Finance Analyst

About Electric Miles

Electric Miles is a fast-scaling EV charging and energy flexibility SaaS platform. We partner with manufacturers, utilities, and charge point operators to manage 500,000+ energy assets and over 200 MWs of grid flexibility in the coming years.

We're transitioning from startup to scale-up and are actively fundraising our bridge round (closing April 2026). This is a pivotal moment and we need a sharp, ambitious finance professional to help us get investor-ready and build robust financial operations.

Our team of 28 spans four continents. You'll work directly and report to the Head of Product & Finance and have regular exposure to our CEO and investor discussions.

The Role

This is not a back-office bookkeeping job. You will be our sole finance and commercial analyst owning day-to-day finance operations while building models, supporting pricing strategy, and preparing for financial due diligence.

You'll replace our outgoing contractor, taking full ownership of our books, reporting, and month-end close while also stepping into investor calls and commercial analysis. This role requires someone who is detail-oriented, commercially curious, and confident in front of stakeholders.

If you're early in your career, eager to learn, and want real responsibility in a pre-fundraise environment, this is your opportunity.

What You'll Own

Finance Operations & Accounting (Day-to-Day)

• Full ownership of Xero: bookkeeping, general ledger, reconciliations, and month-end close
• Manage accounts payable and receivable: supplier payments, invoice tracking, collections
• Raise and track customer invoices, credit notes, and follow up on overdue payments
• Prepare VAT returns and coordinate with external accountants for statutory filings
• Maintain accurate accruals, prepayments, and journal entries

• Ensure financial data is always accurate, up-to-date, and audit-ready

Commercial Analysis & Pricing

• Support pricing models and contract economics for sales and operations
• Analyze customer profitability and unit economics across products
• Build Excel-based financial models to support commercial decision-making
• Work with the sales team on deal structures and margin analysis
• Revisit and optimize current pricing strategy to align with scale-up growth

Fundraising & Investor Support

• Help prepare for financial due diligence ahead of our bridge round (April 2026)
• Build and maintain financial models for equity raises and investor scenarios
• Support data room preparation: clean financials, KPIs, and supporting documentation
• Prepare investor-ready narratives and metrics (ARR, CAC, LTV, churn, etc.)
• Attend investor calls and confidently communicate financial performance and projections

What You Bring

Must-Haves
