FP&A Analyst - South Leeds - Part or Fully Qualified - #2149271

Have you been looking to join an F&A function in a newly created role, rather than inherit someone else's?

No backlog. No legacy processes. No baggage..

Just a blank page and the opportunity to shape how finance operates for years to come.

This PE-backed UK market leader which has doubled in size in 3 years and now targeting £1bn turnover, has never had a dedicated FP&A function.

Until now.

The CFO and Director of FP&A have built one from ground up, and they've already assembled some of the best talent in the market... a sharp, ambitious team that's already making an impact.

I am now recruiting the final piece of the puzzle.. an FP&A Analyst to complete what's fast becoming the strongest finance function in Leeds!

You'll join a team of 4, reporting into the Senior FP&A Business Partner, right at the centre of the business, owning budgeting, forecasting, performance monitoring, and the insight that shapes real strategic decisions.

If you are part or fully qualified (ACA/ACCA/CIMA), confident with Excel and financial modelling, comfortable with BI tools (Power BI/Tableau/SQL) and not afraid to challenge and influence with data - this is one for you.

Some of the key duties of this role will include:

• Support the delivery of the annual budget, quarterly forecasts, and long-range plans
• Develop financial models to evaluate operational scenarios, cost-saving initiatives, and strategic investments.
• Produce regular financial performance reports, highlighting variances, trends, risks, and opportunities.
• Undertake detailed analysis of P&Ls, labour costs, throughput, and operational KPIs.
• Identify inefficiencies and recommend actionable improvements to support margin and service improvements.
• Provide robust insight to support pricing, contracting, and commercial decision-making where relevant.
• Present analysis and recommendations to both financial and non-financial stakeholders.
• Translate complex data into clear, meaningful insight for operational decision-makers.
• Develop dashboards, reporting tools, and KPIs to improve visibility of performance

The exposure here is career defining, a direct line of sight to senior leadership, and a genuine, clear and structured progression path as the team continues to grow!
