About the role
Spotted Zebra is growing quickly. We are looking for a part‑time Financial Controller to take on that responsibility, working around two days per week and reporting directly to our CEO. This is a broad and visible role, giving our leadership team and board a clear, trusted view of performance, cash and risk, and helping us make confident decisions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Review our existing finance systems, models, controls and processes, then update and adapt them to reflect where the business is today.
- Own the month-end timetable and manage the working relationship with our outsourced finance partner.
- Review the monthly management accounts in detail, checking revenue, costs, accruals, prepayments, deferred income and other material judgements.
- Resolve issues with the relevant people across Spotted Zebra, maintain a clear action log and make sure corrections are completed before the accounts reach the CEO.
- Own and maintain our rolling cash‑flow forecast.
- Lead the annual budget and regular re‑forecasting process.
- Model the cash and profit impact of planned hiring, changes in customer timing, investment decisions and other scenarios.
- Prepare the financial section of the board pack.
- Oversee commission plans and calculations.
What success looks like
Success means monthly accounts are accurate, complete and finalised through a dependable process. The cash‑flow forecast is current and trusted, and hiring or spending decisions can be modelled quickly.
You’ll be a great fit if you:
- Are a qualified accountant, ideally ACA, ACCA or CIMA.
- Have worked as a Financial Controller or in a comparable hands‑on finance role.
- Have experience in a growing SaaS, technology or other recurring‑revenue business.
- Can build and maintain cash‑flow forecasts, budgets and scenario models.
- Are comfortable managing an outsourced bookkeeping or accounting partner.
- Understand relevant SaaS measures such as ARR, bookings, revenue, gross margin, retention and cash runway.
- Have strong spreadsheet skills.
- Can communicate financial information clearly and challenge assumptions constructively.
- Have experience improving finance systems, models, controls and processes as a company grows.
Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
At Spotted Zebra, we welcome people of all stripes. We are committed to providing equal opportunities and an inclusive and diverse culture.
