About the role
We're looking for an FP&A Analyst to join our Finance function — a growing and increasingly strategic part of the combined business — supporting the Head of FP&A. This is a hands-on, analysis-focused role: you will build and maintain financial models, prepare month-end reporting and variance analysis, and turn data into clear, accurate insight that helps the business hit its growth and profitability targets. You will also support the preparation of financial packs and documentation for our Board and investors.
It is a great opportunity for a qualified accountant looking to develop their FP&A career in a growing business. This role is based in our London office (hybrid working) and reports to the Head of FP&A.
