Detailed Description From Employer:
Professional Services To £600 a day 3-6 months Leicester (hybrid 1-2 days a week in office) 10021
The Company
Our client is a privately owned group with a diverse portfolio of investments. As a company they are committed to innovation and strive to constantly evolve and truly make a difference. To support an exciting restructure, they require an interim Head of FP&A.
The Role
As Interim Head of FP&A, you'll play a central role in shaping financial strategy, steering performance, and ensuring the business has the insight and control it needs to capitalise on opportunity. The company operates a diverse and active portfolio, with multiple investment streams and a leadership team focused on value creation. They need someone who can hit the ground running, own the planning process, and bring clarity and discipline across forecasting, cashflow, and commercial performance. You'll lead FP&A, driving group-wide cashflow forecasting, investment appraisal, strategic modelling, and performance reporting. Your work will directly influence how capital is deployed, how returns are tracked, and how decisions are made at pace and with confidence. Expect to be embedded at the heart of the investment cycle - analysing spend, advising on project viability, challenging forecasts, and identifying financial risks and upsides early. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants influence, pace, and accountability.
The Candidate
You're a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/ACMA) with a proven interim track record in investment-led or private equity-backed businesses. You've led FP&A functions, owned cashflow forecasting at group level, and worked closely with senior stakeholders to drive strategic and financial outcomes. You're commercially sharp, operationally credible, and able to hold your own in high-value conversations. You bring clarity to complexity - and you're not afraid to challenge assumptions when the numbers don't stack up.
