FP&A Manager – About The Role

In the role of FP&A Manager, you will oversee the FP&A and reporting process, providing insights and strategic support to stakeholders and the management team. This position will involve working with large datasets.

Key responsibilities will include enhancing the current financial model to support forecasting and budgeting efforts, which will encompass monthly, quarterly, and long-range forecasts extending up to 10 years. Specific duties will include:

• Preparing monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports that offer insights into fund performance, highlighting trends, variances, and key financial metrics.
• Leading the development of forecasts and budgets in alignment with the strategic objectives of the funds.
• Developing and maintaining financial models to assess the performance of each fund, including key performance indicators (KPIs) and financial metrics.
• Collaborating with senior leadership, fund managers, and internal teams to convey findings and recommendations based on financial analysis

In addition to portfolio analysis, performance management, and reporting, the role will also involve analysing demographics, including diversity and inclusion assessments of the target market, as well as evaluating the opportunities generated by the investment fund for the local community.

This position is ideal for individuals who enjoy exploring data while actively engaging with stakeholders and management. You will be responsible for re-modelling group-based information and breaking it down by each investment portfolio.
