About the Role:

73 Strings has been consistently growing and innovating. Our FP&A function needs to keep pace — and that means bringing in a sharp, commercially curious analyst who wants to do more than process numbers.

This role sits at the centre of financial planning, reporting, and analysis for a scaling AI SaaS business. You'll report to the Head of FP&A, supporting the financial infrastructure that underpins board reporting, investor communications, and strategic decision-making. If you're part-qualified (ACCA, CIMA, or ACA), intellectually curious, and want exposure to the full finance stack of a high-growth company, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

Support the monthly close process — variance analysis, management accounts, and board-ready reporting packs.

• Maintain the rolling forecast model across ARR, headcount, and cash runway; track SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, CAC payback, gross margin) and flag movements that need explaining.

• Analyse revenue performance by product, cohort, and segment — identifying trends, not just reporting them.

• Partner with function leads across the business to build, monitor and maintain budgets and forecasts — translating their plans into financial terms and their results back into business language.

• Identify reporting inefficiencies and fix them; use AI tools actively to automate repetitive analysis, draft commentary, and accelerate model-building.

• Flag risks & opportunities before they show up in the financials, using early signals from the business rather than waiting for month-end close.

• Support other ah doc projects as required by the business.

Requirements:

• Part-qualified in ACCA, CIMA, or ACA — actively studying, CIMA preferred. Study support (exam costs, study leave provided).

• 2–3 years in an FP&A, finance, or commercial analyst role (SaaS or tech experience a plus).

• Comfortable in Excel at an advanced level — model-building, not just model-reading.

• Hands-on experience using AI tools in a finance context — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar — to speed up analysis, draft output, or handle repetitive tasks.

• Exposure to NetSuite or a comparable ERP, and CRM tools such as HubSpot — comfortable pulling data, reconciling outputs, and working across systems.

• Analytical instinct: you don't just describe numbers, you ask why they moved.

• Able to work with ambiguous data and state your assumptions clearly.

• Strong attention to detail without losing sight of the commercial story.

• Effective communicator — you can translate financial output into plain language for non-finance stakeholders.
