FP&A Manager

FP&A Manager

London - Hybrid

£75-80k + benefits

We Do Group is supporting a rapidly growing, Private Equity backed, multi-site healthcare business to recruit an FP&A Manager.

This is a newly created role with a really clear initial mandate - build a best-in-class FP&A capability and, critically, take full ownership of redeveloping the Group's annual budget and integrated three-statement financial model from the ground up.

The business is growing quickly both organically and through acquisition, creating a need for significantly more sophisticated, forward-looking financial planning and insight.

We're looking for a qualified accountant with strong FP&A and modelling experience who can take multiple operational drivers across a complex multi-site business and turn them into a robust, dynamic and genuinely PE-grade budget.

This position reports directly to the CFO with significant exposure to the investors and wider senior leadership team.

If you enjoy building rather than inheriting, getting under the skin of what really drives business performance and creating financial models that actually influence decision making, this should be a really interesting opportunity.

Wish List

\n
• Fully qualified accountant - ACA, ACCA or CIMA
\n
• Advanced financial modelling skills with experience across three-statement models
\n
• Proven experience building or developing driver-based annual budgets
\n
• Previous exposure to PE-backed, high-growth environments highly advantageous
\n
• Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with large and complex data sets
\n
• Strong understanding of cash flow, working capital and revenue forecasting
\n
• Excellent stakeholder management skills with the confidence to work directly with CFO, Board and investor-level stakeholders
\n

The Role

The successful FP&A Manager will lead the following:

\n
• Deliver a dull redesign of the Group's annual budget, moving it to a user friendly, driver based tool.
\n
• Own and maintain the integrated three-statement financial model, linking P&L, balance sheet and cash flow to provide a single forward-looking view of Group performance
\n
• Identifying and modelling the key operational drivers behind revenue, labour, profitability, working capital, cash generation and EBITDA
\n
• Creating scenario and sensitivity modelling to understand the impact of different operational, commercial and investment decisions
\n
• Owning monthly forecasting and re-forecasting processes, continually improving accuracy and visibility of future performance
\n
• Developing long-range plans to support the Group's strategic growth and PE value creation objectives
\n
• Providing clear variance and bridge analysis across actuals, budget, forecast and prior periods
\n
• Partnering with operational leaders to understand performance across individual sites and identify opportunities to improve revenue, margin and profitability
\n
• Producing Board and investor-grade financial analysis, forecasts and performance insight
\n
• Supporting financial modelling for acquisitions, investment decisions and integration activity
\n
• Developing meaningful financial and operational KPIs alongside Finance, Operations and Data teams
\n
• Improving and automating management information to create faster and more actionable insight
\n
• Continuing to develop the FP&A infrastructure, processes and reporting required to support a rapidly scaling organisation

Your Profile

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys building financial models rather than simply updating somebody else's spreadsheet every month.

You'll be comfortable delivering autonomously and be used to quickly grasping the operational mechanics of a business and translating them into a sophisticated financial model that senior leadership and investors can genuinely rely upon.

You'll need the technical modelling capability to develop the integrated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow forecast, but equally importantly, the commercial curiosity to understand the operational assumptions sitting underneath it.

The environment is fast paced, acquisitive and evolving, so you'll need to be pragmatic, comfortable with imperfect information and capable of improving sophistication without creating unnecessary complexity.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who wants ownership.

This isn't a role where FP&A simply reports what happened last month. The ambition is to build a forward-looking FP&A capability that helps the CFO, Board and investors understand what happens next - and why.

We're keen to speak with progressive FP&A analyst looking to take a step up into full ownership or established FP&A Managers who thrive in roles where they have autonomy.

Salary & Benefits

£75-80k + bonus, pension, healthcare and benefits.

This is a London-based hybrid role, offering direct exposure to the CFO and PE investors alongside the opportunity to build and shape the FP&A capability of a rapidly growing multi-site healthcare group.

For someone looking to develop towards a Head of FP&A or broader finance leadership position in the future, the combination of modelling ownership, PE exposure, acquisitions and strategic business partnering should provide an excellent platform.
