FP&A Lead

Zanda is partnering with a high growth technology business that is transforming a sector through innovative software solutions. With revenues at c.£15m and forecast to grow 30 to 40% year on year, the company is scaling rapidly and building towards a future transaction.

The business has strong commercial momentum, a proven product suite used by thousands of customers, and ambitious plans for further expansion. As they enter their next phase of growth, they are now hiring their first FP&A Lead to build a best in class commercial finance function, providing insight and analysis to support strategic decision making across the company.

• Act as a commercial partner to the FD and leadership team, shaping financial strategy as the business scales.
• Support fundraising and future transaction readiness, including financial modelling, investor materials, and due diligence.
• Drive strategic projects such as pricing optimisation, unit economics, and market expansion analysis.
• Provide board level insight and play a visible role in scaling the company’s value creation journey.
