Harper May is working with a London-based financial services firm managing assets across investment and wealth management. Founded in 2008 and backed by a strategic investor, the business has grown steadily to around 150 staff and £2bn in AUM. Over the past eighteen months, the firm has expanded its distribution capability and raised a new institutional fund, which has put pressure on the current finance team to handle more complex allocations and reporting. They are now seeking an FP&A Manager to strengthen planning and analysis capability across both business lines. \n The Role \n Reporting to the Finance Director, you will own the monthly and quarterly planning cycle, build multi-year financial models for the business, and deliver performance insight to board and senior leadership. The role is newly created and sits at the heart of strategic decision-making, giving you direct exposure to fund launches, acquisition evaluation, and cost management initiatives. \n Key Responsibilities \n\n • Develop and own the annual budget and rolling forecast, liaising with all business units\n, • Build financial models for scenario planning, new product evaluation, and business case assessment\n, • Produce monthly management accounts with clear variance reporting and commentary\n, • Analyse revenue streams, fund performance, and operating cost drivers to support strategic choices\n, • Prepare board-level financial dashboards and supporting analysis\n, • Automate and improve FP&A processes to reduce manual work and increase reporting speed\n, • Work with senior stakeholders to translate financial data into clear business insight\n\n What we are looking for \n\n • ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified (or equivalent professional qualification)\n, • Four to six years of FP&A or commercial finance experience, ideally in financial services or asset management\n, • Proficiency in Excel and financial modelling; comfortable with ERP systems\n, • Ability to communicate complex financial concepts clearly to non-financial audiences\n, • Proactive problem-solver with strong attention to detail and ownership mindset\n, • Experience working in a regulated or compliance-conscious environment\n

Group Treasury Manager \n \n \n Build the treasury function, don't just run it. \n A rapidly growing, PE-backed group seek a Group Treasury Manager to take genuine ownership of cash, debt and banking as they grow. This isn't a mature, static function you'll inherit and maintain. It's an active, hands-on treasury agenda with multiple funding lines, a fast-moving cash position, and a steady flow of acquisitions to integrate. If you want to build and own processes rather than police someone else's, this is your role. \n Reporting to the Group Financial Controller and with a Treasury Analyst reporting to you, you'll be at the centre of how the Group funds its growth and puts its cash to work. \n What you'll do \n You'll own the Group's rolling 12-month integrated cash flow forecast — consolidating inputs from across the business, working directly with finance and non-finance colleagues to sense-check and challenge the numbers, and continually sharpening forecast accuracy. You'll manage the Group's debt facilities day to day, act as the primary contact for our banking relationships, and lead the drive to rationalise and simplify banking structures as we scale. \n There's a real commercial edge to the role: you'll take ownership of optimising interest income on surplus cash — through fixed-term deposits, sweep structures and smart movement of cash between entities — always balanced against liquidity needs and risk appetite. You'll monitor interest rate risk on our debt and support hedging decisions (caps, swaps) with senior finance and external advisers. \n And because growth is the story here, you'll model the cash flow, liquidity and covenant impact of acquisitions in the pipeline, partner on funding requirements, and lead the treasury integration of completed deals — banking, cash visibility, payment controls and forecasting, all folded cleanly into the Group. \n What you'll bring \n You're a pragmatic, commercially minded self-starter who's comfortable building forecasting tools and processes from scratch in a lean team. You'll bring 5+ years of treasury/cash management experience with a clear focus on debt management and cash flow forecasting — ideally from a multi-entity or PE-backed environment — and you're a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or ACT-qualified (AMCT). \n You'll have hands-on experience with banking partners and lenders, optimising deposit returns, managing interest rate risk and hedging, and covenant compliance and reporting. Advanced Excel and financial modelling are second nature, and you can explain a treasury position as clearly to a non-finance operator as to the board. Experience of treasury or cash flow forecasting systems is important (familiarity with Agicap is a bonus, not a must). \n Why this role \n You'll get scope, ownership and visibility that's hard to find in a larger, more established treasury team — the chance to shape how a growing group manages its cash and funding, with a direct line to senior leadership and a front-row seat on the M&A that's driving it all.

