FP&A Analyst | Global Music Business | London/Hybrid

FP&A Analyst | Global Music Technology Business | London/Hybrid

Our client is a well-established, globally recognised music business with a passionate customer base and a brilliant culture. The business is in an exciting phase of growth and investment, and the finance team is expanding to match. This is a newly created role offering genuine breadth and exposure from day one.

The Role

This is an FP&A role suited to someone with a strong foundation in finance and accounting, ideally 4-5 years of broad experience including at least 1-2 years specifically within FP&A or a commercially focused analytical role. You will work directly alongside the Head of FP&A and gain regular exposure to the CEO and senior leadership team, taking real ownership of forecasting, budgeting, and board-level reporting across the business. This is best suited to someone already comfortable operating at this level who is looking for a smaller team and more ownership of the day-to-day, rather than a significant step up in scope.

The team is small but high-performing, and the culture is open, collaborative, and creative. You will sit in an open-plan office alongside marketing, label, and leadership teams, so we are looking for someone warm, proactive, and confident communicating with everyone from the C-suite to creative teams.

Responsibilities

• Own forecasting and budgeting cycles across the business, working closely with budget holders
• Prepare actuals vs. forecast analysis, providing clear variance explanations and commentary on the drivers
• Analyse key commercial and operational KPIs and translate these into clear P&L impact and insight
• Build and maintain financial models in Excel
• Support the preparation of board materials and leadership presentations
• Work closely with the Head of FP&A on planning and reporting deliverables
• Partner with non-finance teams across the business, translating numbers into clear commercial insight
• Potential exposure to corporate finance and corporate development projects
• Ad hoc tasks/analysis and support for the leadership team as the business develops

What We Need to See (Essential)

• 4-5 years of progressive finance experience, including at least 1-2 years in a dedicated FP&A or commercially focused analytical role
• Proven experience analysing P&L/income statement performance, with confident variance analysis and clear commentary on the underlying drivers
• Experience working with commercial or operational KPIs, understanding how these inputs drive financial performance
• Confident communicator, comfortable partnering with stakeholders across the business

What We’d Like to See (Bonus)

• Experience within a subscription or platform business model
• A genuine passion for music and the creative industries
• Experience working with subscriber, usage, or transaction-based KPIs

Package:

Location: Central London

Working Pattern: Hybrid, 3 days per week in the office, with flexibility

Progression: Genuine scope to grow with a scaling finance team, with exposure to senior leadership from day one
