Company
Altrincham Agile / hybrid working
12 month FTC
£55k-£60K + retention bonus

If you enjoy getting behind the numbers, challenging thinking and helping senior leaders make better commercial decisions, this is an opportunity to do exactly that.
We're recruiting a qualified Finance Business Partner for a high profile, commercially focused role where finance has a genuine voice in decision-making. This is a 12 month fixed-term contract requiring someone who can establish credibility quickly, operate confidently with senior stakeholders and add value from the outset.
You'll work closely with senior leadership, turning financial information into meaningful insight and ensuring performance, risks and opportunities are clearly understood

The role

• Providing proactive financial insight and constructive challenge to influence business decisions
• Leading analysis around performance, budgets, forecasts and longer-term planning
• Monitoring performance against plan and explaining key movements, outlook and emerging issues clearly
• Producing financial analysis and commentary for senior leadership reporting
• Identifying risks and opportunities and recommending practical actions
• Ensuring planning assumptions are robust, stretching and commercially realistic
• Improving finance processes, reporting and ways of working
• Building strong relationships across finance and the wider organisation

The person
You'll be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, with strong commercial finance and business partnering experience. Just as importantly, you'll be comfortable challenging senior stakeholders and defending your analysis. You'll combine strong numeracy with commercial judgement, communicate complex information clearly and remain effective when priorities shift.

This could particularly suit someone who has progressed through management accounting, FP&A or a similar finance route before moving into business partnering and is now ready for broader commercial exposure.

If you want a role where your analysis will be used to shape decisions rather than simply report what has already happened, we'd be keen to hear from you.
