Finance Business Partner

Finance Business Partner – Global Expansion & FP&A

What is the Job?

This is a rare opportunity to own core FP&A and business partnering at a pivotal stage in our global growth. Operating from our UK headquarters, you will build on the foundations already in place, bringing commercial insight, structure, and ambition to how we plan, forecast, and make decisions across Montu’s European businesses and emerging international markets.

You will be a trusted partner to leaders across Commercial, Marketing, Technology, and the wider business. Crucially, you will act as the dedicated financial bridge between our UK base and local country operations— building, running, and refining local country reporting and forecast models hand-in-hand with local Country Managers and GM-1 stakeholders as we scale into new territories including LATAM, Ireland, Poland, and New Zealand .

Your insight and robust local modelling will directly shape strategic decisions, investment priorities, and market performance at leadership level, ensuring we capture new opportunities while keeping execution errors to a minimum.

What You Will Own

1. Local Country Reporting & Forecasting

Local Model Ownership: Design, build, and run localized financial reporting, budgeting, and forecast models from the UK base for international markets (Brazil, Ireland, Poland, New Zealand).

Partnering with Country Managers: Work directly alongside local Country Managers and GM-1 stakeholders to translate regional market dynamics into accurate financial forecasts, helping them navigate local operational complexities.

Performance Tracking: Monitor local market performance against targets, ensuring regional teams have the analytical visibility required to execute growth plans effectively and minimize error rates.

2. Financial Planning & Modelling

Set the financial planning cadence for expansion regions, owning and continuously evolving the models that underpin scenario planning and three-way modelling.

Lead aspects of the annual budgeting cycle and regular re-forecasts end-to-end, setting a high standard for how the business plans internationally.

Support long-term planning and investment decisions with robust commercial modelling and business case development.

3. Performance, KPIs & Business Partnering

Act as a key commercial partner to functional and regional leads, translating numbers into clear insights and helping hold teams accountable to budgets and OKRs.

Support the Finance GM in defining and tracking vital operational and financial KPIs across expanding markets.

Own monthly reporting and variance analysis, uncovering the story behind the numbers to influence strategic direction.

4. FP&A Collaboration & Cash Flow Governance

Partner closely with the existing FP&A Manager to integrate international country forecasts and expansion targets into the core group financial model.

Co-own elements of three-way financial modelling (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow), ensuring robust cash flow forecasting and working capital management across expanding entities.

Monitor business plan execution with other departments.

5. Tooling, Data & Continuous Improvement

Collaborate with the Data & Analytics team to automate reporting and improve the quality, speed, and accessibility of financial data across regions.

Bring a continuous improvement mindset—spotting opportunities for better process, tooling, and reporting before they become bottlenecks.
