Build Something That Doesnt Exist Yet
Most FP and A roles ask you to improve whats already there.
This one asks you to create it from scratch, and then be the leading force to drive tangible Operational, Commercial, and strategic change across the group.
Right now, this organisation is at a genuine inflection point. New leadership. New systems. New direction. A business with strong foundations, now ready to think, plan and perform at a completely different level.
But theres one thing missing.
A modern FP and A capability.
Not a reporting function.
Not a spreadsheet factory.
Something far more powerful.
A function that shapes decisions.
Challenges thinking.
Brings clarity to complexity.
And becomes central to how the business moves forward.
Thats where you come in.
Why This Role Is Different
Youre not inheriting legacy.
Youre not navigating politics.
Youre not trying to fix something half:built.
Youre stepping into a blank canvas : with full backing from a CFO and leadership team who want this built properly .
This Is Your Opportunity To
* Design how planning, forecasting and performance tracking should actually work
* Build models that reflect reality, not just history
* Introduce meaningful KPIs that drive behaviour, not just measure it
* Turn data into insight that leaders can act on immediately
* Help embed new systems and ways of working that elevate the entire business
In short : you wont just report on performance. Youll help define it.
The Bigger Picture Youre Walking Into
This is a well:established, multi:million:pound organisation with a strong reputation in its market.
But like many businesses that have grown over time, its now evolving.
* Significant investment in systems and technology
* A leadership team bringing fresh thinking and external perspective
* A clear focus on improving visibility, decision:making and performance
* A business that has been through challenge : and is now building forward with intent
Everything is aligned.
The only missing piece is someone who can bring structure, insight and commercial clarity to the numbers .
What Youll Actually Be Doing
This isnt theoretical FP and A.
Its hands:on, high:impact and visible.
Youll Be
* Building forecasting and planning frameworks that the business can rely on
* Developing models that connect operational drivers to financial outcomes
* Creating KPI suites that genuinely reflect performance across the business
* Partnering with operations, engineering and commercial teams to influence decisions
* Improving reporting so it becomes sharper, faster and more insightful
* Supporting the rollout of new systems and improving how data flows across the business
* Bringing modern tools (think Power BI, advanced analytics) into everyday use
Youll move between detail and big picture constantly.
One moment deep in the numbers.
The next shaping conversations at a senior level.
The Kind Of Person Who Thrives Here
This role isnt for someone who wants a neat, finished environment.
Its for someone who sees opportunity in that.
You Might Recognise Yourself If You
* Enjoy building models more than maintaining them
* Spot when something doesnt look right : and dig until you understand why
* Like asking why do we do it this way? (and then improving it)
* Are naturally curious about how a business really works
* Are comfortable working with ambiguity and turning it into clarity
* Want your work to influence decisions, not just document them
Background
wise, youll likely have:
* A professional qualification (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
* Exceptionally strong FP and A, commercial finance or analytical experience.
* Exposure to complex, data:rich environments
* Manufacturing (or related sectors) helpful
* Confidence working with senior stakeholders
