Harper May is working with a London-based B2B software business that has grown rapidly over the last three years through organic expansion and two strategic acquisitions. Founder-led and now operating across multiple geographies, the business has moved from cash-generative to investment-phase as it scales its platform into new verticals. The finance function is being strengthened to track profitability by segment, model capital allocation decisions, and give the leadership team reliable insight into operational performance. The business is now seeking a Finance Analyst to build and own reporting frameworks that inform strategic direction.
The Role
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will deliver financial analysis that supports board-level and operational decision-making. You will work across product, customer success, and operations teams, translating complexity into clear, actionable reporting. This is a role with real scope - you will own specific reporting areas, build new models, and help the business understand the drivers of margin, customer acquisition cost, and cash burn as it moves into the next phase of growth. Key Responsibilities
* Build and maintain monthly management accounts, variance analysis, and commentary on performance against budget and forecast * Develop segment-level profitability reporting to track performance across product lines and geographies * Analyse customer economics, churn trends, and lifetime value to support commercial decision-making * Support scenario modelling and sensitivity analysis for board reporting and investment decisions * Own data integrity, spreadsheet governance, and the month-end close process * Identify process improvements and build new dashboards to reduce manual reporting What we are looking for
* ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified or part-qualified, or equivalent experience in finance analysis or accounting * Demonstrated experience in a scaling technology, SaaS, or software business * Expert-level Excel skills with proven ability to build robust financial models * Strong analytical mindset with the ability to spot patterns in data and communicate findings clearly to non-finance audiences * Organised, proactive, and comfortable working with imperfect information in a dynamic environment * Commercial curiosity - you want to understand how the business makes money
