FinTech (PE-Backed)
Our client is one of Europe’s leading private equity backed Fintech companies and is growing fast both organically and through strategic acquisitions. The business delivers borderless financial solutions to international businesses across global markets.
The Role
Reporting to the Head of FP&A, this is a high-visibility, hands-on commercial role focused on delivering the Board’s strategic objectives and driving enterprise value. Operating within a deal focused FP&A function, you will partner closely with the Executive Team, shareholders, and external transaction advisors to support M&A, debt/equity raising, and future exit planning.
Key Responsibilities
You will own and maintain the integrated 5-year business plan model (P&L, BS, Cashflow), incorporating M&A, debt financing, and scenario modelling alongside annual budgets and rolling forecasts. Operating with a constant focus on transaction readiness, you will also populate and manage a “deal-ready” data room to ensure smooth financial, legal, and commercial due diligence at any point.
Alongside transaction support, you will deliver weekly and monthly performance insights, KPIs, and unit economics to the Executive Committee, Board, and PE/debt providers. You will also act as a key commercial business partner to department heads, helping them manage cost bases, optimise pricing, and own the end-to-end company-wide workforce planning model.
The Candidate
You will be a qualified accountant with strong technical accounting and proven three-statement financial modelling expertise. You must bring demonstrable FP&A and commercial business partnering experience within a fast-paced, transaction-driven environment (PE-backed or listed), including direct exposure to M&A, debt financing, or due diligence.
You will possess advanced Excel skills alongside a strong proficiency in leveraging AI tools (such as Claude) to streamline finance workflows and data analysis. A confident and resilient communicator, you will be comfortable influencing C-suite stakeholders and investors under pressure. Prior experience within FinTech, payments, or an FCA-regulated environment is highly advantageous.
