Working closely with the Finance Business Partner, Senior Finance Business Partner, CFO and FD, you’ll support a range of invested businesses with forecasting, reporting, and insightful financial analysis.

• Present financial insights and analysis to senior stakeholders, both finance and non-finance
• Provide meaningful analysis of business performance and financial results
• Support the preparation of budgets and forecasts for invested businesses and the wider group
• Assist with scenario modelling and strategic planning
• Identify risks, trends, and variances, offering proactive solutions

• Strong commercial awareness and understanding of business performance drivers
• Excellent communication skills with the confidence to present to senior stakeholders
• Good working knowledge of management accounts, forecasting, budgeting, and financial modelling
• A proactive approach with strong analytical skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and within a collaborative, fast-paced team
• Power BI or similar data tools experience is desirable but not essential
• Experience working with non-finance teams and explaining complex financial information clearly

What’s on Offer:

• £40,000 – £45,000 salary depending on experience
• Study support for professional qualifications
• Private medical insurance (Vitality)
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Hybrid working: 3 days in office (Mon–Wed), 2 days from home
