The role
BSS, part of Travis Perkins plc, are now hiring for an exceptional Financial Planning and Analysis Manager to join our finance team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our business.
This is far more than a traditional financial reporting role. You'll be a trusted advisor to directors, a key driver of profit improving activity and an essential partner to leadership across a complex multi-site group. If you are a strategic technology minded accountant who loves turning complex data into clear insights, driving budgeting cycles and collaborating across departments to eliminate inefficiencies, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll do
Reporting & Automation: Owning and generating simple, automated reports designed to be easily understood and distributed across the business.
Forward-Looking Insight: Controlling business-wide data distribution with a keen eye on future Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities.
Budget Leadership: Leading the entire budget process to ensure a smooth, simple and effective cycle for all budget owners.
Variance Analysis: Comparing actual financial results against targets to identify, investigate and explain performance gaps.
Dashboard Design: Translating complex data into clear, interactive dashboards and KPI reports for executive leadership and the Board.
Investment Evaluation: Evaluating the financial viability of major capital investments and new strategic business projects.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partnering across multiple departments to help non-finance teams optimise their commercial and financial decisions.
Profitability & Cashflow: Analysing profit margins and cost structures to eliminate inefficiencies, boost profitability and project long term cashflow requirements.
Regional Advisory: Attending regional director meetings to advise directly on financial performance and strategic focus areas.
The Opportunity
As Financial Planning and Analysis Manager, reporting into the Head of Finance, you will lead all aspects of our forecasting, budgeting, and commercial performance analysis across BSS UK and Ireland.
You will hold a standalone, highly collaborative position designed to support our business units with reporting improvements and margin-boosting insights. In this role, you will act as a key liaison for non-finance teams and regional leadership, ensuring the business has the clear, automated and forward looking data needed to optimise financial decisions.
Hybrid Working:
You will be expected to join the team and visit our BSS Coventry office twice a week.
From Janaury 2027 this will be an expectation of 3 days per week.
