About the Opportunity

Are you a commercially minded finance professional looking to make your mark in a rapidly growing PE‑backed business? We're representing an ambitious and dynamic organisation in Leicester that's scaling at pace and needs a Senior Finance Business Partner to play a pivotal role in shaping strategic direction.

This is your opportunity to move beyond traditional finance and become a true business partner—driving strategic objectives through insightful analysis, robust planning, and commercial acumen. You'll be surrounded by a team of high‑calibre finance professionals in an environment that rewards initiative and expertise.

What You'll Be Doing

• Strategic Analysis & Planning : Lead financial planning activities and provide strategic insights that directly influence business decisions
• Business Intelligence : Transform complex data into actionable intelligence that shapes commercial strategy
• Commercial Partnership : Work closely with senior stakeholders across the business, building relationships and influencing key decisions
• Financial Insight : Deliver high-quality analysis and commentary that drives performance and identifies growth opportunities
• Business Case Development : Support strategic initiatives with robust financial modelling and scenario planning

What We're Looking For

Essential

• ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified (or equivalent)
• 1-2 years PQE (though candidates with relevant experience will be considered)
• Advanced Excel skills—you should be confident with complex modelling, data manipulation, and analysis
• Proven experience in commercial partnering and stakeholder management
• Strategic mindset with the ability to translate financial data into business insight
• Strong communication skills—able to present complex information clearly to non‑finance stakeholders

Highly Desirable

• Experience with Power BI or SQL
• Exposure to PE‑backed or high‑growth environments
• Track record of driving change and influencing business outcomes

What's On Offer

• Salary : Up to £65,000 depending on experience
• Bonus : 10% performance‑related bonus
• Working Pattern : Hybrid working arrangement offering flexibility
• Growth Environment : Be part of a fast‑paced, ambitious business backed by private equity
• Professional Development : Work alongside exceptional finance professionals and accelerate your career
• Impact : Genuine opportunity to shape strategy and make a meaningful contribution

Why Join?

This isn't just another finance role. You'll be joining a business where finance is valued as a strategic function, not just a support service. The pace is fast, the challenges are varied, and the opportunities to develop are significant. If you're ready to step up and make a real impact, this could be the perfect next move.
