About this role

Financial Planning Analyst

Job Purpose

Supports the Head of Group FP&A in running the Group's forecasting, budgeting, and reporting cycle, and acts as the FP&A resource for smaller subsidiaries that don't yet have a dedicated full-time finance analyst.

Maintain and update the Group consolidation model monthly, reconciling actuals to forecast and flagging variances.
Provide forecasting, budgeting, and management-reporting support directly to subsidiaries without their own FP&A resource.
Prepare Board and management reporting packs to house standard, on a fixed monthly / quarterly cadence.
Support the annual budget process: templates, data collection from BUs, consolidation, and variance commentary.
Run variance analysis against budget and prior forecast, and draft the narrative behind the numbers.
Maintain KPI and unit-economics tracking across the entities in scope.
Respond to ad hoc analysis requests from the CFO, Head of Group FP&A, or subsidiary leadership.
About You
You're comfortable being the only FP&A point of contact for a subsidiary. You don't wait to be told exactly what's needed.
You keep the model and the numbers clean, even when the underlying data isn't
You ask the subsidiary team the right questions rather than guessing at the answer.
You deliver reporting on a fixed cadence, on time, without chasing.
What Success Looks Like
Group model reconciles to actuals monthly with no unexplained variances.
Subsidiaries in scope receive consistent, on-time FP&A support and no longer flag gaps in coverage.
Board packs and management reports are delivered to house standard, every cycle.
Budget data collection from BUs happens on schedule, with minimal follow-up required.

Part-qualified or qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA / CPA) or equivalent analytical background.
4-6 years of experience in FP&A, financial analysis, or a similar corporate finance role.
Advanced Excel / financial modelling skills.
Experience working with multi-entity or multi-currency numbers.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in banking, fintech, or another regulated environment.
Exposure to Board-level reporting.
Comfort working directly with subsidiary or BU stakeholders without close day-to-day supervision.

A preliminary phone call with one of our recruiters.
