Job description

Aria Partners is working with a private markets fund that is looking to hire an FP&A Analyst in a newly created role.

A key part of the role will be helping develop the firm’s FP&A capability. There’s scope to build dashboards, improve financial models and connect planning tools with the underlying accounting data, giving teams across the business a clearer and more up-to-date view of performance.

It would suit someone with corporate finance experience in an investment management firm who enjoys understanding the numbers and finding better ways to use and present them.

The role

• Take responsibility for budgets and forecasts, working with teams across the business to understand their spending and future requirements.
• Analyse operating costs and monthly performance, explaining differences against budget and highlighting where action may be needed.
• Develop financial models to assess different scenarios and support business planning.
• Help build dashboards and reporting tools that make financial information easier to access and use.
• Manage cash forecasting and liquidity across the group, making effective use of surplus cash and planning for future payments, funding needs and foreign currency requirements.
• Work with the accounts payable team on payment planning and approvals, while supporting borrowing arrangements and related financial reporting.
• Contribute to the selection and development of planning tools, improving how budgeting, forecasting and accounting data work together.

What we’re looking for

• A qualified accountant, ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent, with around one to three years’ post qualified experience in industry.
• Experience within the corporate finance function of a private markets or wider investment management business would be highly advantageous. Wider financial services would also be taken into consideration.
• Practical experience of budgeting, forecasting and cost analysis.
• Strong Excel and modelling skills. Experience with dashboards, reporting tools or planning systems would be useful.

Compensation is likely to be around the £70,000-80,000 mark with generous bonus potential and wider benefits.
