FP&A Manager

Interim FP&A Manager

• Location: London/South-East (Hybrid/Remote with on-site as needed)
• Duration: 3-6 months (potential extension)
• Rate: £550-£600/day
• Reporting: CFO (closely with incoming FC)

A UK professional services firm, operating from a single office, is seeking an Interim FP&A Manager for hands-on execution of a data remediation project. This role involves recutting messy historic financials into a clean, trusted baseline aligned to a pre-designed multi-practice/multi-department reporting structure. The design is substantially fixed, but there is scope for sensible tweaks where necessary.

Day-to-day of the role:

• Recut 2-3 years' P&L (2 years historic + current year) into the designed structure (practices, departments, allocations, KPIs).
• Re-profile audit adjustments across months for analytic trends.
• Rationalise partner-related items into a clear economic EBITDA view.
• Build full reconciliations: management accounts statutory recut views.
• Document mappings/processes for BAU handover.
• Flag/propose data-constrained tweaks to the newly developed reporting model.
• Utilise systems like Practice Management Systems, Excel, Power BI, and SQL for data handling and reporting.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Must be ACA/ACCA/CIMA-qualified with strong FP&A/commercial finance experience in services.
• Hands-on experience with historic data recuts (cash-to-accruals, partnership distortions ideal).
• Advanced Excel skills; Power BI/SQL is desirable.
• Must have exposure to legal/professional services environments, especially PMS/GL integrations.
• Capable of manager-level autonomy but must be in the detail and someone who shapes solutions and communicates clearly with CFO/FC.

What This Interim Role Offers:

• Competitive day rate or FTC salary depending on experience.
• Opportunity to manage significant financial reporting activities during a critical period.
• Hybrid working and exposure to a dynamic, professional services environment.
• A chance to lead improvements and strengthen financial controls across multiple departments.
