Group FP&A Manager

I’m working with a fast-growing, acquisitive PE-backed business to appoint a Group FP&A Manager, reporting directly to the CFO.

This is a senior, high-profile role with ownership of Group planning, forecasting, Board reporting and performance insight, alongside helping shape and develop the FP&A capability as the business continues to grow.

The role

You’ll take ownership of:

• Group budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning
• Board and Executive reporting, including MI, KPIs and performance commentary
• Covenant reporting, leverage, forecasting and scenario modelling
• Providing commercial insight and challenge to senior leadership
• Financial modelling to support acquisitions, synergies and integration
• Developing Group FP&A, reporting and BI capability
• Leading and developing people, while bringing together stakeholders across the wider business

What we’re looking for

There are some clear non-negotiables for this search:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
• Private equity-backed experience, including exposure to covenants, leverage and investor requirements
• Board-level reporting experience
• Strong budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling capability
• Experience with financial consolidation and reporting systems
• Proven experience leading and developing people
• Confidence to challenge, influence and work closely with senior leadership

Experience with in an acquisitive, multi-site or operational business would be particularly relevant.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who wants genuine exposure to the CFO and Board and the opportunity to make their mark within a growing and changing business.
