About the FP&A Team

The financial planning and analysis function (FP&A) is at the heart of Trustly's financial management. By providing timely, accurate and a well-communicated view of the financial position and performance of the business as well as centrally coordinating activities such as budgeting and forecasting across the group, the FP&A team supports a strong financial management of the company. It is also involved in what we report to other stakeholders (investors, financial regulatory bodies etc).

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced FP&A Manager to lead our central FP&A function. This critical role will be responsible for providing reporting, strategic insights and financial guidance to the executive team, driving the monthly reporting, budgeting and forecasting process, and supporting key business decisions. The ideal candidate will be a commercially-minded, strategic thinker with excellent analytical skills, strong business judgment, excellent communication abilities (oral and written) and a proven track record of setting up financial processes and reporting in a fast-paced and dynamic startup or scale-up environment or in a new business unit within a more established business.

What you'll do

• Orchestrate the month-end management reporting cycle, partnering closely with Accounting to bridge the gap between "the close" and "the story". Deliver high-impact variance analysis (Actuals vs. Budget/Forecast) that identifies the root causes of performance shifts.
• Drive the monthly management reporting cadence, working with the accounting team to ensure accurate reporting and timely monthly variance analysis.
• Own the forecast (and/or Risk & Opportunity) cycle, with inputs from business partnering teams, and interpreting the output against the company targets.
• Own the rolling forecast and Risk & Opportunity (R&O) processes; act as a translator between departmental inputs and the bottom line, ensuring the forecast remains a realistic "path to target" rather than just a data exercise.
• Coordinate teams to identify tactical "levers" to drive growth or cost reduction to course correct to achieve company targets.
• Identify and quantify "business levers"—such as unit cost optimisations or volume drivers—to course-correct performance; provide the data-backed rationale for leadership to pull these levers to stay on track with annual goals.
• Maintain/develop the management accounts infrastructure, including P&L structure and tools.
• Architect and maintain the Management Accounts P&L structure; ensure our financial reporting hierarchy evolves alongside our product expansion, allowing for granular visibility into Domain and Merchant profitability.
• Run the annual planning process, from initial development and set up of appropriate tooling (including any third party planning software), reporting and templates, to final Board outputs.
• Develop and maintain the Long-Range Plan in collaboration with Corporate Development; model various multi-year strategic scenarios to assess the long-term financial health and capital requirements of the business.
• Support external reporting (Investors, Board, and Financial Regulators) ensuring reports are consistent, accurate, and reflect our internal performance narrative.

Who you are

• The Architect: You have a proven track record of building financial processes from scratch in a fast-paced Fintech or SaaS environment.
• Analytical Powerhouse: You possess advanced modelling skills and aren’t afraid to dive into databases (SQL/VBA) to find the truth in the data.
• The Communicator: You have a commercial mindset, and can distill complex financial concepts into clear narratives for non-finance stakeholders and investors.
• Systems Thinker: You have experience with BI tools (Quicksight/Qlik) and planning/performance management software to drive "single source of truth" reporting.
• Degree in Business Administration, Accounting, Economics, or Statistics.
• Advanced/Fluent English.
