We are delighted to be working in partnership with a Group of software entrepreneurs, as they embark on a period of considerable growth, driven by further acquisitions to their portfolio.

The Role:

As FP&A Manager, you will play a key role in shaping the financial health and strategic direction of the business. Reporting to the CFO, you will lead financial planning, management accounts, budgeting, and forecasting processes, providing insights to support strategic decision-making and enhance financial performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Prepare and deliver monthly management accounts for the parent company
• Oversee the preparation and consolidation of Group-wide monthly management accounts
• Ensure the timely delivery of management accounts for all subsidiaries by working closely with local finance teams and advisers
• Develop and maintain forecasting models for the parent company, subsidiaries, and the consolidated Group
• Collaborate with individual business units to analyze commercial performance and provide actionable insights
• Partner with the CFO and Head of Deal Origination to assess potential acquisitions (3-4 per year)
• Support post-acquisition integration by liaising with subsidiary teams and aligning financial processes
• Engage in forecasting and management accounting for an additional business owned by the founder, contributing to budgeting and monthly updates
• Work with professional advisers on acquisition accounting, tax strategies, and statutory compliance across various jurisdictions
• Build out an FP&A function as the Group expands

Qualifications and Skills:

• Fully Qualified Accountant (e.g., ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) - desirable
• Significant experience in FP&A, management accounting, and financial reporting
• Strong technical background, particularly within technology-focused businesses, is highly desirable
• Proven ability to build and manage complex financial models for forecasting and analysis
• Excellent interpersonal skills to collaborate with diverse teams and influence senior stakeholders
• Experience working on acquisitions, including due diligence and integration - desirable
• Ability to manage multiple priorities effectively and deliver in a fast-paced environment

This is quite a unique opening and with the business only being set up in 2023, you’ll be joining at a very exciting time for all involved, and with this you will have the opportunity to grow and build the FP&A function as you see fit, as the Founders look to expand the Group in line with their 10-year plan. We are looking for a highly ambitious and driven individual, who’ll fit well with the current regime.

The role will be fully remote but will involve some travel both within the UK and across to Europe, in order to support local Finance teams as further acquisitions are brought into the Group.

We would ask that interested parties submit your application at the earliest opportunity.
