The Opportunity:
An outstanding opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and data-driven Head of FP&A to join a high-performing, Private Equity-backed international technology business headquartered in London. With revenues of £100m and an impressive £20m EBITDA, the company is delivering 20% year-on-year growth through a blend of organic performance and strategic M&A, typically completing 2–3 acquisitions annually.
With a clear trajectory towards a planned exit in the next 3–4 years, the business is well-capitalised by its investors and committed to continued innovation, scalability, and commercial excellence.
Reporting into a seasoned CFO with a deep track record in Private Equity and technology, the Head of FP&A will play a pivotal role in shaping the business’s financial narrative—leading budgeting, forecasting, commercial insight, and data transformation, while supporting key operational decisions that drive margin and performance improvement.
The Role:
- Lead and evolve the Group FP&A function, managing two FP&A analysts and partnering closely with the Financial Controller on monthly reporting cycles.
- Deliver timely, accurate, and insightful financial analysis to support executive decision-making.
- Own the budgeting, reforecasting, and long-range planning processes.
- Lead a data transformation project, embedding scalable, insightful reporting capabilities across the business.
- Support the ERP upgrade and implementation of FP&A tools to drive automation and analytics.
- Partner with senior stakeholders, including the Managing Director and CCO, on commercial strategy, pricing models, and new business opportunities.
- Liaise with the Private Equity investment team, providing clear financial narratives and value creation insights.
The Requirements:
- Qualified accountant (e.g. ACA, CIMA, ACCA) with strong FP&A leadership experience.
- Proven background in a Private Equity-backed and/or international growth environment, ideally within technology or digital sectors.
- Technically strong, commercially minded, and able to work at both a strategic and hands-on level.
- Demonstrable success in leading data-driven decision-making and financial transformation.
- Experienced in ERP systems and FP&A tools; confident working with large datasets and building scalable reporting frameworks.
- High attention to detail, strong communication skills, and a proactive, collaborative approach.
Culture & Environment:
- The company promotes a fast-paced, inclusive, and forward-thinking culture where collaboration, curiosity, and ownership are key.
- Backed by Private Equity but retaining the feel of an entrepreneurial scale-up, the environment is supportive, agile, and tech-enabled—ideal for individuals who thrive on growth, complexity, and purpose.
