Head of Finance | SaaS | Series A | UK Remote/London

Zanda is working with a high-growth SaaS business developing cutting-edge technology for a range of industrial sectors. Backed by a recent £5m investment from a leading European VC, the company is scaling fast, with revenues growing from £1m to a forecasted £10m over the next 12–18 months.

The company’s AI-powered platform transforms how businesses capture and utilise data, streamlining operations and enabling predictive insights across sectors like energy, mining, and infrastructure.

With a growing customer base and a recurring revenue model, the business is preparing for its Series B fundraise and now seeks its first senior finance hire: a Head of Finance who can grow into a CFO role as the company scales. This role offers a great opportunity to build on a fundementally sound accounting skill set, stepping into a hands-on finance position with exposure to corporate development and fundraising activities.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone excited by the pace and variety of a scaleup environment, and eager to build a technologically advanced, high impact finance function from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and improve finance operations, controls and reporting across the business enabling technology wherever possible.
• Manage financial filings, board resolutions and investor reporting in coordination with external advisors.
• Own month end processes including cashflow forecasting and working capital planning.
• Work cross functionally with sales, ops and product teams to align commercial planning with financial goals.
• Partner closely with the CEO to shape financial strategy and support Series B fundraising.
• Lead forecasting, budgeting and financial modelling to support strategic decision making.
• Develop dashboards and KPIs to track product margins and SaaS metrics.

What background should you have before you press apply?

• Qualified Accountant (ACA, CIMA or ACCA).
• Experience in a high growth tech, SaaS or B2B environment.
• Comfortable in a Head of Finance or senior finance business partner role within a scaleup or SME.
