Job Description

FP&A Lead – 7-Month Fixed-Term Contract

Salary: £100,000
Location: London – Hybrid (1 day per week in the office)
Contract: 7-month FTC
Start Date: Immediate

The Opportunity

We're partnering with a PE-backed business with approximately £20m turnover to recruit an experienced FP&A Lead for an initial seven-month fixed-term contract.

This is a genuine 360° FP&A position, offering the opportunity to take ownership of budgeting, forecasting and financial performance while working closely with senior leadership and investors.

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, who comes from a finance background himself, you'll be joining a business where finance is genuinely valued and seen as a key driver of commercial performance.

The immediate focus will be on bringing structure, clarity and credibility to the budgeting and forecasting processes, while ensuring senior leadership and investors have confidence in the numbers.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the budgeting and forecasting processes, improving accuracy, structure and financial visibility.

• Deliver meaningful financial analysis and reporting to support commercial decision-making.

• Build confidence and credibility with PE investors through robust financial information and clear communication.

• Work directly with the Managing Director to identify opportunities to improve business performance.

• Develop and improve FP&A processes, reporting and financial controls where required.

• Provide both hands-on financial analysis and strategic commercial support across the business.

About You

We're looking for an experienced FP&A professional who can hit the ground running and operate comfortably at both a detailed and strategic level.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Previous experience working within a PE-backed business.

• Strong budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling experience.

• The ability to communicate confidently with senior leadership and investors.

• A hands-on approach, with the ability to improve processes rather than simply maintain them.

• Strong commercial awareness and the confidence to challenge and influence decisions.

• Availability to start immediately or at short notice.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to make a genuine impact within a PE-backed business, working directly with a financially minded Managing Director who understands and values the contribution of finance.

You'll have significant ownership, direct exposure to senior decision-makers and investors, and the flexibility of attending the London office just once per week.
