Initial six-month contract with potential to become permanent
London
We are supporting a growing international renewable-energy business in the appointment of a Senior FP&A Analyst. The organisation develops, acquires and operates utility-scale solar, wind and battery-storage assets across multiple international markets.
This is a hands-on role supporting the business through its budgeting, forecasting and management-reporting cycles. The immediate priority is to take ownership of existing Excel-based files, ensuring that information is refreshed accurately, formulas and links remain robust, and data received from different parts of the organisation is consolidated effectively.
The opportunity would suit a qualified or part-qualified finance professional who began their career within a Big Four or mid-tier accounting firm before gaining commercial FP&A experience in industry. The business is particularly interested in candidates looking for an interim assignment that could develop into a permanent position.
Key responsibilities
- Maintain and refresh existing budgeting, forecasting and reporting files.
- Consolidate financial information received from different entities and stakeholders.
- Review formulas, links and data flows to ensure Excel files remain accurate and reliable.
- Clean, structure and analyse data received in inconsistent or unstructured formats.
- Support the annual budgeting cycle and subsequent forecasting and reforecasting processes.
- Prepare actual-versus-budget analysis and investigate key variances.
- Assist with monthly and quarterly management reporting.
- Work closely with finance and operational stakeholders to improve the quality of submissions.
- Identify weaknesses in current files and processes and recommend practical improvements.
- Provide ad-hoc financial analysis to support management decision-making.
Required experience
- Part-qualified or fully qualified accountant.
- Ideally trained within a Big Four or recognised mid-tier accounting firm.
- At least three years of FP&A experience within industry.
- Experience completing a full annual budgeting cycle.
- Advanced Excel skills, including maintaining linked files, troubleshooting formulas and working with unstructured data.
- At least three years of experience within energy, mining, infrastructure or another asset-intensive environment.
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to work comfortably with established files and recurring reporting processes.
- Clear communication skills and experience working with finance and non-finance stakeholders.
- Experience within a start-up, private-equity-backed or rapidly developing international business would be particularly valuable.
