Are you an FP&A professional who enjoys being close to the numbers but also confident stepping into the business, partnering with stakeholders and presenting insights clearly?
A fast-moving international business in the automotive sector is looking for a Senior FP&A Analyst to join its London-based group finance team.
This is a broad role sitting at the heart of FP&A, with exposure across month-end, forecasting, business partnering and group reporting. The team is lean, so this is not a role for someone who only wants to sit behind a spreadsheet - they need someone who can analyse the numbers, explain them well, and operate independently in a constantly evolving environment.
The role has been created following an internal promotion, with the current Senior FP&A Analyst stepping up into the FP&A Manager position. It’s a good opportunity for someone who wants strong day-to-day exposure, visibility to senior finance leadership, and the chance to develop in a business where finance is closely tied to decision-making.
What will you be doing?
- Supporting delivery of performance packs and reporting for the CFO and Finance Director
- Driving month-end and management reporting activity, including variance analysis against budget and forecast
- Supporting the quarterly rolling forecast and annual budgeting process across a multi-entity international structure
- Business partnering commercial and PR teams, taking ownership of forecasting, OPEX analysis and budget oversight
- Liaising closely with plant/manufacturing controlling and regional finance teams
- Supporting intercompany reconciliations, consolidations and wider group accounting activity
- Producing reporting, KPIs and financial analysis to support decision-making and improve visibility across the business
- Investigating financial and operational performance and presenting findings in a clear, actionable way
What would we love to see from you?
- 3-5 years’ experience across FP&A, reporting, budgeting and forecasting
- Experience in a group or multi-entity environment, ideally with exposure to intercompany reconciliations or consolidations
- Strong Excel and financial modelling skills
- Good grounding in accounting fundamentals, including P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and working capital
- Manufacturing/FMCG/Retail background
- Confident communicator with the ability to partner stakeholders across finance and non-finance teams
- Hands-on, adaptable and comfortable working in a lean team where not everything is fully automated
- ACCA/CIMA qualified or studying towards full qualification
