I’m working with a leading global specialty insurer on an interim FP&A appointment with a strong cost focus. The finance function is backing profitable growth and sharpening how it plans, tracks and allocates cost.
What you’ll be doing
- Owning cost-focused FP&A: building clear, reliable views of the expense base and giving the business insight it can act on
- Reviewing allocation methodologies, cost drivers, governance and controls, simplifying them and making them more transparent
- Partnering with finance and business leaders to challenge cost, improve visibility and support better decisions
- Building reporting, reconciliations, allocation models and planning tools, then embedding them
- Finding where automation and AI can improve efficiency, control and the quality of cost insight
- Separating repeatable from judgement-based work, with SOPs, SLAs and training to hand activity to offshore teams
What I’m looking for
- Qualified accountant (or equivalent recognised qualification)
- Strong FP&A experience with a cost and business partnering focus
- Hands-on allocations experience (methodologies, cost drivers, governance and controls) in a commercial, well-established environment
- Experience designing finance processes and operating models
- Offshore or shared service model exposure
- Strong analytical and reconciliation skills, and stakeholder management
- Curiosity and a practical understanding of AI and automation in finance (building agents or AI tools is a plus)
On offer
- 12-month interim contract
- Location: London (Hybrid)
