FP&A Analyst

Northampton | Hybrid | Up to £70,000 + benefits

I’m working with a growing, multi-site business in Northampton who are looking to appoint an FP&A Analyst into their Commercial Finance team.

This is a broad role offering exposure across FP&A, commercial analysis, strategic modelling and M&A. It would suit someone looking to develop their career within a commercially focused finance environment and take on greater exposure to senior stakeholders and strategic decision-making.

The Role:

You’ll work closely with senior Finance leadership, Finance Business Partners and the wider business, providing analysis and insight to support financial planning and business performance.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Leading and coordinating budgets, forecasts and long-term financial plans
  • Analysing performance against budget, forecast and prior year
  • Preparing monthly Board reporting and providing clear commercial commentary
  • Building financial models, scenarios and sensitivity analysis
  • Supporting strategic planning and modelling across the business
  • Working closely with the M&A team on acquisitions and financial due diligence
  • Supporting post-acquisition analysis and incorporating acquisitions into forecasts
  • Developing and improving management reporting and financial models
  • Using Excel and data visualisation tools to turn financial information into meaningful commercial insight
  • Identifying risks, opportunities and key drivers within the financial outlook

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
