Job description

Senior Finance Business Partner

Location: North Leicestershire Hybrid Working
£70,000 to £80,000 Permanent Full Time

Are you a fully qualified Finance Business Partner with strong experience of capital expenditure, commercial finance and supporting major investment decisions?

Blusource Recruitment is working with a highly acquisitive, private equity backed business that is experiencing significant growth following substantial investment into its operations, systems and finance function.

With ambitious plans for further expansion, this is an exciting time to join a fast-moving, dynamic and well-supported organisation where finance will play a key role in driving future growth.

The business is looking to appoint a Senior Finance Business Partner to take ownership of financial business partnering across significant capital and operational expenditure.

The Role

Working closely with the CFO and senior operational leadership, you will play an important role in strengthening financial oversight, improving commercial decision-making and supporting the organisation’s continued growth.

This is a genuine business partnering opportunity rather than a traditional financial control or reporting position.

Key responsibilities include:

• Taking ownership of financial business partnering across significant CapEx and operational budgets.

• Providing commercial insight, financial analysis and constructive challenge to senior stakeholders.

• Supporting capital investment planning, budgeting, forecasting and expenditure management.

• Improving financial visibility, accountability and control across major areas of expenditure.

• Working closely with operational teams to identify efficiencies and opportunities for improved financial performance.

• Supporting wider finance transformation initiatives, including new systems and evolving processes.

• Playing a key role in developing a finance function capable of supporting an ambitious growth and acquisition strategy.

About You

We are looking for a commercially minded finance professional who enjoys working closely with the business and influencing decisions.

You will bring:

• Full ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification, essential.

• Strong finance business partnering or commercial finance experience.

• Proven exposure to significant CapEx budgets, capital investment or complex operational expenditure.

• Confidence engaging with and challenging senior stakeholders.

• Experience within a complex, growing or asset-intensive organisation.

• A proactive approach to improving financial performance and supporting change.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity to join an ambitious, well-invested business with genuine momentum behind its growth plans.

With significant investment already made into the finance function, new systems and wider operations, you’ll be joining a supportive environment with the resources and backing to make a real impact.

For someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment, genuine commercial partnering and the opportunity to influence a growing business, this offers an exciting next step.
