Job description

Financial Planning and Analysis Manager | PE backed TMT | Salary £75,000 - £90,000 + bonus and benefits | London | Hybrid working

I am partnering with a fast-growing, private equity-backed business in the TMT sector on a serious upward curve acquiring, integrating, and scaling at pace. The plan is ambitious and the next chapter needs a genuine FP&A leader to bring it all together.

Reporting directly into the CFO, you'll own the story behind the numbers, the forecasting, the budgeting, the strategic modelling, and the commercial insight that helps the leadership team make sharper, faster decisions. This is a rare chance to build and influence at a business where finance has a seat at the table and where what you do genuinely moves the dial.

What you'll be doing

• Owning the end-to-end budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning cycles, and making them slicker every time round
• Turning data into decisions, partnering with stakeholders across the business to challenge, guide and drive commercial performance
• Building the models and analysis that underpin M&A activity, integrations and strategic investment cases
• Being the CFO's right hand on board packs, investor reporting and the numbers that matter to our PE backers
• Leading, developing and getting the best out of one direct report
• Bringing rigour, curiosity and a commercial lens to everything, spotting the opportunities and the risks before anyone else does

What you'll bring

• A strong FP&A background (fully qualified — ACA / ACCA / CIMA), ideally with exposure to fast-paced, PE-backed or high-growth environments
• Strong experience forecasting, budgeting and modelling, paired with the confidence to business partner senior, non-finance stakeholders
• The commercial instinct to see round corners and the communication skills to make the numbers land
• A builder's mindset, you like ambiguity, pace and the chance to shape how things are done
• Experience of M&A, integration or scaling a finance function is a real plus

What's in it for you

• A high-visibility role with direct access to the CFO and leadership team
• The pace, backing and upside that only a PE-backed growth story can offer
• Genuine scope to build, influence and progress as the business scales

This is a super exciting role for the right person and one where you will be able to make key decisions in driving the company forward.
