Interim Head of FP&A | PE backed High-Growth Tech Scale-Up | £700-£900/day | Outside IR35 | ASAP start (1 week notice max)
We are working exclusively with a high-growth technology scale‑up based in Central London. With circa 80 employees and a trajectory expected to take the business through hyper‑growth scale in the next few years, the business is backed by serious ambition, moves fast and operates at the highest level.
They are looking for a Head of FP&A to come in and own the finance function end‑to‑end during a critical period of growth. This is not a management role. It is a hands‑on, sleeves‑rolled‑up position for someone who thrives under pressure, delivers at pace and can hold their own in a room full of C‑suite executives every single day.
The role
You will be the commercial brain behind the numbers, working directly alongside the leadership team from day one.
Key responsibilities
Own and drive the annual budget cycle from the ground up
Lead monthly budget reviews and performance reporting, giving the C‑suite the insight they need to make fast, high‑stakes decisions
Build and maintain a 13‑week cash‑flow forecast that gives the business real visibility during a critical period of scaling
Architect the 3‑ and 5‑year business plan underpinning a multi‑billion pound growth story
Be a daily commercial finance partner to the C‑suite, translating numbers into sharp, actionable insight

What we are looking for
This brief is specific and the client will not look outside it. Please only apply if you meet the following:
ACA qualified, Big‑4 or Top 10 trained – this is non‑negotiable
Early career background in transaction services, deal advisory or financial due diligence at a Big‑4 or Top 10 firm – the client wants someone who has been through the deals environment and understands what rigour looks like
Significant FP&A experience at a senior level following that foundation – you must know FP&A inside‑out and have owned the full suite end‑to‑end
Proven track record in high‑growth, scale‑up or PE‑backed environments – large corporate only backgrounds will not be considered
Exceptional communicator with gravitas – you will be in front of the C‑suite daily and need to command the room
Commercially sharp, switched on and prepared for long hours in a high‑expectation environment
Available immediately with no notice period – the business needs someone to start next week
