Interim FP&A Director

PE-backed

Infrastructure

Travel required

Pearse Portfolio are supporting a PE-backed infrastructure business in looking for an Interim FP&A Director to take ownership of the FP&A function and raise it to investor and lender grade at a pivotal point for the business.

This is a hands-on, diagnostic-led role. You will come in, take a hard look at how planning, forecasting and reporting work today, and rebuild what needs rebuilding. High autonomy, direct exposure to the CFO and investors, and a clear mandate to leave behind a function that runs.

The brief

• Deep-dive the current FP&A function: models, forecasting, budgeting and management reporting
• Rebuild the planning and forecasting process, with rollout economics, capex phasing and cash at the centre
• Produce board, investor and lender-grade reporting and analysis
• Sharpen cash forecasting and cost control
• Business partner with commercial and operational leadership on the numbers that drive the network
• Leave a functioning, well-documented FP&A capability behind you

You

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with senior FP&A leadership experience
• Track record fixing or building an FP&A function from the ground up, ideally in a capital-intensive, PE-backed or infrastructure business
• Strong on modelling, forecasting and unit economics
• Comfortable operating at pace with imperfect data and a demanding investor audience
• Available at short notice for an initial (3 to 6) month engagement
