FP&A Manager

Not all FP&A roles are created equal. This one comes with real scope.


We're recruiting an FP&A Manager for an established gaming company with an international footprint and a portfolio of titles spanning multiple markets. Finance here means more than month-end — it means owning complex royalty reporting across 20+ publishing relationships, producing insight that shapes commercial strategy, and partnering directly with the Head of Finance on forecasting and planning. Fully remote, outside IR35, and open to candidates across the UK.

What will the FP&A Manager role involve?

• Provide commentary and analysis within the monthly reporting pack, delivering financial insight to senior stakeholders across a fast-moving, commercially driven business.
• Deep-dive analysis of sales data by title, territory, and channel — translating numbers into a clear narrative on performance and market opportunity.
• End-to-end management of royalty reporting for a portfolio of approximately 20 external publishing partners, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and strong relationship management.
• Working closely with the Head of Finance on cash flow forecasting and financial planning, providing commentary and analysis to support strategic decision-making.
• Driving continuous improvement across reporting processes and systems — this is a role where your ideas will be heard and implemented.
• Acting as a key commercial finance contact internally, supporting the wider business with data-driven insight on existing titles and future opportunities.

Suitable Candidate for the FP&A Manager vacancy:

• This role will suit a qualified finance professional (CIMA/ACCA/ACA/QBE) with a background in gaming, interactive entertainment, publishing, TV, or media — or any sector where royalty reporting and multi-partner commercial relationships are central to the finance function.
• Proven experience in royalty reporting and/or managing external partner financial relationships — this is non-negotiable for the role.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to turn complex data sets into clear, actionable reporting for a non-finance audience.
• Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with financial systems; experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) is a significant advantage.
• A self-starter who thrives in a remote environment
• Commercially curious — interested in what the numbers mean, not just what they say.
• We're open to experienced FP&A professionals ready for a step up, as well as commercially sharp Management Accountants with strong analytical instincts who are looking to broaden their remit.

Candidates must be based in the UK and hold the right to work without restriction. Applications are welcome from any UK location.

Additional benefits and information for the role of FP&A Manager:

• Outside IR35 — Engaged as a contractor via monthly rolling contract, giving you flexibility and control.
• Unlimited paid holiday — take the time you need, when you need it.
• Fully remote working — no daily commute, genuine flexibility over how and where you work.
• Occasional travel only — London every couple of months, Southampton roughly once a quarter.
• A genuinely interesting sector — working at the intersection of finance and the global games industry, with real commercial exposure.
• Autonomy and influence — this is not a back-office role. You will be visible, valued, and making a direct impact from day one.
• Salary is dependent on experience.
