We get financial data…
We’re a team of passionate, data-driven people on a mission to help the accounting and financial services industries move faster with better data. Our platform is built to extract and standardise accounting data, making it easy for audit firms and financial institutions to securely connect to their customers’ accounting packages. Validis is a B2B SaaS company with operations in the UK, US, and Australia.
Our clients include the Big Four, global banks, and national firms who use Validis to streamline data collection. Validis has experienced significant growth since its inception and to support this, we are looking to expand our teams across a number of strategic areas.
Off the back of our growth trajectory and ambitious plans, this is a high-impact role supporting the CFO in providing insight into the financial performance of the business while identifying and seizing opportunities. It’s a genuinely commercial, analytical role within a fast-paced SaaS start-up, ideal for a qualified accountant who wants to move beyond reporting the numbers to shaping the decisions behind them.
You’ll work in close partnership with department leads and the executive team to provide accurate, timely and comprehensive forecasting.
We’re a modern finance function, moving from static annual budgets toward continuous, driver-based planning, owning the SaaS metrics that matter,
Key responsibilities of the Finance Manager

Drive continuous improvement toward scalable, well-controlled planning processes and a single source of truth, applying automation and AI to streamline forecasting, reporting and analysis.
About you
You’re a hands-on, commercially minded qualified accountant who’s comfortable being close to the detail in a lean start-up finance team while still communicating at a strategic level. You’re motivated to add value and insight, not just report on the numbers
Strong Excel and financial modelling skills, including building integrated three-statement (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) models from scratch.
Experience in SaaS, fintech or a high-growth / invested start-up or scale-up (very desirable), and comfortable in a fast-moving, resource-conscious environment.
Strong commercial acumen, able to translate pipeline detail into clear, actionable insight for senior, non-finance stakeholders.
