FP&A Manager - Commercial Finance

£70K - £80K plus bonus

London

Are you an ambitious FP&A professional looking for more than just a forecasting and reporting role?

Do you want genuine exposure to senior leadership, the freedom to challenge the business and a clear route towards broader finance leadership?

I am working with a complex, growing organisation looking for an ambitious FP&A Manager. You'll work directly with senior leaders, take ownership of major planning and commercial initiatives, and play a visible role in shaping decisions across a complex, multi-site business. For someone with the ambition to broaden their influence and build towards finance senior leadership roles, this offers significantly more than a traditional FP&A Manager position.

What you'll be doing:

Leading budgeting, reforecasting and financial planning across multiple entities and operational units. Analysing revenue, volume, labour, headcount and operational performance to identify trends and opportunities. Turning complex or loosely defined business problems into structured financial analysis and practical recommendations. Challenging operational and senior stakeholders on performance, assumptions and proposed actions. Reviewing Capex and Opex business cases, including payback, investment assumptions and benefit realisation. Identifying and tracking cost-saving and revenue-generating initiatives. Supporting senior management and Board-level reporting, including presenting the financial story behind performance. Building and improving financial models covering areas such as revenue, labour, headcount and cash flow. Working closely with Operations, Procurement, Transactional Finance and Financial Accounting. Supporting strategic and ad-hoc commercial projects. Improving FP&A processes, systems and automation.

What we're looking for:

We're looking for a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with strong experience across FP&A, commercial finance or finance business partnering.

You should be able to understand a commercial problem, work through the underlying data, form a view and confidently present your recommendations.

You'll ideally bring:

Strong FP&A experience across budgeting, forecasting and performance analysis. Excellent commercial and business partnering capability. Strong Excel and financial modelling skills. Experience working with operational and commercial stakeholders. The confidence to challenge assumptions and hold stakeholders accountable. Excellent presentation and communication skills. The ability to explain complex financial concepts in straightforward language. Experience within a high-volume, operational or multi-site organisation. A strong interest in finance systems, automation and improving ways of working.

Why consider this role?

This is a particularly strong opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond traditional FP&A production and become a genuine commercial finance leader.

You'll join an established finance function with strong accounting and FP&A support around you, giving you the opportunity to focus on higher-value work: challenging the business, improving forecasting, solving commercial problems and influencing senior decision-making.

This role offers:

Significant exposure to senior leadership. Close working relationship with the Head of Finance. Genuine influence across operational decision-making. Ownership of major UK planning and forecasting activity. Exposure to strategic projects and investment decisions. Opportunity to modernise FP&A processes and systems. Strong longer-term progression potential.Modis International Ltd acts as an employment agency for permanent recruitment and an employment business for the supply of temporary workers in the UK.
