VNI Finance is delighted to work in exclusive partnership with our Private Equity-backed client in Glasgow to recruit a newly created FP&A Business Partner.

Our client is a £60m turnover business that recently changed PE ownership, with the new PE backer focused on investing in a dedicated FP&A function to drive business growth.

Our client has a strong track record of acquisitions, with additional strategic acquisitions in the pipeline.

Role Overview:

  • The FP&A Business Partner will be heavily involved in building out the function, with strong exposure at the Exec level, and will work closely with a supportive, high-performing Head of FP&A who has recently moved internally to establish the function. The role will work closely with the wider Ops team, bringing an operational element to the role.
  • Lead and coordinate budgeting and forecasting activity across designated areas of the group.
  • Produce accurate forecasts, clearly explaining movements against budget, prior forecast and previous periods.
  • Build effective relationships with operational leaders, practice teams and senior management.
  • Provide commercial analysis and constructive challenge to improve revenue, profitability and operational performance.
  • Develop reporting that gives clear insight into key business drivers, trends, risks and opportunities.
  • Support the Head of FP&A with group budgets, forecasts and longer-term financial plans.
  • Prepare financial information and analysis for senior leadership and investor reporting.
  • Develop financial models and scenario analysis to support strategic and operational decisions.
  • Use Power BI to develop dashboards, management information and performance reporting.
  • Identify opportunities to improve forecasting accuracy, financial controls and planning processes.
  • Work with the wider finance team to align management reporting, forecasting and financial results.
  • Support ad hoc commercial projects and business improvement initiatives.

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.
