Fractional Head of FP&A
Remote-first | Two days per week (three for the first three months) | Part-time employed or contract
Cyber Chain Alliance was founded from a desire to do consultancy differently.
We believe organisations deserve practical advice that fits their reality, and good people deserve autonomy, trust and the chance to influence the business they’re part of.
As we grow, we’re looking for a Fractional Head of FP&A to build the financial planning capability that supports our next stage.
The role in real terms
You’ll work directly with our Director of Operations, giving the directors a clear view of performance and helping them make informed commercial decisions.
Operational finance is already established, with bookkeeping, payroll and statutory accounts covered. Your focus will be forward-looking planning, profitability and decision support.
This is a hands-on role. You’ll:
- Own budgeting, rolling forecasts and short-term cash flow planning, with scenario analysis to support decisions on pricing, headcount and costs.
- Build models for engagement and service line profitability, covering day rates, utilisation, realisation, delivery costs and overhead recovery.
- Support pricing, bids, Statements of Work and renewals.
- Develop Fathom as our reporting and analysis platform and produce clear monthly reporting for the directors.
- Contribute to management accounts alongside our operational team and external accountants, with occasional support for business cases, funding and employee equity work.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What makes this different
You’ll have the opportunity to shape how financial planning works in a growing business, with direct access to decision-makers and the autonomy to make things happen.
We need someone who enjoys building the models, understanding the detail and explaining what it means. Someone who can challenge assumptions constructively and apply the right level of rigour for our size and stage.
We’ll agree priorities together, keeping the scope realistic within a fractional commitment.
Who we’re looking for
You’ll bring senior FP&A, commercial finance or Finance Director experience within an SME or professional services business, whether professionally qualified or qualified by experience.
Hands-on Fathom experience is essential, including building and configuring within it. You’ll also have strong financial modelling skills and experience analysing profitability in a business that sells people’s time.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll be comfortable establishing capability from the ground up, explaining financial issues in plain language and managing your own delivery with discretion and accountability.
Experience in cyber security, IT services or technology consultancy would be useful, alongside previous fractional work or exposure to funding, due diligence or exit processes.
Built for real life
The role is remote-first, with flexibility over how your days are distributed and occasional travel for planning sessions and team events.
You’ll start at three days per week for the first three months to establish the core models and reporting, moving to two days per week thereafter. We’re open to either part-time employment or a contract through your own limited company.
We’re building a sustainable cyber security business that does good work and gives people room to make an impact.
If that sounds like something you’d like to help shape, we’d love to hear from you.
Please note: This is a UK-based, remote-first role, with occasional in-person attendance required for planning sessions and team events. Candidates must reside in the UK and have the right to work in the UK.
