Build & Shape the FP&A Function
London
4 days in the office a week initially, moving to 3.
Are you an experienced FP&A professional looking for the opportunity to build something rather than simply maintain what already exists?
We are working with a rapidly growing, multi-site business that is looking to appoint an FP&A Manager to build and shape its Financial Planning & Analysis capability.
This is a genuine greenfield opportunity. You will take ownership of the budgeting and forecasting process, develop new driver-based financial models and help improve the way financial and operational performance is understood across the business.
The role
- Build and own the annual budgeting process
- Develop and improve driver-based financial models
- Lead monthly and quarterly forecasting, including 6+6 and 9+3 forecasts
- Develop volume and price-based forecasting models
- Deliver commercial and financial analysis to support business performance
- Partner with operational stakeholders to gather assumptions and understand key performance drivers
- Work closely with the Senior Analytics Engineer to improve financial and operational reporting
- Present budgets, forecasts and insights to senior leadership
- Support the development of balance sheet and cashflow forecasting
- Help determine whether the business should continue developing its models in Excel or implement a dedicated budgeting system
- Support a growing and acquisitive organisation, including the integration of new acquisitions
- Drive improvements across FP&A, reporting and business intelligence

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
