A career with Psychiatry UK allows you to expand your knowledge, enhance your skills, and gain valuable life experience—all while enjoying the flexibility of a hybrid full‑time role. As part of a leading online mental health service, you will collaborate with innovative, forward‑thinking professionals in a dynamic, multidisciplinary team committed to making a real difference.

The Senior FP&A Analyst will play a critical role in supporting the financial health and strategic decision‑making of our organisation. You will be responsible for the day‑to‑day oversight, processing, and analysis of financial data, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. Your insights will directly influence budgeting, forecasting, and business performance initiatives across the company.

This is a hybrid role, which requires working one day at our Newcastle Office and 4 days working from home.

As our Senior FP&A Analyst you will:

• Support the Financial Controller and CFO in delivering financial planning, analysis, and insights to drive strategic and operational decisions.
• Prepare and maintain monthly management reports, including variance analysis and commentary on key drivers and risks.
• Assist with budgeting, reforecasting, and rolling forecasts, ensuring timely, accurate, and well‑communicated outputs.
• Develop and maintain financial models to support business cases, growth initiatives, cost‑saving opportunities, and capital expenditure decisions.
• Analyse operational performance, cost drivers, and overheads, providing actionable recommendations to improve efficiency and profitability.
• Partner with project and operational leads to track performance, analyse spend, and highlight variances and risks with proposed actions.
• Support cash‑flow forecasting, working capital analysis, and liquidity monitoring, flagging key risks and opportunities.
• Prepare board and senior management reporting, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and alignment with Group policies.
• Improve financial processes, reporting automation, and controls, leveraging Excel and financial systems to enhance efficiency.
• Complete ad‑hoc analysis, commercial projects, and provide analytical support during audits as required.

To succeed as our Senior FP&A Analyst you will be a finance professional with a sharp analytical mindset and strong attention to detail, capable of interpreting complex financial data and delivering actionable insights. The ideal candidate communicates clearly with both senior management and non‑financial stakeholders, collaborates effectively across teams, and takes initiative to solve problems while meeting tight deadlines. Excellent time management, adaptability, and resilience are essential, along with a strong business acumen to translate financial information into strategic decisions in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment.