Senior Finance Manager | PE-Backed Multi-Site Scaleup | London / Hybrid \n \n Harmonic are delighted to be partnering with a PE-backed, founder-led membership scaleup built for the creative industries in their search for a Senior Finance Manager. \n \n The Client \n \n The business gives its members access to world-class creative and workspace facilities on flexible terms. It has grown from a single London site to a profitable multi-site estate with a fast-growing member base, and has recently completed a significant private equity investment alongside backing from a group of institutional investors and well-known operators from the workspace and creative worlds. \n \n Further openings are already in the pipeline, with a rollout plan behind them and a long-term plan to build towards an exit. \n \n Finance has been handled to date by an outsourced accounting team and a fractional CFO. This is the first senior finance hire the business has made in-house. \n \n The Role \n \n Reporting directly to the CEO and Co-Founder, the Senior Finance Manager will be the source of truth for the business - the person the leadership team, the board and the investors turn to for a clear and current picture of performance. \n \n At the centre of the role sits the company financial model, including the multi-site expansion model. It is rebuilt monthly and it is how the business decides where and how it grows. Around it you will own cash flow, the budgeting and reforecasting cycle, the monthly reporting pack and the board pack, and build the commercial insight that explains what the numbers are telling the business. \n \n You will not inherit a finished finance function. You will design it: the processes, the systems, the reporting, and in time the team beneath you. There is real appetite for an AI-first approach, so there is scope to automate workflows and build a best in class function. \n \n As the estate grows and the finance function grows with it, there is a path to Finance Director, alongside meaningful equity in a business being built for a significant exit. \n \n Key Responsibilities \n\n • Own and maintain the company financial model, including the multi-site expansion model, refreshing and re-baselining it monthly so it remains the version the board and investors make decisions from\n, • Own the rolling cash flow forecast: monitor liquidity, flag risk early, and run scenario and sensitivity analysis with the CEO to support decisions on new sites, capex and growth\n, • Run the budgeting and reforecasting cycle end to end: set and own the timetable, coordinate inputs from department and site leads, consolidate into the company budget, then track actuals and hold budget holders to their numbers\n, • Take draft management accounts from the outsourced accountants and refine, challenge and quality-check them into a clear monthly pack (P&L, balance sheet and cash flow) with variance analysis against budget and prior period\n, • Build the board pack and act as the finance point of contact for the board and private equity investor, producing investor-ready reporting and commentary that holds up to scrutiny\n, • Develop the reporting around the real drivers of the business, including utilisation, member acquisition and churn, and site-level unit economics, and bring a point of view to commercial decisions from pricing to new sites\n, • Take ultimate accountability for statutory and administrative compliance (year end accounts, VAT, EMI filings), managing the outsourced accounting firm to deadline, and own credit control in-house to keep debtor days low\n, • Build a modern, AI-first finance function: automate repetitive work, improve systems, and pull operational, accounting and CRM data into one reliable picture of the business\n\n \n Essential Experience \n\n • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA)\n, • Proven experience as a Finance Manager or Financial Controller in an SME, scale-up or multi-site business, having genuinely owned the function rather than a slice of it\n, • Track record of improving finance systems and processes, with a genuine appetite for AI and automation.\n, • Strong financial modelling and cash flow forecasting skills, with real fluency in Excel or Sheets. You have built and maintained a model that a board actually made decisions on\n, • Experience owning a budgeting and reforecasting cycle, including holding non-finance budget holders accountable to it\n, • Exceptional attention to detail\n\n \n Desirable Experience \n\n • Experience in a multi-site, bricks-and-mortar rollout business: hospitality, leisure, gyms, coffee, hotels, retail or flexible workspace\n, • Exposure to a private equity or institutionally backed business, including board and investor reporting\n, • Experience of physical expansion, site investment or capex planning\n, • Genuine interest in the media, music, film, or advertising space\n\n \n Package \n Salary: £75,000 - £85,000 + equity \n Location: London (2-3 days in office) \n Start Date: Flexible (ASAP ideal) \n At Harmonic, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace. We actively welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and assure you that every candidate will be thoughtfully considered for the roles we represent, without regard to race, religion, gender expression, disability, or sexual orientation.
