As FP&A Senior Manager – Strategic Projects, you will lead the redesign of how our Professional Services & Advice (PS&A) division forecasts revenue, margin and cost. The aim is to move away from traditional production and utilisation-based models toward ones that reflect how the business now operates.
You will run a Forecasting Centre of Excellence for PS&A FP&A. That means owning the methodology, frameworks and tools, then working with divisional FP&A Managers to embed them across Wealth Management, Audit, Advisory & Consulting, and Accounting & Tax. This is a specialist role, not a divisional business partnering role.
You will report to the FP&A Lead, PS&A and be based in Melbourne or Sydney.
Redesign revenue and margin forecasting frameworks for AI-augmented service delivery, value-based pricing and an evolving workforce mix.
Challenge existing assumptions, such as billable hours, FTE capacity and recovery rates, where AI is making them unreliable.
Build and maintain driver-based models, margin bridges and scenario and sensitivity tools.
Develop forward-looking analytics using leading indicators, pipeline data and operational metrics.
Partner with the Business Intelligence team to automate data flows and apply AI tools to modelling and reporting.
Give divisional FP&A Managers the tools, templates and guidance to apply the new approach in their planning cycles.
Support the FP&A Lead with group budgeting and forecasting, and with special projects.
Coach any direct reports, where applicable.
A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics or a quantitative discipline, and CPA or CA qualified (essential).
At least 8 years’ experience in FP&A, financial modelling or management accounting in a complex, multi-divisional environment.
Advanced modelling skills, with a track record of building models from the ground up rather than relying on pre-built templates.
Experience redesigning or significantly improving forecasting methodologies, not just operating within them.
Experience with large, complex datasets, and with applying automation or AI tools in an FP&A context.
A strong understanding of how AI is changing professional services operating and revenue models.
Clear communication, able to turn complex methodology into practical tools for non-specialist users.
A collaborative, self-directed approach, comfortable working without a rigid brief.
Advantageous: Power BI, Workday Adaptive or similar planning and reporting platforms, professional services experience, and exposure to finance transformation or change projects.
