Description

Henderson Scott Finance & Accounting have partnered with a specialist consultancy and market leader in Financial and Operational Planning. They work with CFOs and executive teams to design and deliver modern, cloud-based planning solutions that support better, faster decision-making.

They are now seeking a Qualified Accountant to join them as a Pre-Sales Consultant, bringing strong hands-on CPM model-building capability alongside the commercial confidence to shape and present solutions to senior stakeholders.

The Role

This role sits at the front end of the client journey, where speed, credibility, and technical depth matter.

You will work directly with senior finance stakeholders to design, build, and demonstrate planning models at pace, often producing working prototypes or proof-of-concept models within one to two days. These models will form the foundation of client buy-in before projects move into full delivery.

This is a hands-on role: you are expected to build, iterate, and adapt models yourself - not just design them conceptually.

Key Responsibilities

Rapidly build functional CPM planning models (budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning, reporting) to support pre-sales and early-stage client engagements

Lead discovery sessions with CFOs and finance leaders to capture requirements and translate them into working system models

Develop and tailor demos, prototypes, and proof-of-concept solutions at short notice

Confidently explain model logic, assumptions, and outputs to senior stakeholders

Act as the technical finance expert within the sales cycle, supporting proposals and solution workshops

Partner closely with delivery consultants to hand over scalable, well-structured models for implementation

Work with cloud-based CPM platforms (Workday Adaptive Planning preferred)

Your Profile

Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent) or equivalent senior finance background
Strong hands-on development experience with CPM / EPM tools
Proven ability to build planning models quickly and accurately under time pressure
Deep understanding of budgeting, forecasting, scenario modelling, and management reporting
Comfortable operating in pre-sales environments, including demos and client-facing workshops
Able to balance technical depth with clear, confident communication

In return:

Work with market-leading CPM technology
Join an award-winning team of planning experts, accountants, and consultants
Influence high-impact decisions at the executive level
Be part of a consultancy that genuinely values expertise, innovation, and collaboration

Package:

£100,000 - £135,000 (£8K car allowance)
Includes 10% bonus (paid out every year for 25 years)
Uncapped commission on personal and company sales
Private health personal and family
Flexible working - predominantly remote but travel required to London and sometimes abroad (All expenses paid)
