We are partnering with a high-growth, private equity backed group of independent schools in London to recruit a commercially driven Financial Planning & Analysis Manager. This role is paying £60,000 - £70,000 per annum. Note, it is critical you have previously worked within a private equity backed environment. This organisation is a fast-growing group of independent schools in the UK backed by private equity investors, focused on building a premium, multi-site education platform. It operates a portfolio of schools that typically combine strong academic performance with modern facilities and a broad co-curricular offering. The model is centred on acquiring, integrating, and improving schools while preserving their individual identities and educational standards. From a strategic perspective, the business is driven by value creation typical of private equity ownership, growing pupil numbers, optimising fee structures, improving operational efficiency, and expanding through acquisitions.

If you're considering joining a business like this, the appeal is typically exposure to strategy, M&A activity, and board-level decision-making, but it also comes with the intensity and accountability that private equity ownership brings. The Financial Planning & Analysis Manager is central to driving financial performance, supporting strategic decision-making, and delivering high-quality insights to senior leadership and investors. This position offers direct exposure to operational leaders, making it ideal for a high calibre finance leader seeking impact, visibility, and progression in a fast-paced PE environment.

Analyse financial results, identify trends, and provide actionable recommendations to improve performance. Support month-end and year-end processes, working closely with accounting teams. Drive improvements in reporting processes, tools, and data quality to enhance efficiency and accuracy. Prepare presentations and reports for executive leadership and board-level discussions. Monitor costs, revenues, and profitability across departments or business units. Ensure financial plans align with organisational goals and market conditions. Financial Planning & Analysis Manager: Qualified accountant (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CGMA/CIMA) or equivalent. It is essential you have worked in a private equity backed organisation.

Support long term financial strategy with structured analysis. Systems & automation: Partner with BizOps on the finance stack (QuickBooks, Datarails, Rippling). Drive automation of reporting and forecasting workflows. Use AI to minimise manual and repeat work across the finance function. Define what leadership needs from BI and reporting outputs. Who you are (skills and experience) At least 4 years in a commercial finance or finance business partnering background, ideally in a high growth or scale up environment Month end close management: ability to run a reliable, timely close process and ensure accurate numbers with minimal fire drills; experience managing external accountants A track record of building forecasting and reporting cadences that leadership trusts and uses Good financial modelling skills - 3 statement models, scenario planning, sensitivity analysis Ability to translate financial complexity into clear narrative and recommendations Strong stakeholder management across commercial, delivery, ops, and leadership teams Comfort working with imperfect data and a drive to improve it through better definitions, processes, and systems Experience with both services and software revenues, ideally within the same company Experience automating finance processes using AI and other technologies Familiarity with QuickBooks, Datarails, or similar FP&A tooling Experience supporting board reporting, investor materials, or fundraising prep Who you are (mindset) You treat finance as a proactive partner to the business, not a reactive reporting function You're comfortable in ambiguity and know how to make progress without perfect conditions You care about making things simpler and more reliable over time, not just getting through the month You communicate clearly and confidently with non finance stakeholders You're energised by a fast moving environment and take ownership seriously Please note: this role is required to be in-office 4 days a week Focaldata is an equal opportunities employer. We believe in the value of a diverse and inclusive workforce for our business, team and customers.
