About 9fin
9fin is the AI platform powering global debt markets — the world’s largest asset class at over $145 trillion.
Debt markets are vast, global, and mission-critical, yet still run on fragmented data, PDFs, and manual workflows. 9fin replaces this broken infrastructure with a single platform that centralises proprietary credit data, deep analysis, and high-value workflows across global markets.
Today, 9fin powers teams at 300+ blue-chip institutions worldwide, including global banks, asset managers, private equity firms, law firms, and advisors. The business is scaling at exceptional speed, with rapid expansion in the US and best-in-class retention driven by deep workflow adoption.
We’re at a defining inflection point. With proven product-market fit and strong, global market pull, 9fin is accelerating toward becoming the category-defining platform for debt markets worldwide.
The Opportunity
This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role at the heart of a finance function that is scaling fast. As FP&A Manager, you will own the planning, reporting, and business partnering work that keeps 9fin’s leadership informed and its commercial decisions well-grounded.
You will work directly alongside the Senior Strategic Finance & FP&A Manager and sit at the intersection of finance, commercial, and operational teams. This is not a role for someone who wants to process numbers in the background. You will be expected to form views, tell the story behind the data, and challenge assumptions — while building the infrastructure that makes the finance function faster and sharper over time.
You will join at a moment when the FP&A function is still being shaped. That means genuine scope to influence how we plan, report, and partner with the business — and real opportunity to grow with the role as 9fin scales.
What You’ll Do
Planning & Forecasting
- Support the annual budget and rolling forecast processes — coordinating inputs across the business, stress-testing assumptions, and producing a consolidated view that reflects commercial reality.
- Build and maintain robust financial models that support scenario planning, headcount modelling, and long-range forecasting.
- Translate financial plans into actionable targets for commercial and operational teams, ensuring the budget is understood and owned beyond the finance function.
- Continuously improve forecast accuracy by refining methodologies and incorporating actuals analysis into future cycles.
- Support board and investor reporting cycles with modelling, narrative, and presentation preparation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Reporting & Analysis
- Own the headcount and financial model and lead report creation for the ELT — turning the numbers into clear, decision-ready narrative.
- Produce variance commentary that goes beyond the numbers: what happened, why it happened, and what it means for the business.
- Design and maintain KPI dashboards and reporting frameworks that give leadership real-time visibility into the metrics that matter.
- Track and report on SaaS metrics — ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, churn, and cohort performance — ensuring finance and commercial reporting are aligned.
- Partner with the Finance Systems Lead to ensure reporting infrastructure is built on clean, timely data from source systems.
- Support the build-out of investor-facing outputs as the business approaches future milestones.
Business Partnering
- Support business partnering across commercial, product, and operational teams — building relationships, developing financial insight, and adding value beyond the numbers.
- Understand the sales pipeline, analyse revenue performance, and help the business make better decisions.
- Support hiring decisions and headcount planning with clear financial analysis, working with Talent and functional leads to track actuals against plan.
- Provide ad hoc analysis and decision support across the business — building the case for investment, surfacing risks, and identifying opportunities.
AI & Automation
- This is a core part of the role — not a nice-to-have. We want someone who is genuinely excited about what AI and automation can do for a finance function, and who brings that energy into their day-to-day work.
- Use AI tools actively and practically: to accelerate reconciliations, automate recurring analyses, clean and validate data, and turn manual processes into repeatable workflows.
- Partner with the Finance Systems Lead to identify and embed automation across the FP&A function — from data ingestion to report generation.
- Bring a point of view on AI-powered FP&A tooling — whether that’s planning platforms, forecasting assistants, or BI tools — and contribute to the evaluation of future investments.
- Share knowledge and good habits with the broader finance team, helping build a culture of smart, tool-led working.
About You
This role will be a strong fit if you:
- Have a strong foundation in FP&A, ideally built in a SaaS or high-growth technology business where you’ve had to move fast and think commercially.
- Have an AI-native working style. You use AI tools day-to-day to sharpen your analysis, automate routine tasks, and do more with less — not just in theory.
- Are fluent in SaaS commercial metrics and understand the business model dynamics that sit behind them — ARR, NRR, churn, cohort economics, unit economics.
- Build models that are clean, well-structured, and actually used by the people they’re built for — not just technically correct.
- Can tell a clear story with data. You write crisp variance commentary, build accessible dashboards, and present confidently to senior audiences.
- Are a natural business partner. You build relationships with commercial and operational stakeholders, ask good questions, and add value beyond the numbers.
- Are comfortable operating in ambiguity, managing competing priorities, and delivering to deadlines without constant direction.
- Communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders — as comfortable discussing methodology with the Control team as presenting to the CEO.
- Are intellectually curious, self-motivated, and genuinely excited about building a finance function that operates ahead of the curve.
