We’re a fast-paced, entrepreneurial business with turnover exceeding £400m, and we’re looking for a commercially minded Finance Business Partner to join our growing finance team.
This is a high-impact role at the heart of the business, partnering closely with operational ‘Heads of’ to drive performance, influence decision-making and improve profitability.
You won’t just report the numbers: you’ll get under the skin of the business, challenge assumptions, identify opportunities and help shape strategic decisions that deliver real commercial results.
We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys influencing senior stakeholders and is motivated by making a measurable impact.
The Role
As a Finance Business Partner, you’ll act as a trusted advisor to operational business units, combining commercial insight, financial analysis and constructive challenge to improve business performance.
You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders across the business to identify opportunities, mitigate risks and support strategic initiatives, while helping drive accountability and continuous improvement throughout the organisation.
Key Responsibilities
  * Partner with operational senior stakeholders to provide financial insight, guidance and challenge to support better decision-making.
  * Analyse and monitor key business performance metrics, identifying short and medium-term trends and opportunities.
  * Present management accounts, KPIs and detailed variance analysis with clear recommendations and actionable insights.
  * Hold operational business units accountable for delivery against budgets, forecasts and strategic targets.
  * Translate complex financial data into commercially valuable insight that drives profitability and performance improvements.
  * Challenge assumptions and business cases to ensure decisions are commercially sound and value-driven.
  * Work with operational teams to identify opportunities to increase revenue, reduce costs and improve margins.
  * Support budgeting, forecasting and long-term planning processes.
  * Identify business risks and opportunities, communicating financial impact and supporting mitigation plans.
  * Drive continuous improvement by challenging existing processes and identifying more efficient ways of working.
  * Support the Finance Director on strategic projects and business initiatives.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is commercially curious, analytically strong, and confident in a large, complex, and fast-paced environment.
You’ll need to be a self-starter who enjoys problem-solving, influencing stakeholders and delivering meaningful commercial outcomes.
Skills & Experience
  * Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
  * Experience working within a large, fast-paced and commercially focused business.
  * Retail or multi-site experience is beneficial but not essential.
  * Strong analytical, financial and technical skills.
  * Advanced Excel skills and confidence working across multiple systems
  * Ability to interpret, manipulate and translate large volumes of financial data into meaningful commercial insight.
Personal Qualities
  * Commercially minded with strong business awareness
  * Highly organised and adaptable to changing priorities
  * Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  * Resilient and comfortable working with multiple stakeholders.
  * Positive attitude towards change and continuous improvement.
  * Tenacious, driven and solutions-focused
