FP&A Manager

About this role

About 9fin

9fin is the AI platform powering global debt markets — the world’s largest asset class at over $145 trillion.

Debt markets are vast, global, and mission-critical, yet still run on fragmented data, PDFs, and manual workflows. 9fin replaces this broken infrastructure with a single platform that centralises proprietary credit data, deep analysis, and high-value workflows across global markets.

Today, 9fin powers teams at 300+ blue-chip institutions worldwide, including global banks, asset managers, private equity firms, law firms, and advisors. The business is scaling at exceptional speed, with rapid expansion in the US and best-in-class retention driven by deep workflow adoption.

We’re at a defining inflection point. With proven product-market fit and strong, global market pull, 9fin is accelerating toward becoming the category-defining platform for debt markets worldwide.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role at the heart of a finance function that is scaling fast. As FP&A Manager, you will own the planning, reporting, and business partnering work that keeps 9fin’s leadership informed and its commercial decisions well-grounded.

You will work directly alongside the Senior Strategic Finance & FP&A Manager and sit at the intersection of finance, commercial, and operational teams. This is not a role for someone who wants to process numbers in the background. You will be expected to form views, tell the story behind the data, and challenge assumptions — while building the infrastructure that makes the finance function faster and sharper over time.

You will join at a moment when the FP&A function is still being shaped. That means genuine scope to influence how we plan, report, and partner with the business — and real opportunity to grow with the role as 9fin scales.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

PLANNING & FORECASTING

- Support the annual budget and rolling forecast processes — coordinating inputs across the business, stress-testing assumptions, and producing a consolidated view that reflects commercial reality.

- Build and maintain robust financial models that support scenario planning, headcount modelling, and long-range forecasting.

- Translate financial plans into actionable targets for commercial and operational teams, ensuring the budget is understood and owned beyond the finance function.

- Continuously improve forecast accuracy by refining methodologies and incorporating actuals analysis into future cycles.

- Support board and investor reporting cycles with modelling, narrative, and presentation preparation.

REPORTING & ANALYSIS

- Own the headcount and financial model and lead report creation for the ELT — turning the numbers into clear, decision-ready narrative.

- Produce variance commentary that goes beyond the numbers: what happened, why it happened, and what it means for the business.

- Design and maintain KPI dashboards and reporting frameworks that give leadership real-time visibility into the metrics that matter.

- Track and report on SaaS metrics — ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, churn, and cohort performance — ensuring finance and commercial reporting are aligned.

- Partner with the Finance Systems Lead to ensure reporting infrastructure is built on clean, timely data from source systems.

- Support the build-out of investor-facing outputs as the business approaches future milestones.

BUSINESS PARTNERING

- Support business partnering across commercial, product, and operational teams — building relationships, developing financial insight, and adding value beyond the numbers.

- Understand the sales pipeline, analyse revenue performance, and help the business make better decisions.

- Support hiring decisions and headcount planning with clear financial analysis, working with Talent and functional leads to track actuals against plan.

- Provide ad hoc analysis and decision support across the business — building the case for investment, surfacing risks, and identifying opportunities.

AI & AUTOMATION

This is a core part of the role — not a nice-to-have. We want someone who is genuinely excited about what AI and automation can do for a finance function, and who brings that energy into their day-to-day work.

- Use AI tools actively and practically: to accelerate reconciliations, automate recurring analyses, clean and validate data, and turn manual processes into repeatable workflows.

- Partner with the Finance Systems Lead to identify and embed automation across the FP&A function — from data ingestion to report generation.

- Bring a point of view on AI-powered FP&A tooling — whether that’s planning platforms, forecasting assistants, or BI tools — and contribute to the evaluation of future investments.

- Share knowledge and good habits with the broader finance team, helping build a culture of smart, tool-led working.

ABOUT YOU

This role will be a strong fit if you:

- Have a strong foundation in FP&A, ideally built in a SaaS or high-growth technology business where you’ve had to move fast and think commercially.

- Have an AI-native working style. You use AI tools day-to-day to sharpen your analysis, automate routine tasks, and do more with less — not just in theory.

- Are fluent in SaaS commercial metrics and understand the business model dynamics that sit behind them — ARR, NRR, churn, cohort economics, unit economics.

- Build models that are clean, well-structured, and actually used by the people they’re built for — not just technically correct.

- Can tell a clear story with data. You write crisp variance commentary, build accessible dashboards, and present confidently to senior audiences.

- Are a natural business partner. You build relationships with commercial and operational stakeholders, ask good questions, and add value beyond the numbers.

- Are comfortable operating in ambiguity, managing competing priorities, and delivering to deadlines without constant direction.

- Communicate clearly with…
