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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 both finance and non-finance stakeholders — as comfortable discussing methodology with the Control team as presenting to the CEO.
Are intellectually curious, self-motivated, and genuinely excited about building a finance function that operates ahead of the curve.
Experience with or a view on dedicated FP&A and forecasting platforms — ideally having evaluated or worked within one.
Exposure to investor relations or fundraising processes, and familiarity with the financial narrative that supports them.
