Join us as an FP&A Manager
(12-month fixed-term contract)
Want to do work that really matters?
At Checkatrade, we’re building the UK’s go-to home improvement marketplace. Every day, we help millions of homeowners find the right tradesperson for the job, fast, fair, and without the faff.
As our next FP&A Manager, you’ll help steer the business through a period of big growth and change. This 12-month fixed-term role is all about supporting day-to-day forecasting and planning while we roll out new systems and tools. You’ll work closely with our Head of FP&A and permanent team, giving them the space to focus on transformation while you keep the engine running.
Forget long lists, here’s what you’ll actually spend your time on:
Owning forecasting and planning cycles that support decision-making across the business
Spotting opportunities to improve how we budget, plan, and report, from annual cycles to 5-year strategy
Collaborating cross-functionally to strengthen our systems, tools and ways of working
Making financial reporting clearer and more useful, helping teams feel confident in the numbers
It’s not about ticking every box. It’s about turning up curious, ready to crack on. You’ll do well here if you bring:
Experience working across accounting, reporting and financial planning in a fast-paced business
Strong commercial and analytical acumen with a knack for turning data into insight
A collaborative, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude and confidence working with senior stakeholders
A self-starting mindset, someone who spots opportunities, solves problems, and gets things moving
We believe great work deserves great rewards. Here’s just a taste:
Competitive salary
Health, well-being and learning support
Gym membership, Smart Tech Scheme and Cycle Scheme
Birthday/Special day leave
Buy & sell holiday scheme
1 week’s paid charity leave and much more!
How we’ll get to know each other:
Screening call with one of our Talent Acquisition Partners
1st stage interview with our Head of FP&A
2nd stage interview will be a case study with our FP&A Manager, Director of Corporate Finance and Head of FP&A
If you require any reasonable adjustments during our interview process, please discuss them with your Talent Acquisition Partner.
If this sounds like the place where you can do your best work, we’d love to hear from you, even if you don’t tick every box
