Revenue and commercial controls
- Reconcile deal revenue, agent fees and customer incentives in HubSpot against finance records.
- Own subscription billing policy in Stripe, including the approval process for discounts and fee waivers.
- Run spend analysis across vendors and flag cost trends
Systems, process and special projects

- Solid UK GAAP (FRS 102) knowledge, including consolidation and intercompany.
- Strong Excel skills: building clean, formula-driven reconciliations and models others can follow.
- Confident working with large datasets from multiple sources (bank exports, Stripe, CRM): cleaning and joining them, spotting patterns and anomalies, and turning them into clear insights.
- Clear, concise communication with non-finance colleagues, and comfort working in a fast-moving startup.
