Company Overview: Mooncup began with a clear goal: to give people a healthier, sustainable way to manage their periods - no petroleum plastic, no irritants, no compromises. Back in 2002, we launched the world’s first medical grade silicone menstrual cup, pioneering a movement in period care that put health and the planet first. We saw an industry where profit often came before people, where ingredients were hidden, and where plastics reigned. So, we made it our mission to challenge these norms and push for better. Our vision is to be the world’s biggest period care brand. Not only have we just launched Mooncup into Sainsbury’s, Boots, Holland & Barrett and Look Fantastic, but we’re also partnered with a growing range of workplaces, gyms and hotels (such as Canva, Danone, Gymshark, Claridges) to give their employees, guests and members free access in their bathrooms. We’re still leading the change in period care, using only science-backed ingredients that are actually good for your vagina. Because at Mooncup, we believe your period products should work with your body - not against it.

Key Responsibilities:

Ensure accurate and timely financial records and adherence to UK accounting standards. Coordinate year-end processes and support the preparation of statutory accounts and tax filings.

Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A): Lead the financial planning cycle including annual budgets, quarterly re-forecasts, and long-term financial planning.

Deliver commercial insights on revenue, margin, and cost drivers to support operational and strategic decisions. Partner with department heads to align financial targets with operational plans.

Report on DSO, cash collection, and credit risk, while building scalable credit control processes suited to a fast-growing FMCG startup.
