SF Partners are delighted to be working with a high growth PE Backed services business in Derbyshire. This is an exciting opportunity for a commercial Finance Analyst looking to join a business which offers real growth & development. The Commercial Analyst will provide the analytical backbone for the Growth Team — building the deal models that price acquisitions, tracking performance against those models, and giving the BDM and leadership the data to make better channel and investment decisions.
Key responsibilities
* Build and maintain the acquisition valuation model: average matter values, executor appointment realisation rates, attrition, and deal IRR.
* Run the numbers on each target during DD: sensitivity analysis, scenario modelling, recommended offer range.
* Build and maintain the post-acquisition tracking dashboard: actual vs. modelled performance for every acquisition, with monthly variance reporting.
* Channel analytics for the BDM: cost per lead, conversion funnels, LTV by introducer, payback periods.
* Pricing analysis & competitive benchmarking and margin work.
