This is a newly created FP+A Manager job for a private equity backed manufacturing business based in Greater Manchester.
This is a £80M turnover high margin bespoke manufacturer with a UK wide reputation for best in class products. This role has been created on the back of recent private equity investment alongside a refinance. You will manage a small team, and reporting into the CFO you will lead a transformation project of this business focussing on data, analysis and world class business partnering so that no area of the business lacks real time financial insight into profitability and ROI.
This job will be the commercial right arm to the CFO, and the board. The transformation project will take significant time and effort but likely lead to hugely improved EBITDA and as such this is a business critical appointment. You will gain exposure to a further refinance and realistic exit in 3-5 years. Ultimately if you are sat in an FP+A role be it a Manager, Head of, or Director, and you are ambitious to become a PE CFO in 3-5 years, this role is tailormade to generate the experience and knowledge you will need to make that transition, whether within this business or another.
You will be a qualified accountant, ACA, ACCA or CIMA, with significant experience in an FP+A function. You will be an expert in generating and understanding financial data, but also have the nous to be able to explain information to less financial minded stakeholders as well as the MD, CEO, COO and the rest of the board. You will be a Power BI and Excel expert.
