This isn’t your standard FP&A position. It’s a chance to take the lead on the finance function during a pivotal moment in the company’s growth. The business is ambitious, with a dynamic team and an exciting vision for the future. You’ll work on high-level projects, collaborate closely with a talented CFO, and play a key role in shaping the company’s future as it gears up for its next big move.

We need someone who can tick these boxes and bring energy to the role:

• Lead core FP&A functions with a fast-paced, “get stuff done” attitude.
• Oversee PE Reporting, ensuring all requirements align with Private Equity expectations.
• Prepare insightful board packs, delivering strategic information to key decision-makers.
• Manage banking reports and covenants, aligning financials with PE requirements.
• Take the lead on budgeting and planning cycles to shape the business's financial future.
• Provide cashflow forecasting expertise to keep the business on track.
• Use advanced Excel to turn data into clear, actionable insights.
• Experience with Adaptive and Power BI is a plus, especially for navigating the exit process.
• Lead commercial finance and business partnering across the business.
• Work directly with the board and PE firm.

Must-Have Skills:

• PE Experience – Understanding the dynamics of Private Equity-backed businesses and reporting requirements.
• Leading Board Packs and managing Banking Covenants.
• Qualified Accountant – ACA, CIMA, ACCA, or equivalent.
• Advanced Excel, Power BI, and ideally Adaptive.
• Exit Experience – Familiarity with preparing for a business exit is highly advantageous.

The Role:

This role is based in London but has a global scope, covering the UK and EMEA. It's hands-on and fast-paced, where you’ll be a key player in establishing a high-performing FP&A function while working with some of the company’s most exciting clients.

If you’re an innovative, driven Head of FP&A with Private Equity experience, this role offers a thrilling challenge. Reach out today to learn more!
