FP&A and Commercial Finance Manager - Build a function from ground up Location: Brighouse Salary: £65k-£75k pa What Would You Build If You Started With Nothing? Not inherited spreadsheets. Not outdated reports. Not someone else s version of good enough. Just a business. A leadership team ready for change. And a blank canvas. Because that s exactly what s on offer here. A Role That Starts With a Question What does great FP&A actually look like here? Not in theory. Not in a textbook. But in a real, complex, multi-site business operating at serious scale. Right now, the answer doesn t exist. Which is why this role does. Why This Isn t Like Other FP&A Roles Most roles give you a framework and ask you to run it. This one gives you a business and asks you to design the framework. How should forecasting actually work? What should leadership really be measuring? Where are the blind spots in performance? How do you turn data into decisions, not just reports? You won t be tweaking the edges. You ll be defining the core. The Business You re Walking Into - A £200m+ organisation. - Established. Recognised. Complex. - Now entering a new phase. - New leadership. - New investment in systems and data. - A clear shift from reporting the past to shaping the future. They ve already started laying the groundwork: Strengthening core finance Investing in BI and data capability Bringing in people who think differently But the real step-change? That comes from building a proper FP&A engine. What This Role Feels Like Day-to-Day Some days you ll be deep in a model, connecting operational drivers to financial outcomes. Other days, you ll be in conversations that shape real decisions: Why is one region outperforming another? What happens if we change pricing, stock mix or investment levels? Where is cash really being generated (or lost)? You ll move quickly between detail and big picture. Between numbers and narrative. Between building and influencing. And Yes - You re Building It All There s no legacy to fight against. So you ll create: Forecasting models that actually reflect how the business runs Cash flow visibility that leadership can rely on Scenario planning that supports real decisions KPI frameworks that drive behaviour, not just track it Reporting that tells a story, not just fills a pack Over time, this evolves into something bigger: A function that sits at the centre of how the business thinks, plans and performs. The Kind Of Person Who Leans Into This: This role isn t about ticking boxes. It s about mindset. You ll likely enjoy this if you: Prefer building models to maintaining them Get curious when something doesn t make sense Like working things out when there isn t a clear answer Are comfortable challenging how things are done Want your work to influence decisions, not just document them You might be in FP&A already. Or commercial finance. Or somewhere analytical where you ve outgrown the environment you re in. What matters most is this: You see opportunity where others see unfinished. What Happens If You Get This Right This isn t just a role. It s a platform. Because once this capability is built: You become the go-to person for performance and insight You work closely with senior leadership on strategy You shape how data is used across the business You re in a position to build and lead a team And crucially You ll be able to point to something tangible and say: That didn t exist before I got here. The Practical Bits (Briefly) £65,000 £75,000 base salary Bonus + benefits package West Yorkshire-based (initially more on-site to embed, then flexibility) Exposure across multiple sites and leadership teams Target audience: CIMA/ACCA/ACA qualified Proven experience in FP&A focussed Commercial Finance roles Strong technical experience with Excel, Power BI, Analytics tools Automation.

Senior FP&A Business Partner Salary: £70k-£80k Location: East Riding of Yorkshire Build Something That Doesn t Exist Yet Most FP&A roles ask you to improve what s 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 there s one thing missing. A modern FP&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. That s where you come in. Why This Role Is Different You re not inheriting legacy. You re not navigating politics. You re not trying to fix something half-built. You re 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 won t just report on performance. You ll help define it. The Bigger Picture You re 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, it s 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 You ll Actually Be Doing This isn t theoretical FP&A. It s hands-on, high-impact and visible. You ll 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 You ll 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 isn t for someone who wants a neat, finished environment. It s for someone who sees opportunity in that. You might recognise yourself if you: Enjoy building models more than maintaining them Spot when something doesn t 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, you ll likely have: A professional qualification (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) Exceptionally strong FP&A, commercial finance or analytical experience. Exposure to complex, data-rich environments Manufacturing (or related sectors) helpful Confidence working with senior stakeholders What This Role Becomes Right now, it s a standalone, build-from-scratch opportunity. But it won t stay that way. As the capability grows, so does the role: The chance to build and lead a team Broader ownership across commercial finance and strategy A key role in shaping how the business uses data and insight long-term This is one of those roles you look back on and say: That s where everything accelerated. Why It s Worth Exploring Because roles like this don t come around often. The timing. The backing. The freedom. The scope. Everything is there. All it needs is someone who can see the opportunity - and build something exceptional from it. If you re ready to move from analysing performance to shaping it, this could be your moment.
