  • Ensure that all routine management information is generated promptly and contains reliable data agreed upon by key stakeholders.
  • Produce regular financial reports that summarize business and financial performance, providing detailed commentary and highlighting trends, key actions, and their impact on strategy.
  • Foster strong relationships with internal stakeholders to ensure the Finance Department is well-informed and maintains robust connections with operational leaders.
  • Develop, implement, and sustain an effective planning and analysis capability that equips senior leaders with analytical tools to monitor the performance of the Group's products and services across all divisions.
  • Oversee the end-to-end delivery of financial forecasting processes, including communication, timelines, and data requirements.
  • Deliver comprehensive quarterly financial reforecasts for use by Business Partners, senior management, and the Board.
  • Utilize financial models and trend analyses to inform decision-making and communicate relevant insights across the organization.
  • Create professional reports and presentations that summarize forecasts for senior management and the Board.
  • Collaborate with the data team to transform data into actionable insights for informed decision-making.
  • Assist in the development of ad hoc financial models and analyses to support strategic initiatives and business cases.
  • Lead scenario modeling efforts to evaluate risks and facilitate decision-making.
  • Manage the FP&A team, including recruitment, development, performance management, and task delegation.
  • Actively contribute to departmental plans and priorities.
  • Identify, nurture, and retain future talent to support business growth.

Required Skills:

  • A qualified accountant.
  • Previous experience in Finance Business Partnering.
  • Confidence in engaging with senior stakeholders.
  • Excellent verbal communication skills.
  • Strong organizational abilities.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel.
  • Solid understanding of effective accounting systems.
