Head of FP&A

Head of FP&A to a Nordic Leading SaaS Company
Our client is a leading Nordic SaaS group within their niche with a growing international presence, providing scalable software solutions to both private and public sectors with more than SEK 700m in revenues. The group is on an ambitious growth journey, combining organic growth with acquisitions across the Nordics and beyond to become the number one player in Europe. 
The company is now looking for a Head of FP&A to take full ownership of financial planning, performance management, and business insight across the group. This is a pivotal role for the company, where you will professionalise the FP&A function and act as the CFO’s closest sparring partner in both strategic and operational decision-making.
The FP&A team will consist of 3–4 professionals located in Stockholm and Oslo, and the role reports directly to the CFO.

The role:
As Head of FP&A, you will be responsible for taking the company’s financial planning, reporting, and analytical capabilities to the next level. Today, FP&A infrastructure and processes are relatively limited, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys building structure, introducing modern tools, and creating clarity in a complex, fast-moving environment.
You will play a central role in ensuring that management, the board, and owners have timely, relevant, and decision-ready insights to drive growth, profitability, and capital allocation.

Your role will include but not be limited to
•    Act as a strategic partner to the CFO, supporting executive management with financial insights and recommendations
•    Build and scale a best-in-class FP&A and reporting function, including tools, processes, and governance
•    Own and lead budgeting, forecasting, scenario analysis, and long-range planning across the group
•    Develop and maintain SaaS-focused KPIs and performance dashboards for management, board, and owners
•    Ensure high-quality monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting, including variance and trend analysis
•    Prepare decision material and presentations for board meetings, investments, cost initiatives, and strategic projects
•    Drive analysis of cost structure, profitability, cash flow, and unit economics, translating data into actionable insights
•    Lead process improvement and automation across FP&A, BI, and reporting workflows
•    Support post-merger integrations and strategic initiatives through ad-hoc analysis and business cases
•    Lead, coach, and develop the FP&A team, fostering a high-performance and insight-driven culture
•    Collaborate closely with other functions (Product, Sales, Operations, M&A) to strengthen financial decision-making across the organisation

We are looking for someone who
•    Has senior experience within FP&A, Business Controlling, or Commercial Finance, ideally in a SaaS, tech, or PE-backed environment
•    Has experienced a growing FP&A function and enjoys creating structure where little exists
•    Is highly analytical, structured, and comfortable presenting insights to CFO, executive management, board, and owners
•    Has strong experience in financial modelling, forecasting, and BI/reporting tools
•    Is proactive, business-driven, and comfortable taking full end-to-end ownership of the FP&A agenda
•    Brings strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to turn complex data into clear strategic narratives

Background & qualifications
•    5+ years of experience in FP&A, controlling, or similar roles
•    Advanced skills in Excel and preferred but not required BI tools (e.g. Power BI)
•    Bachelor’s or master’s degree in finance, Accounting, or Economics
