Keen to join an organisation going through genuine transformation, with investment in both services and people? If yes, look no further!

An ambitious and forward-thinking organisation is seeking a Finance Business Partner to join their high-performing team on a permanent basis. This newly created role sits at the heart of an exciting period of investment and positive change in the organisation’s financial services, offering real influence, variety, and opportunity for growth.

Key Responsibilities of this Finance Business Partner are as follows:

This is a career-defining opportunity. You’ll join a team with a strong learning culture, where your development is a top priority. From structured mentorship and tailored training to study support and coaching, you’ll be supported at every step. With hybrid working (just one day a week in the office), generous leave, and a clear focus on flexibility, you’ll also enjoy a brilliant work-life balance.

The Ideal Candidate will have:

• A qualified (or part-qualified) CCAB/CIMA accountant
• A confident communicator who can build relationships and influence decisions
• Experienced in budgeting and forecasting and management accounting
• Analytical, proactive and eager to drive continuous improvement
• Passionate about making a real impact in a role that combines strategy, systems, and service delivery
