Finance Business Partner

Ever felt like you're producing numbers but not actually influencing anything?

This is a Finance Business Partner role for someone who wants to be closer to the action - working alongside operational and commercial teams, challenging decisions, and helping shape performance.

You'll be joining a well-established, large-scale infrastructure-focused business, operating across multiple regions and delivering complex, long-term frameworks. The numbers are big, the contracts are detailed, and the opportunity to add value is very real.

This isn't about sitting in finance and looking backwards. It's about being embedded in the business, understanding what's happening on the ground, and driving better outcomes.

What's the role? You'll sit right at the centre of operations, working closely with commercial leads and regional teams. It's a mix of detail and insight - getting into the numbers, then stepping back to challenge and support decision-making.

Key Responsibilities:

• Partnering with operational teams to review contract performance, risk & profitability
• Supporting monthly management accounts, forecasting and budgeting
• Ownership of weekly cashflow forecasting for a significant revenue stream
• Reviewing live projects and CVRs, ensuring financial accuracy and challenge
• Supporting quarterly audits across regional frameworks
• Providing meaningful insight to non-finance stakeholders
• Identifying improvements in process, controls and reporting
• Building strong relationships across multiple sites and teams

It's a role where you'll need to be comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions, and getting into the detail.

:

• This role suits someone looking to step into a more commercial, forward-facing position. Ideally, you'll bring:
• ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or close to qualifying)
• Circa 1-3 years PQE in audit, management accounts or similar
• Strong analytical skills and confidence working with data
• A good understanding of revenue recognition / contract accounting principles (nice to have, not essential)
• Confidence to build relationships and influence non-finance stakeholders
• A proactive mindset - someone who wants to improve things, not just maintain them

You don't need to have done this exact role before - but you do need the mindset.

What's in it for you?

• £55,000 - £65,000 salary DOE
• £5k car allowance
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays (with buy/sell scheme)
• 5% pension
• Healthcare cash plan
• Exposure to senior stakeholders and large-scale operations

If you're looking for a role where you can step out from behind the numbers and actually influence the business, this is a strong one to consider.
