Job description

Love spreadsheets and strategy? Want a seat at the table where the big business decisions happen? This could be your next move.

Refreshing are partnering with a leading events & media business to find a commercially-minded Senior FP&A Analyst to join their London finance team. This isn’t a “sit quietly in the corner updating reports” type of role — you’ll be right in the middle of the action, partnering with department heads, influencing decision-making, and working closely with the C-suite.

You’ll be the go-to person for turning numbers into stories, insights into action, and forecasts into strategy.

What you’ll be getting stuck into:

• Owning key parts of the budgeting & forecasting process
• Building slick financial models and presenting insights across the full P&L
• Preparing monthly board packs with commentary that actually means something
• Partnering with teams across the business to analyse performance, profitability & opportunities
• Investigating monthly variances and spotting trends before anyone else does
• Working alongside finance, ops & sales teams internationally to improve margins
• Supporting the CFO and leadership team on high-impact projects
• Driving efficiency improvements and identifying cost-saving opportunities
• Collaborating with BI & Commercial Ops to build PowerBI dashboards that help shape growth strategy

What we’re looking for:

• Strong modelling skills (you genuinely enjoy Excel)
• Commercial mindset with the confidence to challenge and influence
• Someone proactive, curious and keen to make an impact
• Private equity experience would be a bonus.

If you enjoy working closely with senior stakeholders, influencing strategy, and helping a fast-paced business make smarter decisions — this role gives you real visibility and impact from day one.
