Financial Modeller

Cedar is currently partnered with a PE-backed professional services firm to secure an experienced Financial Modeller based in the City of London. The role is an initial 3-6 month contract, paying £650-£750 per day, outside IR35, with three days per week in the office.

An ambitious, private equity-backed professional services group experiencing significant growth through an active buy-and-build strategy.

With an expanding portfolio of acquired businesses, the Group is strengthening its financial modelling and forecasting capabilities to support strategic planning, liquidity management and future investment decisions.

As Financial Modeller, you will take ownership of developing sophisticated, integrated financial models that provide greater visibility of Group performance, cash generation and funding requirements.

• Build complex, fully integrated three-statement financial models, linking P&L, balance sheet and cash flow.
• Develop rolling 13-week cash flow forecasts across multiple Group entities.
• Construct detailed revenue, cost, working capital and cash conversion models.
• Build acquisition models covering transaction funding, integration costs, synergies and post-acquisition performance.
• Model debt structures, leverage, interest, repayments and covenant sensitivities.
• Develop dynamic scenario analysis covering organic growth, acquisition timing and liquidity requirements.
• Establish robust, flexible modelling frameworks to support ongoing strategic and investor reporting.

This is a technically demanding assignment within a City of London Group Finance function. Paying £650-£750 per day, it offers genuine ownership of the modelling architecture supporting an acquisitive business.

You will ideally have:

• ACA, ACCA, CIMA or a strong corporate finance / financial modelling background.
• Advanced Excel expertise and demonstrable experience building complex three-statement models from scratch.
• Strong cash flow forecasting, acquisition modelling and scenario analysis capabilities.
• Experience with in PE-backed, leveraged or acquisitive businesses.
• Background in transaction services, corporate finance, FP&A or financial modelling.

The Financial Modeller contract offers £650-£750 per day, outside IR35, for an initial 3-6 months.

Based in the City of London, this is an opportunity to deliver sophisticated financial models directly supporting acquisition activity, liquidity management and investment decisions.
