Interim Head of FP&A

£700 - £900 per day

Cedar is partnered with a private equity–backed technology and services business in Central London to appoint an Interim Head of FP&A. This is a 6–month contract offering a day rate of GBP700–900 per day.

The Company

This established PE–backed business has undergone significant growth during the investment period and is now approaching a potential exit.

With the business entering the final stages of the private equity hold, the focus is on maintaining strong performance, maximising value and ensuring the financial plan and underlying equity story stand up to transaction scrutiny.

The Role

Reporting directly to the CFO, the Interim Head of FP&A will be the senior FP&A lead through the exit process, owning forecasting, modelling, MI and the financial analysis underpinning the transaction.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Owning the forecast, budget and long–range plan through the exit process.
  • Building and maintaining robust financial models supporting the equity story, valuation and buyer diligence.
  • Developing clear bridges between historic performance, current trading, forecast and the longer–term plan.
  • Providing detailed analysis of revenue, EBITDA, margin, cash and other key value drivers.
  • Strengthening MI and KPI reporting to clearly demonstrate underlying commercial performance.
  • Producing scenario and sensitivity analysis around growth, pricing, margins, investment and other key assumptions.
  • Supporting the CFO with Quality of Earnings, vendor due diligence and buyer requests.
  • Providing detailed analysis and supporting evidence for the data room and transaction advisers.
  • Driving forecasting accuracy and maintaining clear visibility over risks and opportunities.
  • Partnering with commercial and operational teams to ensure assumptions are robust, understood and defensible.
  • Supporting Board and PE investor reporting throughout the transaction.

Your Profile

  • Experienced Head of FP&A / FP&A Director operating at CFO–1 level.
  • Strong private equity–backed business experience, ideally through an exit or transaction.
  • Exceptional financial modelling, forecasting and analytical capability.
  • Experience building and defending long–range plans and transaction models.
  • Strong commercial understanding of revenue, EBITDA, cash and enterprise value drivers.
  • Experience supporting vendor due diligence, Quality of Earnings or buyer diligence.
  • Comfortable working directly with CFOs, PE investors and transaction advisers.
  • Technology, software, data or B2B services experience would be advantageous.
  • ACA, CIMA or equivalent qualification preferred.

Compensation & Working Arrangements

The day rate for this Interim Head of FP&A role is GBP700–900 per day.

The role is based in London, with hybrid working typically requiring 2–3 days per week in Central London.

This is a senior, hands–on FP&A mandate with significant exposure to the CFO, private equity investor and wider exit process.
