FP&A Manager - Commercial Finance & Strategic Growth Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire 80,000- 85,000 + Bonus + Benefits This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly ambitious, well-funded and rapidly growing UK business at an early and genuinely exciting stage of its development. With substantial long-term investment behind it, an experienced leadership team and ambitious growth plans, the business is actively investing and acquiring. You'll join at a stage where you can genuinely help shape what comes next. Working directly with the CFO and Executive Team, you'll get exceptional exposure to investors, acquisitions, investment appraisal, business planning, Board reporting, funding, commercial performance and strategic decision-making. Initially, you'll be the key dedicated FP&A / Commercial Finance resource. You won't simply inherit an established FP&A function and existing way of doing things, you'll help build and develop it. The Role: This is an unusually broad role. You'll own and continually develop the Group business plan, establish and develop monthly Board reporting, lead budgeting and forecasting and work closely with Management Accounting to turn financial information into meaningful commercial insight. You'll also get genuine exposure to the investment agenda, assessing potential opportunities, building financial models and scenarios, supporting due diligence and helping integrate investments following completion. Your remit will include: - Business planning across P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow - Investment and acquisition appraisal, including ROI, IRR and MOIC modelling - Board and investor reporting - Budgeting, forecasting and scenario modelling - Commercial business partnering and performance analysis - Capital allocation and investment appraisal - Cash-flow forecasting, funding requirements and covenant reporting - Developing KPIs, management information and the future FP&A/reporting environment There will be significant financial modelling and detailed spreadsheet work, so highly advanced Excel skills are essential. Power BI experience would be a real advantage. What we're looking for: - We're looking for a high-calibre, academically strong, qualified finance professional (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), likely with around 3-5+ years PQE. - Previous experience developing and maintaining business plans is essential, alongside strong financial modelling, budgeting, forecasting and commercial analysis experience. - Just as important will be your commercial acumen, communication skills and ability to business partner. You'll need the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders and go beyond presenting data - getting underneath the numbers, explaining what is driving them, what they mean for the business and what you believe should happen next. - You'll also need to be comfortable being hands-on. This is a growing business where everything hasn't already been designed and built for you. You'll need to enjoy creating structure, improving processes and getting into the detail yourself. - Previous acquisition experience would be advantageous but isn't essential. We're more interested in someone with the intellectual curiosity and commercial judgement to understand an opportunity and quickly identify what drives value. Why consider it? - The breadth and exposure are exceptional. - You'll work closely with the CFO and Executive Team, interact with investors and senior external stakeholders, assess future investment opportunities and have genuine input into the commercial and strategic direction of a business with substantial growth ambitions. - It could be a great next step for an ambitious FP&A / Commercial Finance professional looking for considerably more exposure, or someone in a larger corporate who likes the idea of playing an early and significant part in building a well-funded, growing business. - And while it's ambitious and fast-moving, it isn't built around a late-night culture. - There's a genuine team spirit and a refreshing emphasis on flexibility and work-life balance.
