Location:

London hybrid working

Systems Accountants is partnered with a leading Finance Transformation consulting organisation who seek an experienced Senior Manager with deep expertise in FP&A process design, operating model optimisation and performance management. This is a high‑impact role working with global blue‑chip organisations across multiple industry sectors and complex multinational environments.

As a Senior Manager, you will act as a subject‑matter expert in FP&A, shaping end‑to‑end planning, forecasting and performance management solutions. You'll lead client engagements, drive commercial outcomes, and contribute to practice growth while ensuring delivery excellence.

Lead FP&A transformation work streams, covering process design, target operating models, planning frameworks and performance reporting. Act as the functional SME across planning, budgeting and forecasting, advising clients on best‑in‑class practices and future‑state design. Work confidently within fragmented organisational structures, helping clients understand how to connect, align and "glue together" disparate FP&A processes across regions, business units and functions. Leverage your understanding of EPM technologies to advise on how systems can support and enable improved planning, reporting and performance management.

Support commercial activities including proposal development, client presentations and shaping new opportunities. Oversee delivery of complex programmes, bringing complementary skills in project and programme management. Work with global blue‑chip clients (typically £20bn+ revenue) across industrial, manufacturing and diversified groups. Build trusted relationships with senior Finance leaders, influencing decision‑making and driving measurable outcomes. Mentor and guide junior consultants, contributing to capability development within the practice.

Travel as required to support client engagements.

Strong FP&A functional expertise, ideally gained in a Big 4 consulting environment, though industry backgrounds with transformation exposure will also be considered. Proven experience designing and delivering FP&A processes, planning frameworks and performance management solutions. Ability to navigate and rationalise fragmented structures, aligning processes, data and governance across complex organisations. Familiarity with EPM platforms (e.g., Oracle, Anaplan, SAP, One Stream) and how they support planning and reporting transformation.

A track record of working on large‑scale Finance Transformation programmes. Strong commercial acumen with experience supporting business development or client‑facing commercial activities. Complementary experience in project or programme management, with the ability to structure and drive complex initiatives. Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to engage senior Finance and business leaders. Experience working with large, global organisations—ideally industrial or manufacturing groups.

Willingness to travel to client sites as needed.
