.

They are now seeking a Finance Analyst to build rigour around financial planning and operational reporting.
