Finance Analyst - Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) | 12-Month Fixed Term Contract

Location: Birmingham (Hybrid - 3 days office, 2 days remote)
Salary: £40,000 + benefits
Hours: 35 hours per week
Industry: Professional Membership Body / Built Environment
Organisation size: Global not-for-profit, c. 140,000 members across international markets

TechNET IT has partnered with a prestigious global professional membership body, shaping the built and natural environment sector worldwide, to recruit an experienced Finance Analyst for their Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) team.

This is a highly visible role with strong business partnering elements, offering fantastic exposure across senior stakeholders up to Exec level, within a collaborative and evolving Finance function.

Although initially offered as a 12-month FTC (maternity cover), there is genuine potential for longer-term opportunities, as Finance is going through positive change and restructuring.

Role Overview

In this role you will split your time across:
☑️ 60% business partnering & stakeholder reporting
☑️ 40% month-end, FP&A cycles & data analysis

You'll support the creation of monthly P&L positions, lead the reporting and presentation of financial results to key stakeholders, and partner with budget owners and Execs to explain performance, variances, and future trends.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and deliver clear, insightful monthly reporting packs for c. 12-13 key stakeholders, ranging from budget owners (Heads of) to Executive Board members.

• Present and explain variances confidently in stakeholder meetings (approx. 2-slide summaries per stakeholder area).

• Act as a trusted business partner, helping non-finance audiences understand financial drivers and performance trends.

• Support month-end close processes, including preparing journals, validating entries, analysing data, and contributing to final P&L positions (working closely with the Financial Accounting team post day 4 close).

• Build and maintain robust financial models to support scenario planning, forecasting, and budgeting cycles.

• Drive continuous improvement of reporting, with a current transition towards enhanced Power BI-based reporting.

• Work with Microsoft D365 (core ledger system) and Excel for data extraction, manipulation, and reporting.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experienced FP&A Analyst or Finance Analyst with prior exposure to full month-end cycles, reporting, and stakeholder engagement.

• Strong business partnering experience — able to tell the story behind the numbers, not just analyse data.

• Confident communicator — comfortable presenting to budget owners and Execs in Teams meetings.

• Strong Excel skills (essential); Power BI experience highly desirable (transition to Power BI reporting underway).

• Familiarity with Microsoft D365 an advantage.

• Degree qualified in Finance, Accounting or related discipline; ideally studying or part-qualified CIMA / ACCA.

• Pragmatic, collaborative, and adaptable — this is a global organisation but not a highly complex matrix; FP&A needs strong attention to detail and hands-on approach.

Working Environment & Culture

• Hybrid working: 3 days in Birmingham office (anchor days: Monday & Thursday; 3rd day flexible).

• Supportive, down-to-earth Finance team with strong respect for work/life balance (35-hour week, no culture of long hours).

• Exposure to strategic Finance conversations with senior leadership.

• Potential for permanent opportunities due to upcoming team restructuring.
