Nodes & Links is an AI-first SaaS platform helping organizations manage very large, complex projects (nuclear plants, data centers, etc.). The company has raised $30M, counts Intel, AECOM, and BAM as clients, and is recognized by TechNation, Construction Tech Review, and Amazon as an industry leader. This is the first dedicated FP&A hire in the business.
In this role, you will own the financial planning and analysis function from the ground up, shaping it rather than inheriting it. Key responsibilities include:
- Own the Group budget, reforecasts, and long-term plan, challenging assumptions and improving forecast accuracy over time
- Build and maintain the Group's three-statement financial model (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
- Produce monthly Group performance reporting: actuals vs. budget, KPIs, and cash flow analysis
- Support Board pack and investor reporting preparation with the Finance Director
- Act as the bridge between finance and sales, ensuring Salesforce data reconciles to reported ARR
- Partner with department heads to review variances, explain performance drivers, and hold budgets accountable
- Provide scenario analysis and commercial modeling to support strategic decisions
- Work closely with the Finance Director and Group Finance Manager on accurate, consistent financial reporting
- Drive process improvement and automation across FP&A and reporting
You are someone who owns outcomes, not tasks. You bring analysis proactively, challenge assumptions (including your own), flag problems early, and communicate with clarity and directness. The company values hard work (not workaholism), data-driven decision-making, independent thinking, and strong teamwork.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) or equivalent
- Substantial FP&A experience, including building a three-statement, driver-based model from scratch (not just maintaining one)
- Experience owning a full budget cycle with department heads, including challenging conversations
- Advanced financial modeling and Excel skills
- Strong understanding of cash flow and business-driving KPIs
- Confidence to challenge senior stakeholders and provide clear commercial insight
- Comfortable working in a group structure with multiple currencies
- Embrace the use of AI
NICE-TO-HAVES:
- SaaS experience and fluency in subscription metrics (ARR, churn, net revenue retention)
- Experience at Series B or similar scale, where the model must be built rather than inherited
- Experience working with Salesforce or other CRM data
