We are working with a private equity-backed professional services group seeking an ambitious, newly qualified accountant to join its finance team as an Interim FP&A Analyst.
This is an excellent opportunity for a recently qualified ACA from a Big 4 Transaction Services background to transition into a commercially focused role, working closely with the CFO and senior leadership team. There is significant scope to take on additional responsibility, with the potential to progress into a Finance Business Partner or FP&A Manager position.
Key responsibilities:
- Support the budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning processes
- Develop financial models and scenario analysis to support strategic decisions
- Analyse business performance, profitability and cash flow
- Assist with monthly management reporting and variance analysis
- Support the CFO with board packs and private equity investor reporting
- Work closely with operational teams to improve financial visibility
- Support acquisition analysis, integration and value creation initiatives
- Identify opportunities to improve reporting and financial processes
Ideal candidate:
- Newly qualified ACA, ideally with 1–3 years of Big 4 Transaction Services experience
- Strong financial modelling, analytical and commercial skills
- Exposure to financial due diligence, deal analysis or quality of earnings
- Looking to move away from a purely transaction-focused environment into commercial finance
- Advanced Excel skills and strong attention to detail
- Ambitious, proactive and keen to develop towards a future FP&A Manager role
The opportunity:
A great entry point into the private equity-backed environment for a newly qualified ACA looking to combine their transaction experience with commercial finance, strategic decision-making and long-term career progression.
