Job description

Marc Daniels Specialist Recruitment is partnering with a market leading organisation to recruit a FP&A Manager to join their dynamic and growing team.

This is a rare opportunity for a fully qualified finance professional who wants to own the budgeting and forecasting cycle end-to-end. You’ll be the go-to person for building financial models, driving the annual budget, producing monthly reforecasts, and delivering insightful variance analysis that helps the leadership team make better commercial decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the annual budgeting process – own the timetable, templates, consolidation, and challenge sessions with budget holders across the business.
• Drive monthly and quarterly reforecasting cycles – build and maintain the assumptions, update the models, and produce clear variance commentary.
• Build and maintain robust financial models – including scenario analysis, sensitivity testing, and investment appraisals to support strategic decisions.
• Produce high-quality management reporting – monthly board packs, KPI dashboards, and performance commentary that highlights trends, risks, and opportunities.
• Partner with operational stakeholders – work closely with sales, operations, and senior leadership to understand business drivers and translate them into financial insight.
• Support cash flow forecasting and working capital analysis – ensure liquidity planning is accurate and timely.
• Identify opportunities to enhance processes and reporting – improve the quality, speed, and automation of FP&A outputs.

You will have:

• We’re looking for a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA)

• Experience in FP&A or commercial finance

• Proven ownership of end-to-end budgeting and forecasting cycles (not just contribution).
• Advanced Excel skills with strong financial modelling capability – you build the models yourself.
• Strong Power BI experience
• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to turn complex data into clear, actionable insight.
• Strong stakeholder management – comfortable challenging and influencing senior leaders.
• A hands-on, proactive approach – this is a doing role, not a people-management position.
