About Hometree

Join Hometree at the most exciting moment in our story. Founded in 2015, we've become one of the fastest-growing challengers in the UK home services market, spanning home cover that protects the essential systems in the home, renewable installations like solar, batteries and heat pumps, and the financing that makes them affordable. Together, we help homeowners look after their homes and move to greener, lower-carbon living.

We're now going through the biggest step change in our history. By acquiring OVO Energy's Home Services division, including the trusted CORGI HomePlan and HomeHeat brands, we're becoming one of the UK's leading home services groups, with fresh investment to fuel our next phase of growth. It's a genuine inflection point, and we're looking for people who want to help us build what comes next.

Key Achievements

🏆 UK's third-largest home cover provider: our latest acquisition makes us the third-largest provider of home cover in the UK.

🏆 7 Acquisitions: we've expanded our operations by acquiring key companies across financing (Hometree Finance, formerly Bewarm), Home Cover (OVO Home Services, CORGI HomePlan and Your Repair) and energy services (Geowarmth, The Little Green Energy Company, CORGI HomeHeat, IMS and GreenGen).

🏆 400k Homes Covered: we cover over 400,000 homes across the UK.

🏆 550+ Employees: we have over 550 passionate employees transforming the industry across the Group, one home at a time.

The Role

This is a new role in our FP&A team, reporting to the Head of FP&A. Bringing OVO Home Services into the Group has made our cost base bigger and more complex, and we need someone who will get to know it in detail.

Your first priority will be understanding our costs: what we spend, where and why. You'll work closely with our integration programme to track the cost synergies we expect from the acquisition and the one-off costs of delivering them. Alongside that, you'll support the budget and reforecast, explain our costs at month end and help keep our cash forecast up to date.

It's a hands-on role with plenty of exposure to budget holders and the leadership team. It suits someone who likes getting into the detail and wants to see how a fast-growing group is run.

Responsibilities

• Map the cost base: build a clear, reconciled view of the Group's costs by business, cost centre, supplier and type, so we know what we spend, where and why.

• Track synergies: work with the integration programme to set the baseline, track cost synergies against plan and show when they come through in the P&L.

• Track integration costs: capture and report the one-off costs of integration, keep them separate from run-rate costs and forecast what is still to come.

• Explain month-end costs: review costs each month with the Finance team, explain the variances to budget and forecast, and flag accruals, timing differences and one-offs.

• Support the budget and reforecast: build and maintain cost budgets and forecasts with budget holders as part of the annual budget and regular reforecast.

• Support the cash forecast: help maintain the 13-week cash forecast with the Finance team, including the cash impact of integration.

• Partner budget holders: be the go-to person for budget holders on their costs, answering their questions and challenging spend with evidence.

• Improve our reporting: make cost and integration reporting faster and more reliable, automating routine work where you can, including with AI tools.

What we're looking for

• Experience: 2 or more years in FP&A, management accounting or a similar finance role.

• Finance knowledge: a solid understanding of the P&L, month-end close, accruals and cash.

• Spreadsheet skills: strong in Excel or Google Sheets, and comfortable pulling and reconciling data from finance systems.

• Attention to detail: your numbers reconcile and you spot when something doesn't look right.

• Communication: you can explain numbers clearly to people outside Finance.

• Curiosity: you ask why costs have moved and keep going until you know the answer.

• Comfortable with change: you can bring order to data and processes while two businesses are being brought together.

• Qualification: studying towards or holding ACA, ACCA or CIMA.

Extra Credit

• Experience of an acquisition or integration, synergy tracking or a cost reduction programme.

• SQL, Python or a BI tool such as Power BI or Looker.

• Using AI tools in your day-to-day work.

• Experience of a planning system or ERP implementation.

• A background in home services, insurance, consumer finance or renewables.

• Initial Call: start with an introductory call with our Talent Acquisition Partner to discuss the role and your potential fit. (30 mins)

• Skills-Based Interview: a detailed discussion about your past experience with our Head of FP&A. (1 hr)

• Task Stage: present a task to group of panelists. (1 hr)
