Finance Manager / Management Accountant - SaaS - First time mover

First Move from Practice? Step into a High-Growth SaaS Environment

I'm currently partnering with two exciting, early-stage SaaS businesses that are hiring newly created finance hires, perfect for ambitious Top 10 auditors ready to make their first move into industry.

These aren't backfill roles, they're genuine growth hires, giving you a rare opportunity to step into a business at a formative stage and play a key role in scaling the finance function.

The Opportunity

You'll join as the second-in-finance, working closely with an experienced Head of Finance / Finance Director and gaining exposure well beyond a typical first move:

• Own and evolve management accounts & reporting
• Partner with founders and non-finance stakeholders
• Get involved in FP&A, commercial analysis, and SaaS metrics (ARR, churn, LTV/CAC)
• Support process improvement, controls, and system implementation
• Play an active role in fundraising / investor reporting (depending on business)

Why This Move Stands Out

These are not "safe" moves, they are career accelerators:

• True exposure in a scaling SaaS environment
• High visibility with founders and investors
• A chance to shape the finance function early
• Clear progression as the business grows
• Dynamic, ambitious, and collaborative cultures

If you're someone who wants more than just a steady industry role, this is your chance to step into something with real upside.

Who This Suits

• ACA / ACCA recently qualified (or close to qualifying)
• Currently in a Top 10 practice
• Strong grounding in audit (tech / SaaS exposure a plus but not essential)
• Someone who is commercially curious, proactive, and keen to get stuck in
• Looking for a high-impact move rather than a comfort-zone exit
