Our advanced, multi-cloud platform delivers real-time data, unmatched scalability, and the flexibility of shared or dedicated processing instances. It's this global reach and innovation that sets us apart.

We're looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to drive our financial planning and performance insights across the global organisation.

  • Deliver detailed variance analyses and bridge financial results against budget and forecast
  • Produce written financial reports and presentations with clear commercial storytelling
  • Partner with FP&A to support the annual budget and periodic forecasting process
  • Use Excel and other tools to manipulate large datasets, identify performance drivers, and support decision-making
  • Identify and support implementation of FP&A process improvements through tooling or automation
  • Contribute to ad-hoc strategic financial projects, including modelling for business cases and investment analysis

Requirements

What it takes to succeed :

  • 3-5+ years in FP&A, private equity, or similar roles within fintech or SaaS environments
  • Strong analytical and accounting acumen, capable of interpreting full financial statements
  • Advanced Excel skills and experience working with large datasets
  • Skilled in building presentations and communicating financial concepts clearly to senior stakeholders
  • Commercial acumen with the ability to link numbers to business drivers
  • Experience with Sage ERP is a plus, with a strong tech-driven approach preferred
  • Professional certifications such as CFA, CIMA, or ACA are preferred
  • Education & Experience :

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field preferred
  • Minimum 3-5+ years of experience in financial planning and analysis within high-growth or SaaS / fintech environments
  • Hands-on experience with financial modelling and executive-level reporting
  • Professional certifications such as CFA, CIMA, or ACA are preferred
  • What you can look forward to :

    At Paymentology, it's not just about building great payment technology, it's about building a company where people feel they belong and their work matters. You'll be part of a diverse, global team that's genuinely committed to making a positive impact through what we do. Whether you're working across time zones or getting involved in initiatives that support local communities, you'll find real purpose in your work - and the freedom to grow in a supportive, forward-thinking environment.
