VNI Finance is delighted to work in exclusive partnership with our Private Equity-backed client in Glasgow to recruit a newly created FP&A Business Partner.
Our client is a £60m turnover business that recently changed PE ownership, with the new PE backer focused on investing in a dedicated FP&A function to drive business growth.
Our client has a strong track record of acquisitions, with additional strategic acquisitions in the pipeline.
The FP&A Business Partner will be heavily involved in building out the function, with strong exposure at the Exec level, and will work closely with a supportive, high-performing Head of FP&A who has recently moved internally to establish the function. The role will work closely with the wider Ops team, bringing an operational element to the role.
This would suit a qualified accountant, either coming from a Finance Business Partner role with strong budgeting and forecasting experience or moving from Corporate Finance/Transactional Services.
Role Overview:
- Lead and coordinate budgeting and forecasting activity across designated areas of the group.
- Produce accurate forecasts, clearly explaining movements against budget, prior forecast and previous periods.
- Build effective relationships with operational leaders, practice teams and senior management.
- Provide commercial analysis and constructive challenge to improve revenue, profitability and operational performance.
- Develop reporting that gives clear insight into key business drivers, trends, risks and opportunities.
- Support the Head of FP&A with group budgets, forecasts and longer-term financial plans.
- Prepare financial information and analysis for senior leadership and investor reporting.
- Develop financial models and scenario analysis to support strategic and operational decisions.
- Use Power BI to develop dashboards, management information and performance reporting.
- Identify opportunities to improve forecasting accuracy, financial controls and planning processes.
- Work with the wider finance team to align management reporting, forecasting and financial results.
- Support ad hoc commercial projects and business improvement initiatives.
Candidate Background:
- Strong budgeting and forecasting experience.
- Experience within a fast-paced, multi-site or private equity/investment-backed business would be advantageous.
- A commercial approach and the confidence to challenge and influence stakeholders.
- Strong analytical and financial-modelling skills.
- Experience using Power BI to produce dashboards and actionable management information.
- Advanced Excel skills.
- The ability to interpret complex financial information and communicate it clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
- A proactive approach, with the ability to manage competing priorities and tight deadlines.
Package:
2 days per week out of the city centre office
33 days annual leave
