Are you an FP&A professional who enjoys being close to the detail, working with large datasets and turning complex financial information into clear commercial insight?
A major international multi-site FMCG operator is looking for a Senior FP&A Analyst to join its London-based Group Finance team.
Operating across a large, multi-site international footprint, this is a complex and fast-moving business with a broad portfolio of customer-facing outlets. The role sits at the heart of Group FP&A, working closely with divisional and country finance teams to support reporting, planning, forecasting and senior decision-making.
This is a good opportunity for someone who wants genuine exposure to Group-level reporting and senior stakeholders, while joining at a time of change. The business is implementing a new consolidation tool, creating plenty of opportunity to improve reporting, data flows and finance processes.
What will you be doing?
- Owning monthly flash reporting and supporting monthly period and board reporting
- Producing variance analysis against budget and forecast, identifying key drivers, risks and opportunities
- Managing sales, weekly trading and cash flow reporting
- Supporting group budgeting and rolling forecasting cycles, reviewing submissions and challenging assumptions
- Business partnering group, divisional and country finance teams to turn data into clear commercial insight
- Delivering ad hoc analysis, commentary and recommendations for senior finance stakeholders
- Supporting reporting-system improvements, including a new consolidation platform implementation
- Improving reporting processes, data integrity and controls while reducing manual effort
What would we love to see from you?
- ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified OR nearly qualified or actively studying towards qualification
- Strong FP&A grounding across management reporting, budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis
- Experience in a complex, multi-site, international or consumer-facing environment
- Strong Excel and financial modelling skills, with confidence handling large datasets
- Good understanding of P&L, cash flow, sales and operational performance
- Group, consolidation or multi-entity reporting exposure beneficial, but not essential
- Confident communicator, able to challenge assumptions and translate analysis into clear stakeholder insight
- Accurate, proactive and comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-moving environment
