Head of Financial Planning Analysis

Head of Financial Planning & Analysis | PE-Backed B2B Commercial Platform We're partnering with a fast-growing, PE-backed business operating across multiple B2B commercial platforms, to find their first Head of FP&A. This is a newly created role reporting directly into the CFO, with a clear mandate: architect a modern, data-first FP&A capability that becomes the single source of truth for the business. What you'll be doing:

• Owning short, medium, and long-term forecasting, budgeting, and scenario modelling across multiple business lines
• Designing the data architecture and taxonomy that underpins FP&A, bringing data from across the business into one unified framework
• Building executive dashboards and self-service reporting tools for the leadership team and board
• Business partnering with commercial and operational leadership to translate performance into forecasts and insight
• Establishing data governance, validation, and reconciliation processes across all data sources What we're looking for:
• FP&A or commercial finance experience, ideally within a high-growth, tech-enabled business
• PE-backed environment experience, comfortable engaging directly with investors and translating financial performance for them
• A track record of building forecasting models and planning processes in data-driven organisations
• Strong data capability: experience with data architecture, aggregation, and dashboarding tools (Power BI, Tableau, or Looker)
• A proactive, first-principles approach to building systems and processes, not just running existing ones This is a genuine opportunity to shape a finance function from scratch inside a scaling, PE-backed business, and to turn FP&A from a reporting function into a strategic capability, one where the numbers are trusted, not argued over.
