Salary: £75k - £90k
Job Number: 32959
Stanton House is partnering with a high-growth, PE-backed buy-and-build business on the appointment of a Head of FP&A at a genuinely exciting point in its growth journey. The business has completed a number of acquisitions in recent months and is continuing to scale, creating an increasingly complex and dynamic environment.
This is not a role where you'll simply inherit an established FP&A function, you'll have the opportunity to build it.
As the group continues to grow both organically and through acquisition, you'll play a key role in developing the financial insight, modelling and performance infrastructure needed to support the next phase of the business.

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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Why this role?
- High-growth & acquisitive environment – play a key role in supporting M&A and integration.
- PE exposure – significant interaction with the senior leadership team and investors.
- Build & shape – professionalise FP&A, improve reporting and develop the processes and systems needed to support a growing group.
- Commercial influence – go beyond reporting numbers and provide insight and challenge that directly informs decision-making.
- Strategic exposure – support acquisitions, investment decisions, scenario planning and value-creation initiatives.
- Visible impact – help shape how the business understands performance and makes decisions as it scales.
What we're looking for
- A qualified accountant with 5+ years' experience across FP&A, commercial finance or a related discipline, with strong financial modelling, forecasting and business partnering experience.
- Experience within a PE-backed, high-growth or acquisitive environment would be highly advantageous, alongside exposure to M&A, integration and Board/investor reporting.
- Experience with a professional services environment
- Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is commercial, analytical and hands-on — someone who enjoys working in a changing environment and wants to build something rather than maintain the status quo.
