FP&A Lead (Strategic Finance)
About Apron
Apron is focused on helping more small and medium businesses succeed. The biggest threat to small business is cash flow, often stemming from a gap between the demand payments put on owners and the aptitude to make the payments effectively.
We are closing the gap by digitising and simplifying the payments process: capturing invoices, issuing expense cards, paying and getting paid, all in one place.
We have grown fast over the past few years, expanding our team to circa 100 individuals across the UK, Germany, Spain and more. We are backed by Index Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Zinal Grow and Tony Fadell and we’ve raised $50m.
Who we’re looking for
Apron’s in-house finance function is growing, we’re scaling it from the ground up and that means there’s all sorts of varied tasks to get stuck into, from bread and butter forecasting and modeling, to product specific strategic analysis, producing management information and much much more.
