  • Provide financial insights and recommendations to support strategic goals
Reporting & Strategic Insights
  • Prepare monthly packs with crisp, visual financial storytelling.
  • Translate trends into action: what we should stop, start or double down on.
Process & Systems Improvement
  • Identify and drive automation in forecasting, reporting, and data collection.
  • Establish reliable data flows from transactional systems (e.g., sportsbook/casino platforms) into models.
  • Help evaluate and implement FP&A tooling as we scale.
Special Projects
  • Scenario modelling for new product launches, market expansions, and strategic partnerships (e.g., affiliates, agents).
  • Ad hoc C-suite requests include unit economics, pricing models, or new revenue streams.
