The role this organisation has been waiting to fill
Our client has a problem most finance teams would envy: they're sitting on a wealth of data - commercial, operational, financial - and they're not yet using it to its full potential. That's where you come in.
This is a newly created role, and it's a proper blank-sheet opportunity. You won't be inheriting someone else's model or maintaining a reporting pack that's been the same for five years. You'll be building the FP&A function from the ground up: the frameworks, the dashboards, the narrative, the influence.
The CEO is an ICAEW-qualified accountant. They know what good looks like. They want a finance partner who gets there before they're asked — someone who surfaces the insight, not just the numbers.
What this role actually does
You'll sit at the intersection of finance, strategy and commercial performance, acting as the analytical engine behind executive decision-making. In practice that means:
Proactive insight, not reactive reporting . You'll anticipate what the CEO and Executive Team need to know before they ask. Trends, risks, opportunities — surfaced early and framed in business terms.
Revenue intelligence . The organisation has diverse income streams — membership, qualifications, events, commercial partnerships. You'll own the revenue analysis and forecasting function, drive accuracy, and deepen the organisation's understanding of what's driving performance.
Executive-ready analysis . Board pack quality financial storytelling. P&L analysis that goes beyond the numbers and connects to strategy. Models that inform real decisions, not just satisfy the audit trail.
Cross-functional BI . You'll combine financial data with operational and membership data to produce joined-up intelligence that the business can actually act on — using Power BI (or equivalent) to build dashboards that stick.
Financial modelling . Scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, investment appraisal. You'll build and own the models that support the organisation's strategic choices.
The organisation:
This well-established, purpose-led organisation has ambitious growth plans, multiple income lines, and a senior team that thinks commercially. The CEO wants finance at the table, not in the back office.
What we're looking for
A fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with a proven track record in FP&A, commercial finance or senior finance business partnering. You'll have:
- A clear record of delivering forward-looking financial intelligence to executive audiences — not just producing it, but influencing decisions with it
- Strong revenue forecasting experience, ideally across complex or multi-stream income models
- Expert Excel modelling (Power Query, Power Pivot, dynamic models, scenario analysis) and confident Power BI or equivalent
- The gravitas to challenge the CEO constructively, and the judgement to know when and
- A self-starting mindset — you spot the question before it's asked
