Senior FP&A and Reporting Accountant (Full Work From Home)

Our client is a growing business of around 100–125 people, supported by a lean finance function. This is a hands-on, build-oriented role for someone who is comfortable creating from the ground up, establishing models, reporting, and processes where they do not yet exist, rather than simply maintaining existing frameworks. You will turn complex datasets into robust Excel models and bring reporting to life through Power BI dashboards that provide clear, actionable insights for the client’s leadership team. Working closely with the wider finance team and non-finance stakeholders across the organisation, you will need to communicate financial information clearly and confidently. With a small team structure, you will gain broad exposure and take on meaningful ownership early in the role. Key Responsibilities

Reporting and month-end

• Prepare monthly management accounts and KPI reporting, ensuring accuracy, consistency and on-time delivery.
• Support the month-end close, including relevant accruals, journals and reconciliations, in partnership with the accounting/controllership team.
• Produce variance analysis (actual vs. budget vs. forecast vs. prior year), clearly explaining the drivers behind movements. Planning and analysis
• Own and maintain the Excel-based budgeting and forecasting models, supporting the annual budget process and periodic reforecasts.
• Maintain and continue to improve the Excel-based three-way model (integrated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow), keeping it accurate, internally consistent and a reliable basis for forecasting and cash planning.
• Build and maintain financial models for forecasting, scenario planning and sensitivity analysis, keeping them well-structured, documented and easy to roll forward.
• Manage group/multi-entity consolidation and consolidated reporting in Syft Analytics, ensuring outputs reconcile to the underlying Xero data.
• Deliver ad-hoc financial analysis and decision-support for management, including pricing, cost and ROI analysis where required. Dashboards and automation
• Maintain and enhance our existing BI reporting, and build new Power BI dashboards that give clear, real-time insight into financial and operational performance.
• Use Power BI to model data and connect to source systems (Xero, Excel, data warehouse).
• Continuously improve and automate reporting processes to reduce manual effort and improve data reliability. Business partnering
• Act as a finance point of contact for assigned business areas, translating financial data into clear, actionable insight for non-finance stakeholders.
• Work cross-functionally to ensure the accuracy and integrity of financial and operational data. What We're Looking For
