Your numbers. Our growth story.
Focus Group is a fast-growing, private equity-backed technology business, and right now our Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) team sits right at the heart of our next chapter. We're looking for a graduate who wants their analysis to actually shape decisions, not just sit in a spreadsheet.
You'll report to our FP&A Manager and get stuck into real business problems from day one. This is a graduate role built around real responsibility from the start — you'll be working with real data, real models, and real decisions.
What you'll be doing:
- Helping build the annual business plan, regular forecasts, and management reporting
- Delivering insight and analysis that helps the business hit its strategic goals
- Supporting commission management and analysis of commission systems
- Developing KPIs and metrics that track performance against strategy
- Driving scenario modelling and planning, including capex forecasting
- Extracting and combining data from multiple systems to build a clear picture
- Supporting wider projects across the finance function

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.

- The ability to explain complex analysis clearly, whether in writing, in a chart, or face to face
