Checkout.com is seeking an Associate to join the Strategic Finance and Planning team in London. This role sits at the intersection of corporate FP&A and departmental finance operations, serving as a strategic business partner to Finance, Legal, Compliance, and Marketing leadership. You will own financial planning and analysis for assigned business areas while contributing to broader corporate financial processes. Key responsibilities include supporting executive teams on resourcing alignment with business roadmaps, managing the annual budgeting cycle by gathering requirements and coordinating stakeholder submissions, and producing detailed financial analysis that enables senior leaders to make informed decisions. You'll assist in running quarterly forecast updates and monthly management information packs, identify and implement process improvements to enhance information flow between management accounts and FP&A, and provide financial insights to support investment and project decisions. The role requires strong data integrity oversight across group budgets and reporting, working cross-functionally to ensure consistency and quality. You'll transform raw data into tailored reporting that reflects departmental operational needs while harmonizing growth initiatives with overall financial health and scaling strategy. Ideal candidates bring 3+ years of FP&A, strategic finance, or business analysis experience. Advanced Excel and Google Sheets proficiency is essential, along with familiarity with business systems like Adaptive and Alteryx. You should be an excellent communicator capable of articulating insights clearly and influencing stakeholders. A self-starter mentality with proven problem-solving and implementation skills is critical. Experience in Financial Services and Payments is valued but not required. Checkout.com powers over 10 billion transactions yearly for more than one billion global shoppers, serving companies like eBay, Spotify, Klarna, Uber, and Sony. The company operates 20 offices across six continents with London as headquarters. The hybrid model offers three days per week in-office to support collaboration.
