This is one of the most exciting scale-up opportunities we've worked on. I think its a game changer role – the potential and scope is on another level! When you see the journey they have been on so far you will see what we mean! Just review the spec!!
We're partnering with an incredibly ambitious, well-funded business that's on a mission to build something genuinely special. They've secured record levels of investment, have an exceptional leadership team and are targeting £100m revenue within the next three years.
This isn't a business standing still. It's scaling rapidly through acquisitions, investing heavily in technology and AI, and building a world-class leadership team. The people behind this business have played key roles in scaling some of the world's most iconic brands. They know what great looks like, and this is just the start of the journey.
We're looking for an exceptional Head of FP&A to build and lead the FP&A and Commercial Finance function.
This is a genuine opportunity to create something, influence strategy and have a huge impact on the future of the business.
The Role
Reporting to the Finance Director, you'll build and lead the FP&A and Commercial Finance function, helping shape how the business makes decisions as it continues its rapid growth journey.
You'll be responsible for:
- Building the FP&A and Commercial Finance capability from the ground up.
- Leading budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning across the Group.
- Developing commercial models, scenario planning and strategic financial analysis.
- Business partnering with the Executive Team and operational leaders to improve commercial performance.
- Producing board packs, KPI dashboards and insightful management reporting.
- Supporting investor reporting, fundraising and strategic finance projects.
- Tracking acquisition performance, synergies and post-acquisition integration.
- Owning cashflow forecasting and supporting funding and growth plans.
- Providing strategic financial insight to support investment, pricing and commercial decision-making.
- Driving improvements in finance systems, reporting capability and data quality.
- Leveraging AI, automation and technology to improve reporting, forecasting and business insight.
- Acting as a trusted commercial partner to the Finance Director and wider leadership team.
About You
We're looking for someone exceptionally bright, commercially curious and ambitious.
You'll probably be:
- A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with an excellent academic background.
- Someone who has built or significantly developed an FP&A or Commercial Finance function.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and thriving in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- A confident business partner who enjoys influencing senior stakeholders and challenging the status quo.
- Able to demonstrate genuine impact throughout a progressive career, whether that's in a £20m, £100m or £500m business. Growth mindset and commercial impact matter far more than company size.
Experience within SaaS, technology or another high-growth environment would be advantageous, but not essential. We'd also love to hear from people with multi-site experience across sectors such as retail, property, leisure or hospitality, where commercial performance, operational insight and data-driven decision making are critical.
Why Join?
This is a rare opportunity to build a function from the ground up in one of the UK's most exciting growth businesses.
You'll work alongside an exceptional leadership team, have genuine autonomy, influence key strategic decisions and play a major role in the journey towards £100m revenue and beyond.
If you enjoy pace, ownership, ambiguity and making a real commercial impact, this is a business where you'll thrive.
