Job description

RSK Group are seeking a FP&A Assistant Manager / Manager to join the team in central London.

This role owns the Group's board and external-facing reporting, its core financial models, and the information that supports our debt facilities and credit insurance. You will take board, investor and lender reporting from build through to review, so it reaches the Director of FP&A and Commercial Finance ready for final sign-off. You will also own the long term forecast and central cash model and help set top down budget targets.

Key Responsibilities:

Board, investor and lender reporting

• Prepare the financial section of the monthly board pack, including performance commentary, KPIs and forecast updates.
• Own the monthly investor reporting pack end to end, from build and commentary through to detailed review, ready for final sign-off by the Director of FP&A and Commercial Finance.
• Lead the monthly board and investor reporting timetable, agreeing inputs and deadlines with Management Accounts and divisional finance teams.
• Handle ad hoc queries and information requests from investors and lenders, preparing supporting analysis and drafting responses for review, often to short deadlines.
• Ensure all board and external reporting reconciles to the management accounts and the agreed monthly dataset.

Forecasting and cash modelling

• Own the three statement, multi-year forecast model (P&L, balance sheet and cash flow).
• Propose top down Group and divisional budget targets from the long-term plan and reconcile them with the bottom up budget.
• Own the central cash flow model, outputing debt, covenant headroom and liquidity forecasting, working with the Group Treasury team to report this to lenders.
• Support the Treasury and central accounts teams to build and maintain the daily and 13 week cash forecasting models, ensuring they reconcile to the central cash model and long-term forecast, and review forecast accuracy against actual cash each month.
• Model scenarios and sensitivities covering growth, margin, cash and covenant compliance.
• Support strategic decisions with business cases, investment appraisals and acquisition modelling as needed.

Debt, financing and credit insurance

• Support periodic reporting to our lending banks with the Group Treasury team
• Keep a calendar of the reporting deadlines and information obligations under our debt facilities.
• Prepare the periodic information pack for our credit insurers and their brokers, and respond to their queries.
• Work alongside Group Treasury to keep the cash model aligned with day to day treasury management.
• Prepare materials for annual bank reviews and lender meetings.

Year-end forecasting support

• Use your knowledge of the cash flow to support the Financial Reporting team on the going concern assessment in the annual accounts
• Prepare the forecasts used to test the carrying value of goodwill and acquired businesses.
• Estimate the value of deferred and contingent consideration from the long-term forecast.
• Provide this forecast information to the Group Financial Controller to agreed year end deadlines, and explain the key assumptions.

Presentations

• Build clear presentations for the board, investors and lenders.
• Work with divisional Finance Directors on divisional content for board and investor meetings.

Commercial projects

• Support adhoc commercial projects inline with business priorities.

AI-enabled modelling and review

• Use approved AI tools (such as Microsoft Copilot in Excel or Claude) to speed up model building, formula work and scenario analysis.
• Use AI to review models before they are relied on, checking formula consistency, hard-coded values, broken links and that the balance sheet balances and cash reconciles.
• Apply rigorous human review to all AI-assisted work, and use AI only in line with company data and information security policies.

Model governance and resilience

• Set and maintain modelling and review standards for the Group's key external models, with documented checks and version control.

Person Specification:

Essential

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), with 2+ years' post-qualification experience.
• Experience preparing reporting for investors and lenders.
• Expert Excel skills, including building and reviewing complex, integrated three statement and cash models.
• Experience within a multi entity or multi divisional group.
• Strong PowerPoint skills and confidence presenting to senior and external audiences.

Desirable

• Experience working with private equity backed or leveraged business.
• Big Four Transaction Services or corporate finance background.
• Practical experience using AI tools to build, test or review financial models, with a clear understanding of their limitations.
• Experience with planning, consolidation or BI tools (for example Power BI, Adaptive, Anaplan or similar).

Salary and Benefits:

• Competitive salary
• Life assurance
• Flexible benefits programme
