FP&A MANAGER
My client operates in a regulated, multi-entity environment, which places strong emphasis on financial control, product costing, and commercially grounded reporting. Finance plays a visible role in board-level decision-making, margin management, and forward planning rather than retrospective reporting. This position is designed for a senior finance professional who wants ownership of planning, reporting, and performance insight within a complex manufacturing group. This is a permanent role, with senior finance leadership expected to be onsite more so than not. Remuneration is attractive, inclusive of a bonus and benefits package.

- Lead and develop a qualified finance team, aligning delivery, standards, and performance goals.

- Shorten reporting cycles by identifying bottlenecks and improving close processes.
- Maintain robust month-end files supporting key judgements, estimates, and assumptions.
- Deliver standard cost versus actual cost analysis across priority product ranges.
- Review and analyse group transfer-pricing outcomes and commercial impact.
- Produce board-level financial packs with clear performance narratives and variance analysis.
- Build and maintain rolling financial forecasts that support decision-making and scenario planning.
- Lead annual budgeting with detailed, analysis-ready templates and consolidated outputs.
- Provide margin, rebate, OPEX, and performance insights to commercial and leadership teams.
- Drive continuous improvement in reporting, controls, and finance workflows.
REQUIREMENTS
- Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA), with 7+ years of relevant experience.
- Exposure to multi-company, multi-currency environments; regulated manufacturing experience advantageous.
- Strong technical accounting and management reporting capability.
- Advanced proficiency with ERP systems and Microsoft Office tools.
- Proven ability to lead, coach, and performance-manage qualified finance professionals.
- Commercial acumen with the ability to link financial data to operational decisions.
- Confidence presenting complex financial information to senior stakeholders and boards.
- Structured, analytical approach to problem-solving and prioritisation.
- Working knowledge of best-practice financial controls, forecasting, and change management.
