We're seeking an experienced and commercially astute FP&A Manager to join our dynamic and fast-paced business. This is a pivotal role that will partner closely with the CFO and key operational leaders to drive business performance through insightful analysis, robust financial modelling, and the roll-out of cutting-edge BI tools.

As the FP&A Manager, you will lead the financial planning, forecasting, and reporting functions across the group and joint venture entities, while also supporting investment decision-making through detailed feasibility analysis. You'll play a key role in championing our new BI platform (Phocas), helping us transition from manual reporting to automated, data-driven insights.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead budgeting and forecasting across all venues using a 3-way model (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) - transitioning from Excel to Phocas/Q-Insights.
• Produce detailed feasibility and investment analysis using IRR and other key performance metrics.
• Monitor and report on bank covenants (ICR/LVR) and support funding requests and reporting.
• Deliver timely and accurate financial reports and insights across Group companies and JV partners using tools such as Excel, Phocas, NetSuite, and Tanda Payroll.
• Eliminate manual reporting by consolidating data into a central BI platform, streamlining weekly and monthly reporting processes.
• Ensure data accuracy and consistency across all financial and reporting systems.
• Contribute to monthly Board reports and rolling forecasts with actionable commentary.
• Build strong business partnerships with Venue Licensees, Executive Chefs, and the wider Leadership Team to support strategic decision-making.
• Design and implement tailored KPIs to enhance performance monitoring across the group.
• Provide ad-hoc support during month-end close and analysis as required.

What You Bring:

• 2+ years' experience in Financial Modelling and Investment Analysis within a multi-site environment - ideally in Hospitality, Retail, or Property.
• Strong technical skills in Excel (advanced level essential).
• Proven experience working with BI tools such as Phocas (2+ years required) or similar.
• Understanding of labour/roster analysis and awards is advantageous.
• Degree-qualified in Finance or Accounting, or equivalent professional experience.
• Solid knowledge of core accounting concepts (e.g., inventory, costing, payroll, month-end close).
• Experience managing complex entity structures.
