Citadel Source is delighted to be partnering with a fast-growth organisation to recruit their new Head of FP&A in Bath.
A bit about our client...
Our client is an SME with a clear focus on continued sustainable growth and long-term performance. As the organisation continues to evolve, the finance team is placing greater emphasis on commercial insight, planning and helping the wider business make better decisions. You will play an important role in helping the business understand key performance indicators, improvement opportunities and horizon scanning.
The role
This is a broad FP&A role with strong visibility across the business. You’ll own the core planning and forecasting cycle, while providing the analysis and insight senior stakeholders need to make informed decisions. Working closely with a vast stakeholder network, you’ll bring together financial, operational and market data to understand overall performance. You’ll also use in-depth analysis and modelling to highlight risks and opportunities, support resource decisions and further develop the business's future plans with greater confidence and accuracy.
About you
We’re looking for a qualified finance professional with a strong background in FP&A or commercial finance. You’ll be confident working with senior stakeholders, challenging assumptions and using your judgement to provide a different perspective. You’ll be curious, comfortable with ambiguity and motivated to look beyond the numbers to understand what’s really driving the business. Most importantly, you’ll make a meaningful contribution to how FP&A supports both finance and the wider organisation.
