Interim FP&A Consultant

I'm working with a leading global specialty insurer on an interim FP&A appointment with a strong cost focus. The finance function is backing profitable growth and sharpening how it plans, tracks and allocates cost.

• Owning cost-focused FP&A: building clear, reliable views of the expense base and giving the business insight it can act on
• Reviewing allocation methodologies, cost drivers, governance and controls, simplifying them and making them more transparent
• Partnering with finance and business leaders to challenge cost, improve visibility and support better decisions
• Building reporting, reconciliations, allocation models and planning tools, then embedding them
• Finding where automation and AI can improve efficiency, control and the quality of cost insight
• Separating repeatable from judgement-based work, with SOPs, SLAs and training to hand activity to offshore teams

• Qualified accountant (or equivalent recognised qualification)
• Strong FP&A experience with a cost and business partnering focus
• Hands-on allocations experience (methodologies, cost drivers, governance and controls) in a commercial, well-established environment
• Experience designing finance processes and operating models
• Offshore or shared service model exposure
• Strong analytical and reconciliation skills, and stakeholder management
• Curiosity and a practical understanding of AI and automation in finance (building agents or AI tools is a plus)

• 12-month interim contract
• Location:
