full-timeFP&A Manager
Volta · London, UK
Volta is an AI infrastructure platform focused on providing compute resources through a vertically integrated model that encompasses capital, hardware clusters, and software. As the company's first dedicated FP&A Manager, you will be responsible for building the financial planning and analysis function from the ground up. This is a hands-on role that requires managing short-range cash forecasting, variance analysis, and complex financial modeling across multiple entities and currencies. You will report to the VP of Accounting and play a key role in tracking capital-intensive projects, such as data center build-outs and GPU procurement. The position demands a high degree of accounting fluency, as you will be responsible for ensuring that financial models align with US GAAP standards and reconcile with the general ledger. This role is ideal for a qualified accountant with significant experience in high-burn or capital-intensive environments who is comfortable with zero-to-one process building. You will be expected to define reporting cadences, manage burn rates, and provide clear financial insights for the CFO, board, and investors in a fast-paced, rapidly growing organization.
About Volta Volta is the category-defining, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform – from capital to clusters to software, under a founder-led enterprise. Our mission is The Utility of Compute™: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it. Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up. We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds. About The Role We are making our first dedicated FP&A hire: an FP&A Manager to own short-range forecasting, variance analysis, and accounting-grounded financial modeling across a multi-entity, multi-currency group, operating at both corporate and SPV level. Reporting to the VP of Accounting, this is a hands-on, builder role: you will design the forecasting and reporting cadence from scratch, in an environment where capital deployment is large, fast, and lumpy — data center build-outs, GPU procurement, colocation deployments, and project financing. This is not a classic long-range planning seat. The emphasis is on near-term accuracy: rolling 13-week cash forecasting, in-quarter and quarterly reforecasts, burn management, and models that reconcile cleanly to the general ledger and to US GAAP accounting positions. What You Will Be Doing Own the rolling 13-week cash flow forecast across all group entities and currencies (GBP, USD, EUR, NOK), including AP outflows, payroll, project payments, and intercompany funding Run a monthly and quarterly P&L reforecast cycle covering opex, capex, headcount, and cash runway, with clear bridges to the prior forecast Produce consolidated cash and burn reporting for the VP of Accounting, CFO, board, and investors, and manage runway scenarios against the funding plan Deliver monthly actuals-vs-forecast and actuals-vs-budget variance analysis at entity, department, and project level, with root-cause commentary Track project-level cost variances on data center deployments against approved budgets and purchase commitments Build and maintain the group's operating and financial model on a US GAAP basis, consistent with the group's technical accounting positions (capitalization policy, ASC 842 lease accounting, project-finance debt, share-based compensation) Model the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow impacts of major transactions: site acquisitions, colocation and lease commitments, GPU financing, debt drawdowns, and equity events Establish variance thresholds, escalation routes, and reporting formats that will stand up as SOX-adjacent management review controls Define the FP&A calendar, templates, and data model, and contribute to ERP design during the NetSuite implementation What You Bring Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), or equivalent depth in US GAAP-based modeling — this role requires genuine accounting fluency, not just spreadsheet fluency 5+ years in FP&A, with demonstrable ownership of short-range cash forecasting and variance analysis in a capital-intensive or high-burn environment Experience in multi-entity, multi-currency groups; comfort with intercompany flows and FX in forecasting Strong grasp of accrual accounting mechanics: able to build a three-statement model that ties to the trial balance and explain timing versus rate versus volume variances Advanced Excel; experience with leading ERPs is strongly preferred Comfort with ambiguity and zero-to-one process building; you write clearly and present numbers that go to the board without rework Nice to Have Data center, infrastructure, energy, or other project-finance-heavy sector experience Exposure to SOX 404 environments or IPO/listing readiness Familiarity with ASC 842, ASC 718, or capitalization of infrastructure assets Experience forecasting in pre-revenue or early-revenue companies REQ-9 What We Offer At Volta, we believe people do their best work when they feel supported, trusted and able to grow.
