Are you an experienced FP&A professional who can quickly get under the skin of a business and take ownership of a demanding budgeting process? I'm working with a large, complex organisation looking for an experienced Senior FP&A Consultant to provide additional support through a critical planning and budgeting period. This is a genuinely hands-on role. You'll work closely with the wider FP&A team and senior budget holders, helping to drive the year-end budget process, challenge assumptions and ensure submissions are accurate, commercially robust and delivered to tight deadlines.
What you'll be doing:
- Supporting the delivery of the annual budgeting and financial planning process across multiple business areas.
- Working closely with budget holders to review submissions, challenge assumptions and understand key cost and performance drivers.
- Consolidating budgets and forecasts and investigating movements, risks and opportunities.
- Producing detailed variance, trend and scenario analysis to support decision-making.
- Building, maintaining and improving financial models and planning tools.
- Turning complex financial information into clear commentary and insight for senior stakeholders.
- Supporting wider forecasting, reporting and ad-hoc FP&A activity during a busy period.
What we're looking for:
- You’ll be an experienced FP&A professional who is comfortable coming into a business and making an impact quickly.
- Ideally, you’ll bring:
- Strong hands-on budgeting, forecasting and financial planning experience.
- Experience working through a significant annual budget or reforecasting cycle.
- Strong Excel and financial modelling capability.
- Confidence partnering with and challenging senior budget holders.
- Excellent variance analysis and ability to get underneath the numbers.
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification, or equivalent experience.
- Experience working across a complex, multi-site or multi-business-unit organisation would be advantageous.
Why consider this role?
This is an opportunity to join a well-established finance function at an important point in its planning cycle. You’ll have the opportunity to take genuine ownership, work closely with senior finance and operational stakeholders and make an immediate impact on a high-profile budgeting process. It would suit an experienced Senior FP&A Analyst, FP&A Manager or established FP&A contractor who enjoys getting into the detail, challenging the business and delivering at pace.
