Fp&a Manager

Fresh Food, Happy Dogs.

We believe dogs deserve the healthiest, most natural and tastiest meals - with none of the nasties. That’s why we make FRESHly prepared food, cooked just like you would at home and delivered direct to our customers in perfect portions. As a B-Corp certified company, you’re joining a sustainable business that genuinely cares about our people, our products and our impact on the planet. Our goal is simple: to help dogs live healthier, happier, and longer lives, while leaving humans smiling after every interaction.

We’ve come a long way since our co-founders (Kev & Dave), hand delivered the very first Butternut Box. Today, we feed hundreds of thousands of hungry dogs across the UK and Europe - but we won’t stop until we’re feeding dogs everywhere. To get there, we need a team of brilliant people who share that ambition to come and work for us.

We’re looking for an experienced, commercially minded FP&A Manager to join the team here at Butternut Box on a 12-month fixed-term contract. The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant with a strong track record in FP&A, able to hit the ground running and take ownership from day one in a fast-paced environment where comfort with ambiguity is a must.

📣 A bit about the role.

As FP&A Manager you will own core FP&A processes spanning reporting, planning, forecasting and budgeting, and be a trusted finance partner to the business. We’re looking for someone who can step in quickly, own and improve processes rather than just run them, and deliver insight that shapes decisions. In this role, you can expect to:

• Own the rolling forecast process end-to-end. Consolidate our management accounts and inputs from business leaders to quantify how deviations from plan impact the P&L and cash over the short, medium and long term.
• Own defined workstreams within budgeting and long-range planning, setting the approach and timetable and reviewing the outputs.
• Own periodic P&L and cash variance analysis, holding the narrative on root causes and agreeing corrective actions with budget owners.
• Own the 4-weekly periodic business review (PBR) process with budget owners, from pack to follow-up, ensuring risks and opportunities surface early and we make timely decisions based on business performance.
• Act as the finance lead for commercial teams on CPA, growth rates, retention, channel effectiveness and where to allocate resources.
• Act as the finance lead for our operational teams on unit economics, standard costs, yield, write-offs and OEE.
• Lead scenario modelling for product / market launches and growth initiatives. We are quickly expanding across Europe; this role will help us prepare for new market launches and will work closely with international teams to support their success.
