I'm working with a high-growth, technology-led business that is entering an exciting phase of scale and transformation. They are looking for a Head of FP&A to join the senior finance team and fundamentally rethink how FP&A operates across the business. This is not a role where you inherit an established FP&A machine and simply keep it running. The brief is to build a more sophisticated, forward-looking finance function - combining strong commercial thinking, robust modelling and reporting with AI, automation and better use of data.
Reporting directly to the CFO, you'll have significant visibility and influence across the organisation.
The role
You will own the company-wide planning, forecasting, modelling and performance reporting agenda, while becoming a key commercial partner to the Executive team. Key areas will include:
- Leading budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning
- Owning and enhancing the core three-statement financial models
- Developing high-quality management information, dashboards and financial storytelling
- Partnering with senior stakeholders across Sales, GTM, Product, Engineering and Operations
- Supporting pricing decisions, investment cases and strategic decision-making
- Supporting M&A, due diligence and transaction-readiness
- Re-engineering FP&A processes through AI, automation and improved data foundations
- Driving greater forecasting accuracy, efficiency and insight
- Raising the standard of existing processes and commercial finance
What they're looking for
You'll ideally bring:
- 7+ years' experience across FP&A / commercial finance
- Strong SaaS / technology experience - this is particularly important
- Excellent three-statement modelling and financial analysis skills
- Experience operating in a fast-growth, data-driven environment
- Strong commercial business partnering experience with senior stakeholders
- ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent qualification preferred
- Experience of PE-backed environments, transactions, due diligence or lender reporting would be advantageous
- Excellent Excel and financial systems / BI capability
