Job description

FP&A Manager

Maidenhead | £60,000 - £65,000 + Bonus

Want to play a key role in the financial growth of an ambitious lending business?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a commercially minded FP&A Manager to join a growing financial services business in Windsor.

This is a hands‑on role where you'll take ownership of financial forecasting, management reporting and lending performance analysis, working closely with senior finance and portfolio stakeholders to support commercial decision‑making and future growth.

We're looking for someone who enjoys working with numbers but can also see the bigger picture, challenge existing processes and bring fresh ideas to the table.

The role

• Own and develop financial forecasts, budgets and financial models.
• Produce monthly management reports, including performance analysis and variance commentary.
• Analyse lending and loan book performance, including repayments, arrears, defaults and recoveries.
• Prepare funding forecasts, cash flow projections and scenario analysis.
• Carry out client and portfolio analysis, identifying trends and commercial opportunities.
• Work closely with the finance and portfolio teams to understand business performance and profitability.
• Prepare financial documentation, reports and presentations for senior management.
• Support financial controls, reconciliations and annual audit requirements.
• Identify opportunities to improve reporting and automate processes using AI and technology.

What we're looking for

• Experience in an FP&A, financial modelling or commercial finance role.
• Ideally, experience within a lender, challenger bank, asset finance or financial services business.
• Previous experience analysing or managing a loan book would be a significant advantage.
• Strong financial modelling, forecasting and advanced Excel skills.
• Experience with management reporting, budgeting and cash flow forecasting.
• A strong commercial outlook and the ability to turn complex data into meaningful insight.
• Someone proactive, organised and comfortable taking ownership with minimal supervision.
• An interest in AI and emerging technology. Experience using Claude would be a real advantage.

ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualifications would be beneficial, although relevant experience and commercial ability are equally important.

What's on offer?

• Salary: £60,000-£65,000, depending on experience.
• Bonus: Two performance-related bonus payments per year.
• Location: maidenhead - predominantly office-based, five days per week.
• 25 days' annual leave, increasing with service.
• Pension contribution.
• Gym membership.
• Enhanced family benefits and childcare salary sacrifice scheme.
• Parking expenses covered.
