Role
Who you are
- You've been FD or Head of Finance at a scaling company—or you've been the senior finance person doing FD-level work without the title. Either way, you know what good looks like and you're not intimidated by building it
- You can close the books, but that's table stakes. What matters is whether you can translate the numbers into decisions. Can you sit in a leadership meeting and add value beyond the finance update? Can you challenge a plan that doesn't make sense?
- You don't want a big team to manage. You want a small team that ships. You think about automation first, headcount second. You set high standards and hold people to them
- SaaS/subscription revenue model experience
- Multi-entity, multi-currency operations
- Strong FP&A skills—can build and own the model
- Experience building or leading finance teams
- Clear communicator who translates numbers into decisions
- Experience scaling a finance function through significant growth
- Vertical SaaS or construction/infrastructure exposure
- Xero, Chargebee, Airwallex, Rippling familiarity
- Investor reporting and board experience
What the job involves
- We're hiring a Finance Director to build the finance function for the next phase
- We've scaled with a tiny finance team and a lot of resourcefulness. That got us here. It won't get us to where we're going
- We need someone to professionalise finance without over-engineering it—build the infrastructure for scale while keeping us fast
- You'll inherit a working system, not a blank slate. External accountants in UK and AUS. Rippling for payroll. Xero, Chargebee, Airwallex
- A family office FD who's done a brilliant job and will stay on as oversight. Your job is to take ownership, raise the bar, and build a small team that punches above its weight
- The financial model is yours. Forecasts, scenarios, cash runway, sensitivity analysis. When the CEO asks "what if we accelerate NA hiring by 6 months?" you have the answer—or you know how to get it fast. You're not just reporting what happened; you're pressure-testing what's next
- Month-end close across two entities. Payroll in four countries. Multi-currency treasury. Intercompany accounting. Revenue recognition on a subscription model. Billing and collections. Commission calculations. None of this is optional, and none of it should require heroics every month. Your job is to systematise it
- You'll hire and lead a small finance team—probably 1-2 people focused on finance operations. We're automation-first: every process you build should assume you won't have headcount to throw at it
- His isn't a back-office role. You'll be in leadership meetings, challenging assumptions, flagging risks, and helping the business make better decisions. When we're debating whether to open a new market or accelerate a product bet, finance has a seat at the table
- We're building a global platform. New markets opening. Multiple products in flight. The decisions we make in the next few years will determine whether we become the category leader or an also-ran
- Finance isn't a support function here—it's how we know if our bets are working. We need someone who can give us that visibility without slowing us down. Someone who builds for the long term but moves fast in the short term
- This is a CFO-track role. We're not hiring a caretaker; we're hiring someone to build a crack finance operation and be around the table as we build the company
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Aphex is a connected planning platform that simplifies the construction process by providing project teams with a unified view of their work. By integrating scheduling, reporting and collaboration into a single platform, Aphex helps teams stay aligned and address issues proactively, enhancing communication and efficiency across construction teams.
With features like automated updates and customisable visualisations, teams can quickly access the information they need, reducing the time spent on administrative tasks. This focus on lookahead planning fosters a more cohesive work environment, allowing construction teams to work smarter and deliver projects more efficiently.
