£75,000 – £85,000 + Bonus

Axon Moore is exclusively partnering with a well-established Manufacturing business in the East Lancashire area to appoint a Head of FP&A into a key role within its finance leadership team.

Reporting directly to the Finance Director, with regular exposure to the CFO, this is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded finance professional to take ownership of the FP&A function, driving greater visibility of business performance and supporting strategic decision-making.

Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business, you will play a pivotal role in providing financial insight, challenging performance and translating complex financial data into meaningful commercial recommendations.

The Role:
*Lead the budgeting, forecasting and long-term financial planning processes.
*Own the production of management reporting, financial analysis and performance dashboards.
*Provide insightful analysis of business performance, identifying trends, risks and opportunities.
*Partner with operational and commercial teams to drive accountability and improve financial performance.
*Develop financial models to support strategic planning, investment decisions and business growth.
*Lead variance analysis, providing clear commentary and recommendations to senior management.
*Drive continuous improvement across FP&A processes, reporting tools and financial systems.
*Support the Finance Director and CFO with strategic projects, business planning and ad hoc analysis.
The Person:
*Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA).
*Proven experience in a senior FP&A or commercial finance position.
*Manufacturing experience would be advantageous.
*Strong financial modelling, forecasting and analytical capabilities.
*Confident communicating financial information to non-finance audiences.
*A proactive individual who enjoys working in a fast-paced, operationally focused environment.

If you’re looking for a role where you can move beyond traditional financial reporting and genuinely influence commercial and operational decision-making, we’d be keen to hear from you.
