Performance & Reporting Finance Manager
(Regulated Utilities / Infrastructure)
Location: Warwickshire (hybrid)
Salary: £70,000 – £80,000 + benefits
Sector: Regulated utilities / infrastructure
The Role
This is a performance-focused regulatory finance role, sitting at the intersection of FP&A, regulatory reporting and scenario modelling within a regulated utilities environment.
The role supports senior stakeholders by maintaining and evolving regulatory financial models, delivering performance insight against price controls, and supporting scenario analysis linked to revenue recovery, incentives and capital investment.
This is not a pure statutory or technical accounting role. The emphasis is on forward-looking analysis, regulatory performance and commercial insight.
Key Responsibilities
Own and maintain the regulatory financial performance model used to support business planning, forecasting and regulatory submissions
Deliver scenario analysis and sensitivity modelling to assess financial impacts of regulatory, operational and investment changes
Produce performance reporting against regulatory allowances, incentives and output measures
Support revenue forecasting and recovery analysis, including regulatory charging and income mechanisms
Provide insight on capex / totex performance, asset investment and regulatory returns
Partner closely with operational, commercial and regulatory teams to ensure financial assumptions are robust and aligned
Support interaction with the regulator through analysis, data provision and narrative support
Prepare high-quality reporting for senior leadership, translating complex regulatory mechanics into clear financial insight
Continuously improve modelling, reporting and data processes (Excel, SAP, Power BI or similar)
What We’re Looking For
Background
Experience within a regulated utilities or infrastructure environment (energy, gas, electricity, water, transport or similar)
Exposure to price control frameworks, regulatory reporting or performance management
(e.g. RIIO, AMP, PR19/PR24, ED1/ED2, GD1/GD2, allowed revenue models)
Core Skillset
Strong FP&A / performance reporting capability
Experience with financial modelling and scenario analysis
Understanding of capex, totex and regulatory asset bases
Ability to interpret and challenge regulatory and operational data
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and evolving regulatory environments
Qualifications
ACA / ACCA / CIMA (or equivalent) preferred, but experience is more important than badge
What This Role Is Not
A pure statutory / IFRS reporting role
A narrow technical accounting position
A back-office compliance role
This is a commercial, performance-led regulatory finance role with real influence
