Lusona Consultancy are delighted to be partnering exclusively with The West of Scotland Housing Association (WSHA) to recruit a Finance Business Partner to join their growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and commercially minded finance professional to play a pivotal role in supporting the organisation’s strategic and operational objectives. The Finance Business Partner will work closely with managers across the business, providing financial insight, advice, and analysis to drive informed decision-making and deliver value for money.
The Role
Working as a key link between Finance and operational teams, your duties will include:
1. Building strong working relationships with departmental managers, acting as a trusted financial advisor.
2. Leading the production of monthly management accounts and variance analysis.
3. Supporting the preparation of annual budgets, forecasts, and business plans.
4. Preparing annual financial statements and regulatory reports.
5. Monitoring financial performance, identifying variances, and advising on corrective actions.
6. Maintaining financial controls and ensuring compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.
7. Supporting grant applications, new projects, and business development initiatives.
