We Do Group is supporting a growing, multi-site consumer group to recruit a Head of FP&A to lead financial planning and forecasting across the group. This is a highly visible role within an ambitious organisation, taking ownership of budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning while providing the financial insight needed to support continued organic and acquisitive growth.
We're looking for an experienced, qualified finance professional who combines excellent modelling and analytical capability with the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders and turn complex financial information into clear commercial actions. If you're looking for a senior, high-impact FP&A role with genuine ownership and influence but without needing to work a traditional five-day week then we'd love to hear from you.
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
- Strong post-qualified FP&A, commercial finance or strategic finance experience
- Proven ownership of annual budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning
- Advanced Excel and financial modelling capability
- Previous exposure to acquisitions and integrating new businesses into planning processes
- Strong understanding of operational and commercial performance drivers
- Experience presenting financial insight to Executive, Board or investor-level stakeholders
- Experience with modern FP&A, BI or reporting tools would be advantageous
The successful Head of FP&A will lead the following:
- Developing and maintaining rolling forecasts and long-range financial plans
- Building sophisticated financial models based on credible operational and commercial drivers
- Delivering scenario modelling and sensitivity analysis to support investment and strategic decision making
- Partnering with operational leaders to understand performance, challenge assumptions and identify emerging risks and opportunities
- Developing frameworks to monitor acquisition performance against original expectations
- Working closely with Business Intelligence to improve revenue forecasting and predictive modelling
- Developing financial and operational insights that create greater accountability across the organisation
- Identifying opportunities to use automation, data and AI to improve forecasting accuracy and reduce manual processes
We're looking for a confident and commercially minded finance leader who enjoys creating clarity from complexity. You'll be technically strong and comfortable building sophisticated financial models, but this isn't a role for someone who wants to sit behind a spreadsheet. You'll need to get under the skin of individual site performance, build trusted relationships with operational leaders and be prepared to constructively challenge assumptions where the numbers don't stack up.
The successful candidate will be self-sufficient, highly organised and comfortable taking ownership of planning cycles with minimal supervision. This is a part-time position of up to 25 hours per week, offering a degree of flexibility around how those hours are structured. The role is based in Abingdon with hybrid working, typically requiring 1-2 days per week on site.
