Who are we looking for
You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with a strong FP&A background gained within a PLC, large corporate or complex matrix organisation.
You’ll need to be commercially minded, comfortable operating with senior stakeholders and able to move beyond simply reporting the numbers to explain what they mean, why they matter and what the business should be thinking about next.
Strong financial modelling and Excel skills are essential, with SAP and Power BI experience particularly useful.
Above all, we’re looking for someone who can quickly get to grips with a complex organisation, build credibility and make an impact from the outset.
