Finance Business Partner
Leicestershire | Hybrid working (3 days on site)
£50,000 - £52,000 + £7,000 car allowance + benefits
This sits within a well established, operationally focused business with a strong UK presence.
There’s been a recent shift in the senior finance team and a clear move to bring finance closer to the day to day running of the business. You’ll also have some exposure to sites, typically once or twice a quarter, with more time on site when it adds value.
This isn’t about producing numbers after the fact. It’s about being in the business, influencing decisions, and driving performance where it actually matters.
You’ll be reporting into an experienced Finance Controller who understands the business well and gives you the space to get on with it.
It could suit someone already in a Finance Business Partner role looking for a new opportunity, or a Management Accountant who’s started to get involved in partnering and wants something more operational and visible.
The role
• Finance Business Partner aligned to a small group of operational areas
• Part of a newly shaped team with clear progression and support
• Working closely with operational leaders across different parts of the business
What you’ll be doing
• Business partnering with operational leadership to drive performance
• Owning P&L and balance sheet for your area, not just reviewing it
• Budgeting and forecasting linked to what’s actually happening on the ground
• Supporting investment decisions and building business cases
• Challenging costs, improving efficiency, asking the right questions
• Building relationships across the business and being visible where it matters
This is a proper partnering role. They’re not looking for someone to sit behind a spreadsheet.
They want someone curious, someone who pushes back, someone who gets into the detail and understands how things really work.
Background
• Qualified or close to qualification (ACCA, CIMA, ACA)
• Experience in a multi site or operational environment would be beneficial
• Strong grounding in reporting, forecasting and commercial insight
Package
• £50,000 - £52,000 salary
• £7,000 car allowance
• 3x death in service
• Healthcare cash plan
• Hybrid working
Location
Leicestershire
Process
• Initial Teams interview

If you want a role where you’re actually part of the business rather than reporting on it after the event, this is worth a look. Apply with your CV and I’ll run you through it properly.
