Job description

You've probably worked in a place where 'finance business partnering' was code for fixing budgets no one stuck to.

Where you were looped in after the fact and expected to sprinkle logic over chaos.

If you're done with that, then keep reading.

This role is different. And not just on paper.

You'll be stepping into a proper business partnering role, not just in name.

It's new. It's important. And it reports into a Finance Director who wants your input, not just your spreadsheets.

The business? Very well established and well known in the area and stable.

What You Will Do

• Lead and develop a team of business partner accountants.
• Be the voice of finance in the room - challenging, guiding, and supporting decisions that affect the bottom line.
• Run budgets, forecasts and planning cycles and keep people honest when actuals land.
• Own monthly management reporting not just the numbers, but the story behind them.
• Work with the Finance Director to tighten reporting, improve processes, and push better insights into the business.
  
  

What You'll Look Like

• You're qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) and have been around long enough to know what good looks like.
• You've spent time business partnering with non-finance people and you know how to add value without flooding them with spreadsheets.
• You've probably worked in a mid-sized or complex organisation where commercial decisions weren't always black and white and you're used to asking the right questions.
• You've managed, coached or mentored others. You get a kick out of helping people grow.
• You've been in rooms where investment decisions were being made, and you were confident enough to speak up, even if the answer wasn't what they wanted to hear.
• You're commercially curious. You want to understand how things make money, not just how they're reported.
  
  

What You'll Get

• A Finance Director who believes in partnering and gives you room to operate.
• Flexible working - up to 3 days a week from home.
• 35-hour week. 25 days holiday. Life cover. Family leave. Cycle scheme.
• A team that's growing and improving, where you'll be a key part of what's next.
