KE15185

A high-performing, Private Equity-backed professional services consultancy with £45m turnover and £14m EBITDA is entering its next investment cycle and is seeking an ambitious FP&A Manager to support its growth journey.

With a clear three-year strategy to scale organically and through M&A, the business is focused on value creation, professionalisation and driving toward a future exit transaction. This is a rare opportunity to join a commercially driven finance function at a pivotal point in the investment lifecycle.

Reporting into an established Financial Controller, with a dotted line to the CFO, the FP&A Manager will play a central role in shaping financial insight, decision-making and performance management across the group.

The FP&A Manager will lead core FP&A activity, including:

• Ownership of budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning processes
• Delivery of high-quality commercial analysis to support strategic and operational decision-making
• Development and enhancement of management information, reporting and financial models
• Data improvement initiatives to support scale, integration and professionalisation
• Business partnering with the Senior Leadership Team, business unit leads and wider finance stakeholders
• Supporting M&A activity, including financial analysis, integration planning and performance tracking
• This role will be instrumental in empowering growth, driving accountability and embedding best-in-class FP&A practices across the organisation.

This opportunity would suit a high-calibre finance professional who is ambitious, commercially minded and motivated by working in a fast-paced, PE-backed environment.

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

• A professional finance qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
• Proven experience in FP&A, commercial finance or financial planning roles
• Exposure to high-growth, Private Equity-backed or similarly dynamic environments
• Strong business partnering capability with non-finance stakeholders
• Excellent analytical skills, with the ability to translate data into clear commercial insight
• Confidence operating in a changing, transaction-focused setting

This role offers genuine long-term progression. The business is committed to developing talent and this position is well-suited to someone aspiring to grow into a Senior FP&A Manager or Head of FP&A, learning directly from experienced finance leaders including the Financial Controller and CFO.

For an ambitious FP&A professional seeking visibility, influence and a seat at the table during a critical value-creation phase, this represents an outstanding next step.
