Team: FP&A

Location: London, UK

Easol is the leading all-in-one ‘experience commerce’ platform built to power experience businesses including festivals, wellness retreats, food and drink, sports and adventure trips. With Easol, experience businesses have complete control to drive more direct sales, retain more revenue, own their data and run their business on their terms.

Easol has deep roots in experiences. The platform was founded by former festival founders, Lisa and Ben Simpson in 2017, after the husband and wife team endured challenges and frustrations first-hand while setting up and growing their own experience business including Rise, Europe’s biggest Snowsports and music festival, and Beyond Adventures, a series of adventure travel experiences in remote locations such as the Sahara desert and the Swedish archipelago.

Role

As senior FP&A Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in running and developing our FP&A capabilities. This is a very ‘commercial’ FP&A role - you’ll work closely with account managers, creators and other stakeholders to understand their business cycles, trends, etc. Your insights will help us forecast revenue accurately, optimize financial performance, and support decision-making at both operational and strategic levels.

Responsibilities

• Forecasting and Budgeting: Own, develop, refine, and maintain financial models to forecast revenue, transaction volumes, and other key metrics.
• Performance Analysis: Monitor and analyze financial performance, identifying trends, risks, and opportunities to provide actionable insights and recommendations to improve gross margins, and operational efficiency - as well as forecasting accuracy.
• Regularly review and update data underpinning our forecasts, e.g. transactional volumes.
• Work closely with Account Managers and Creators directly to forecast volumes.
• Identify investment as well as cost saving opportunities, working closely with teams across the business to integrate the benefits of financial thinking more generally at Easol.
• Develop new, data-driven and scalable processes that will allow us to improve the accuracy and efficiency or our forecasting (partnering with Data Engineers where applicable).
• Prepare and present regular financial reports and forecasts to the team, board, investors, etc. and support the preparation of board materials and investor updates.
