Location: Hybrid / Alcester B49, UK
job type: Permanent / Full-time
Sector and subsector: Accounting & Finance | Finance
Annual Salary range:from £ 45,000.00 to £ 65,000.00
Finance Business Partner (6-Month Contract)
Location: Alcester / Hybrid
Contract: 6 months (strong potential for extension)
The Opportunity
* This is a high-impact Finance Business Partner role at a pivotal moment for the business. Following a recent acquisition—and with further deals in the pipeline—you’ll play a key role in shaping financial insight and supporting decision-making in a fast-evolving, Private Equity-backed environment.
* This position offers a rare blend of strategic exposure and hands‑on delivery. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders, contribute to board‑level reporting, and get directly involved in the financial integration and performance of a growing group.
* If you enjoy operating at the intersection of FP&A and management accounting—and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves—this role offers both challenge and visibility.
What You’ll Be Doing
Partnering & Commercial Insight
* Act as a trusted partner to departmental heads, providing clear insight into monthly performance vs budget
* Investigate and explain variances, challenge assumptions, and drive accountability
* Support better decision‑making through actionable financial analysis
Reporting & Board Exposure
* Lead on the preparation of high‑quality management reporting, including board packs
* Deliver clear, concise commentary tailored for senior stakeholders
* Support project‑level analysis, including profitability and performance tracking
Forecasting & Planning
* Translate pipeline/workbank data into robust financial forecasts and forward‑looking insights
* Support budgeting and reforecasting cycles in a dynamic environment
Hands‑On Finance Support
* Contribute to month‑end close where needed, including posting journals
* Ensure accuracy and integrity of financial data across systems (Rock, Oracle)
* Bring a “no job too small” mindset when supporting the wider finance function
Growth & Integration
* Support the integration of acquisitions and evolving reporting structures
* Help build scalable processes and improve financial visibility across the group
Why This Role Stands Out
Direct exposure to senior leadership and board-level decision‑making
Opportunity to play a key role in an active M&A environment
Varied role combining commercial insight with hands‑on delivery
Flexible hybrid working and a modern, collaborative culture
Strong likelihood of extension as the business continues to grow

* A hands‑on, adaptable approach—comfortable operating both strategically and in the detail

Technical Skills
* Strong Excel skills with the ability to manipulate and analyse large datasets
* Experience with Power Query, Power BI, or similar tools is highly desirable
* Familiarity with ERP systems such as Oracle
* Experience working with forecasting and planning tools
