Role Summary
We are looking for a Financial Controller to serve as the financial authority on embedded finance across our portfolio. You will not only manage the financial integrity of our existing payment-enabled companies, but act as the internal subject matter expert guiding new acquisitions through the transition to modern, high-margin payment business models.
Key Responsibilities
Group Reporting: Oversee the consolidated close process, ensuring that the unique characteristics of payment revenue (merchant fees, pass-through costs, settlement cycles, payment terminal revenues and costs) are accurately captured in our group-wide reporting.
Coordinate the collections of non-financial data that drive the performance of everfields embedded Finance functions (GMV, GMV penetrations, merchants and attachment rates) and partner with business intelligence and payments to continuously elevate management reporting across the embedded finance value chain
Strategic support: Partner with Portfolio MDs and finance business partners to help them understand the unit economics of their payment products, enabling them to make data-driven decisions on pricing and distribution. Assess and develop lending and leasing models for Payment and POS hardware in cooperation with Payments and relevant BUs.
Budgeting and Forecasting: work with FP&A FBP's and BU leaders to prepare and maintain the budgets and forecast for Everfield embedded payments including revenue modelling for payment terminals.
Payments Unit Economics & P&L ownership: Lead the design and reporting of "take-rate" models for portfolio companies integrating embedded payments. You will translate transaction flows into accurate revenue recognition and margin reporting. For this you will work closely with the Payments Pricing Lead on pricing models and merchant and BU payment profitability.
Post-Acquisition Integration: When Everfield acquires a business (e.g., a POS provider in the hospitality or retail space), you will lead the financial onboarding. You will be responsible for mapping their legacy billing into an integrated payments-enabled framework.
Work with Strategic and finance business partners to drive Everfields embedded payments initiatives.

You understand the SaaS business model (recurring revenue, churn, customer acquisition costs) and how to layer payments on top of it.
You have experience working within a private equity / M&A / investment environment previously.
You are proficient with modern financial stacks (NetSuite etc.) and are comfortable working with API-based data and BI tools (PowerBI) to visualise payment performance.
You can explain complex payment economics to a non-finance stakeholder, helping them understand the value of the "payments-enabled" transition.
