Job description

FP&A Manager | £65,000 - £75,000 + 20-25% Bonus

"Help build FP&A From Scratch"

Some roles ask you to follow the playbook.

This one asks you to write it .

Imagine stepping into a business that has never had an FP&A function before.

No legacy reporting.

No outdated models to fix.

No red tape.

Just a blank canvas - and the autonomy, trust, and influence to build something that will shape the entire future of a fast-moving, entrepreneurial organisation.

This is that role.

A high-growth SME (backed by serious investment and showing no signs of slowing down) is creating a brand-new FP&A capability - and they’re looking for someone who wants to own it, shape it, and grow it into something remarkable.

Why This Role Matters – and Why It Stands Out

This isn’t simply an FP&A Manager job.

It’s your opportunity to become the person who brings structure, insight, and strategy to a business that is scaling at pace.

Here’s what makes it special :

🌍 Build FP&A From the Ground Up

There’s no handbook. No predecessor.

You’ll design the models, processes, reporting, forecasting, dashboards – everything.

If you’ve ever wanted to build something your way, this is your moment.

🚀 Be the Strategic Engine Behind Real Growth

This organisation is diverse, entrepreneurial, and expanding rapidly.

Your insight will directly influence operations, regional strategy, commercial decisions, and group performance.

🤝 Access and Influence at the Top Table

You will regularly partner with senior leaders and present to :

• CFO
• COO
• CEO
• Private equity stakeholders

Your work won’t sit in a folder. It will drive decisions.

🎯 Make the Role Bigger – Quickly

This isn’t a “maintain the status quo” type of job.

The more impact you make, the bigger your remit becomes – fast .

This is a genuine springboard role for future Head of FP&A or Commercial Finance leadership.

💰 Get Properly Rewarded

A 20-25% bonus potential – well above market.

Because when the business wins, you should too.

🎒 Perfect for someone who wants to bigger fish in a smaller pond

If you love ambiguity, change, problem-solving and building order in chaos…

You will thrive here.

What You’ll Own

• The entire budgeting & forecasting process across homes, regions, and central support
• FP&A systems, dashboards, tools, and data visualisation
• Deep analysis to improve performance, accuracy, and decision‑making
• Modelling, scenario planning and strategic commercial insight
• Business partnering across multiple teams
• Initiatives that improve reporting, automation, and financial processes

What You’ll Bring

• Strong financial analysis or FP&A background
• CIMA, ACCA, ACA or equivalent preferred
