FP&A Business Partner

Join beqom — where tech meets impact beqom is a high-growth B2B SaaS company powered by Intentional AI that provides industry-leading tools for pay equity and transparency, compensation, and performance management. Trusted by leading global enterprises, beqom empowers HR leaders to make smarter, compliant pay decisions that win and keep top talent. Role Overview Are you an experienced finance professional who wants to move beyond reporting the numbers to shaping the decisions behind them, in a fast-growing enterprise B2B SaaS business? We are looking for a Financial Planning & Analysis Business Partner to own the forecasting, planning and performance analysis engine of the business, and to act as a trusted commercial partner to senior leaders across Sales, Marketing, Professional Services, Customer Success, Product & Engineering and G&A. You will own our rolling forecast, the annual strategic budget, the monthly forecasting and operations review cycle and regular Board reporting covering SaaS metrics, headcount, EBITDA and cash planning. Just as importantly, you will own the story behind those numbers: what is changing, why it is changing, what it means for the business plan, and the recommended actions. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting into the Head of Reporting & Analysis, with end-to-end ownership of the FP&A agenda. You will also be expected to lead on how AI is embedded into finance workflows, using it to compress cycle times and expand the depth of analysis we can deliver. This is not a data reporting role: we are hiring for judgement, commercial insight and executive presence as much as technical finance skill. What you’ll be doing Forecasting & planning cycle Own the rolling forecast, the annual strategic budget and the long-range plan. Run a disciplined planning calendar incorporating monthly operations reviews and regular Board meetings, with clear assumptions, version control and forecast accuracy tracked and improved over time. SaaS metrics & commercial insight Own the definition, reporting, forecasting and analysis of our core SaaS metrics, including cARR/ARR and the ARR bridge, GRR, NRR, churn and contraction, CAC and CAC payback, LTV:CAC, magic number and Rule of 40. Translate movements in these metrics into insight leadership can act on. Headcount planning Own the headcount forecasting model as the single source of truth for headcount and people costs, working with the Head of HR and the CFO to forecast costs, hiring plans, leavers and long-term headcount planning. Model the P&L and cash impact of hiring scenarios and organisation design changes. EBITDA & cash planning Forecast and analyse the full P&L down to EBITDA and cash, including opex by function, gross software margin and services margin bridges, working capital, deferred revenue and runway. Provide early warning on risks and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and cash conversion in conjunction with the wider Finance team. Executive business partnering Act as the finance partner to senior executives across the business. Bring an independent, commercially credible point of view, challenge assumptions constructively, and help leaders make better decisions on investment, pricing, resourcing and prioritisation. Board & investor reporting Prepare the financial content for operations and Board packs with supporting analysis, including performance against plan, variance narrative, scenario analysis and the outlook. Present clearly and defend the numbers under scrutiny. AI-enabled finance Guide the adoption of AI across the FP&A workflow, from forecast modelling and scenario generation to variance commentary, anomaly detection, data preparation and self-service reporting. Set the standards for how the team uses AI safely and effectively, and continuously look for the next process to automate or augment. Systems, data & process improvement Work with existing forecasting and reporting systems to strengthen the data foundation behind planning and reporting, connecting CRM, ERP and HRIS into a single source of truth. Progress continuous improvement in forecast cycle time, data quality and the self-service reporting available to the business. What you’ll bring Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CPA or equivalent) with demonstrated senior level experience in FP&A, commercial finance or a comparable role. Experience in enterprise B2B SaaS or another recurring-revenue technology business, ideally in a high-growth or scaling environment. Deep working knowledge of SaaS metrics and unit economics: ARR bridge, GRR, NRR, churn, CAC, CAC payback, LTV:CAC, magic number and Rule of 40, and how they connect to operational drivers. Proven track record owning rolling forecasts, annual budgets and integrated three-statement or driver-based models, including headcount, EBITDA and cash planning. Demonstrable experience partnering with C-level and senior executives outside of finance, with the credibility to challenge and influence without authority. Genuine adoption of AI in day-to-day finance work, with a clear view on where it adds value, where it does not, and the curiosity and appetite to keep pushing that boundary. Advanced financial modelling skills in Excel or Google Sheets, plus hands-on experience with an EPM or planning platform. Ability to conduct sophisticated analysis of complex data and translate the results into a clear narrative, recommendation and presentation for a non-finance audience. Highly organised and able to run a demanding reporting calendar to deadline without sacrificing quality. Hands-on, high-ownership mindset, comfortable with ambiguity and a building process where none exists. Excellent English language skills. Confidence with BI tooling such as Power BI, Tableau or Looker. Comfort working with SQL and structured data models across CRM (HubSpot), ERP (Sage Intacct), planning models (BobFinance) and HRIS (BambooHR). This role is ideal for an FP&A professional who enjoys operating hands-on, wants their analysis to change decisions rather than simply describe them, and is excited by the opportunity to build a modern, AI-enabled finance function in a fast-growing SaaS business.
