Group Head of FP&A
This is a newly created Head of FPA position, which will give you the opportunity to support the CEO, CFO and Management Board. My client is a large business which has grown as a result of their acquisitive and entrepreneurial strategy. With the company now looking to enter a new stage of development, they are looking to enhance their Group level FPA team who will be responsible for business performance reporting, forecasting and ad-hoc strategic projects.
As Head of FPA you will be expected to develop and enhance the quality of insightful financial information that is being provided to the groups management board. This will require detailed analysis of the groups’ financial performance as well as accurate and regular forecasts. Aside from this you will work with the CFO to produce presentations aimed at key external stakeholders.
The company is looking for someone who can create and deliver an effective strategy for financial planning across the group, which will be supported by models enabling the company to undertake accurate reviews of potential strategies and business decisions. Although there will be a large focus on group level analysis, you will be encouraged to work very closely with the Divisional Finance Directors, understanding how their individual businesses work and getting them to adopt a consistent, group wide review of financial metrics.
The combination of the focus of this role and the groups’ ambitions make this a rare and highly attractive opportunity. You will have regular exposure to the key decision makers across the group and therefore have the opportunity to prove your potential as a future business leader.
We are therefore looking for a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with an impressive and stable career track record to date. You will need to have strong FPA experience from a growing, mid tier business environment. With the level of exposure attribute to this role, you will also need to be confident in your ability to present concise and meaningful financial information to senior stakeholders. It would be a distinct advantage to have experience from the insurance or financial service sectors but not essential.
