Senior Analyst, FP&A

📍 Shoreham-by-Sea Hybrid (2–3 days in office)

💰 Up to £60,000 + discretionary bonus

Shape the numbers that shape the strategy.

Focus Group is a £300m-revenue, 1,300-person technology services company backed by Hg Capital — and following our $1bn valuation in 2024, we're scaling fast. As we grow through acquisition and investment, our FP&A function sits at the very heart of how we make decisions. This is a rare opportunity to join that team.

Reporting directly to the Group's Director of FP&A, you'll be a key voice in the room — partnering with our Executive Leadership Team and Private Equity owners to deliver the financial insight that drives performance.

What you'll be doing

You'll take real ownership from day one. That means running budgeting, forecasting and management reporting cycles, building scenario models to support strategic planning, and keeping a sharp eye on KPIs across the business. You'll also play an important role in our M&A agenda — helping assess and track the performance of acquired businesses against their investment case.

This isn't a back-office role. You'll be answering investor queries, influencing senior leaders, and helping to continuously raise the bar on our analytical tools and processes.

What we're looking for

You'll be partly qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) and bring solid experience in financial analysis, modelling or a related field — ideally with a background in transaction services, strategy consulting or M&A. You're fluent in P&L analysis, cash flow dynamics and working capital, and you know your way around a complex Excel model.

Beyond the technical skills, you're naturally curious, detail-obsessed, and comfortable working with stakeholders at every level. A degree in Finance, Accounting, Business or similar is preferred, and experience with Power BI or equivalent tools would be a bonus.

Why Focus Group?

We're at an exciting inflection point — a £300m business with the energy and ambition of a scale-up. You'll get genuine exposure to Private Equity, M&A activity and executive-level decision making, all within a collaborative finance team that's investing in both its people and its tools.
