Senior Group FP&A Manager
Manchester (1 day per week in the office)
£80,000 - £90,000 + bonus
Robert Walters are excited to be partnering with a high-growth, PE-backed financial services group (£1bn+ revenue) in the search for their new Senior Group FP&A Manager. This newly created position has come about on the back an exceptional growth trajectory, showcasing monthly acquisitions and impressive organic expansion with a focus on international progress.
Sitting at the heart of the Group finance function, you will deliver high-quality financial analysis, shape strategic decision-making, and influence performance across a rapidly scaling, data-rich business. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role with significant exposure to the Group CFO, investors, and divisional leadership teams.
We’re looking for a commercially minded finance leader with experience in Transaction Services and a strong background in financial due diligence, or a finance leader with an exceptional analytical background gained within a complex, data-heavy Group environment within industry (ideally FS). Proficiency with Power BI, Power Query, and planning tools is essential.
Key Responsibilities:
*Deliver monthly Group results packs with clear, insightful commentary for senior stakeholders.
*Analyse performance trends across the Group and provide actionable recommendations to drive improvement.
*Enhance executive-level reporting across P&L, cash flow and balance sheet.
*Lead the development of Group-level reporting and analytics using Power BI.
*Identify opportunities for process optimisation and automation across reporting cycles.
*Own the end-to-end Group budgeting and forecasting processes, partnering with divisional teams.
*Support long-term strategic planning by reviewing business plans against Group objectives.
*Produce variance analysis against budget, forecast, and prior periods.
*Prepare high-quality reporting packs for Executive Committees and Board meetings.
*Champion improvements to systems, tools, and data infrastructure.
Qualifications & Experience:
*ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or equivalent).
*Strong exposure to financial due diligence (Transaction Services experience advantageous).
*Experience of planning and consolidation tools such as Anaplan.
*Proven FP&A experience within a Group or multi-entity environment.
*Strong communication skills up to C-suite.
*Advanced Excel (modelling, complex formulas, pivot tables) and strong capability with Power BI, Power Query, or Alteryx.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
This is a chance to join a highly acquisitive, exceptionally profitable financial services Group following significant PE investment. With EBITDA exceeding 30% and a constant pipeline of acquisitions, the business offers unparalleled exposure to strategic projects, complex analytics, and transformation initiatives.
You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the Group’s reporting infrastructure, working closely with senior leaders and investors while driving meaningful, organisation-wide impact in a dynamic and well-capitalised environment.
