Financial Planning and Analysis Lead
This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-impact environment and is excited about building robust financial planning processes from scratch.
You will be responsible for developing an integrated 3-statement financial model (P&L, balance sheet, and cashflow) aligned with business objectives. This will involve leading the development of Amber Labs' long-range financial plan (5-year plan), preparing and maintaining rolling forecasts and scenario planning models, and owning the annual budgeting process.
Additionally, you will build and manage detailed cashflow models to support decision-making and capital allocation. You will also monitor liquidity and working capital trends, providing early insights to management.
You will have a dotted line into our Fractional CFO and collaborate with key stakeholders including the CEO, Sales Director, and Operations Director. You will also deputise for the Head of Finance as needed.
As a commercially curious, strategic & detail-oriented individual, you will have a proven experience in a fast-paced FP&A role, ideally within a consulting, professional services or tech-led environment. You will be comfortable working autonomously and building from a blank slate.
You will partner with Sales and Operations to align financial planning with revenue operations, develop automated reporting templates and standardised processes for budget holders, and contribute to strategic finance projects.
This role requires strong financial modelling, analysis and Excel skills, as well as excellent communication skills and experience working with non-finance stakeholders. A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or equivalent experience is preferred.
Built strong, trusted relationships with key stakeholders, gained a deep understanding of Amber Labs' business model, revenue streams, cost drivers and levers for growth and profitability, completed a smooth and thorough handover from the Head of Finance, with clear ownership of the FP&A remit.
