The finance team is lean and works across Lawhive's UK and US entities, partnering with product, engineering, legal operations, and the exec team. Over the next 12‑18 months the team is focused on: building systems, controls and reporting for a multi‑entity group on the path to audit; creating real‑time, decision‑grade data on cash flow, margins and unit economics; integrating acquired entities into a unified finance function; and automating workflows across payables, payroll, tax, FP&A and revenue accounting.

Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Senior FP&A Analyst to own financial planning for a fast‑scaling, multi‑entity group. This is the sole FP&A role in the business, so you will own forecasting, budgeting and financial modelling end‑to‑end, working directly with finance leadership and senior stakeholders across product, engineering, operations and commercial teams. The role suits someone who has built FP&A foundations before, ideally in a startup or scale‑up, who knows what good looks like in a high‑growth environment, is comfortable creating structure from ambiguity, and can act as a trusted advisor on performance, trade‑offs and strategy as we scale across the UK and US.

• Business Partnering: Work closely with functional leaders to understand performance, risks and future requirements; translate financial insights into clear, actionable recommendations; provide commercial input on new initiatives and operational decisions; build strong relationships and support decision‑making with high‑quality data.
• Reporting and Insight: Produce monthly reporting packs with commentary, analysis and a clear narrative; track revenue, margins, unit economics and operational KPIs; improve reporting processes, dashboards and data visibility across the business; maintain audit‑ready documentation and ensure accuracy and consistency across outputs.
• Building the Function: Build scalable FP&A tools, processes and reporting frameworks; run the budgeting cycle and set up standardised planning processes across teams; partner with the Management Accounting team on performance reviews, month‑end insight and variance analysis; strengthen financial governance and planning discipline across the business.

About You

• Significant experience in FP&A, commercial finance, or strategic analysis.
• Experience in a startup or scale‑up, ideally having built or rebuilt an FP&A function.
• Strong financial modelling capability and advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills.
• Confident analysing complex data sets and translating them into clear recommendations.
