Senior Financial Analyst

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
