About Us

Bridgit is a leading non-bank lender transforming the way Australians access property equity. Purpose-built to make property transactions faster and easier, we pioneered the Buy Now, Sell Later solution - empowering homeowners to unlock their property equity and move on their terms. With a simple digital application, fast approvals, and flexible loan options, we're making property finance seamless and stress-free. We're now five years old and making huge strides. We've accredited over three-quarters of Australia's broker network, and launched white label solutions with Australia's largest aggregators - Connective, Aussie Home Loans, Finsure, and Loan Market Group - and we're just getting started. Our momentum has been recognised with awards including Best Growth Story at the 2025 Fintech Awards, the 2025 Finder People's Choice Award for Lending Innovation, Deloitte's Tech Fast 50 2025, and a place among LinkedIn's Top 20 Startups in Australia 2025 & 2026.

DIFFERENCE YOU'LL MAKE

As FP&A; Lead you will run the engine that turns Bridgit’s growth plans into targets, budgets and performance the business can act on. You will set the numbers, track them, explain them to the executive team, and challenge the business when the numbers and the plan diverge. This is a senior, hands-on role. You will mentor two strategic finance analysts from day one, with a path to leading them as the role is established.

Why this role would suit you

Two things are worth saying plainly, because they determine whether this role suits you. First, much of the work is recurring. Targets, forecasts, performance and reporting come round every month and every quarter, and the business relies on them. Over time, the aim is to automate more of it,



so the role spends less time producing numbers and more time analysing them, helping the business see where to course-correct and why. Strategy and corporate development sit with the Head of Strategic Finance, and this role helps make that possible. Second, you will hold the line and build the work yourself. Sales and business leaders will push back on targets and budgets, and you will resolve it with them rather than escalation. You will build and maintain the models in Excel and with AI tooling. This is not a statutory reporting, treasury operations or finance systems role.

What You'll Do

Targets and planning

- Own target setting for business development managers and the company, from inputs and modelling to agreement with Sales and the executive team
- Run budgets and rolling forecasts, and keep the integrated planning model accurate and auditable
- Lead headcount planning with each department, and run the approval process day to day
- Explain the plan and the numbers behind it simply to non-finance stakeholders

Business performance

- Track performance and efficiency metrics across every department, and report them to the executive team in plain language
- Flag early where performance and plan diverge, and say what should change as a result
- Prepare the performance view for the quarterly business review,



and hold departments to their commitments

Business cases and partnering

- Support business stakeholders as they build and refresh business cases, and challenge the assumptions before they reach the executive team
- Be the first point of contact in Finance for targets, budgets and performance below executive level
- Hold a line with Sales and other leaders on targets and budgets, and resolve disagreements rather than escalation
- Run the capital allocation process each quarter, ranking competing proposals on return, risk, payback and strategic fit so the executive team can decide where capital goes
- Track funded initiatives against their business cases after approval, and feed what is learned into future decisions

Reporting and team

- Define reporting requirements with the data team, and validate reports before anyone relies on them
- Review the analysts’ work so it reaches senior stakeholders finished
- Mentor two strategic finance analysts from day one, with a path to leading them as the role is established
- Help the wider Finance team adopt AI tooling in its recurring work, working with the head of finance
