Finance Business Partner
Salary £50,000
Permanent, Full-time
Hybrid Working, 2 days in office
Location: Central London
A leading national membership organisation is seeking a Finance Business Partner to join its small, high-performing finance team. This is a brilliant opportunity for a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) to play a key role in a values-led charity that is entering an exciting phase of strategic transformation.
About the role
As Finance Business Partner, you will be the trusted financial advisor to senior stakeholders, supporting around 10–15 budget holders across four functions. You’ll help lead on budgeting, forecasting and monthly management reporting – translating complex data into meaningful insights to drive decision-making. The organisation is in the early stages of improving its systems and automating reporting, so a keen eye for process improvement and system integration will be especially valuable.
You’ll work closely with another Finance Business Partner, supporting their development while also bringing in strong external experience to add strategic value. Confidence, collaboration, and a hands-on approach will be key – this is a flat-structured, non-hierarchical environment where influence comes from relationships rather than titles.
Key priorities in your first six months:
Lead the budgeting cycle for the 2025/26 financial year (beginning this autumn)
Help streamline and automate monthly reporting processes (currently Excel-heavy)
Partner with budget holders to deliver accurate forecasts and clear, actionable financial insight
Support wider transformation projects including a payroll system change and CRM improvements
About you
We’re looking for a fully qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA or CIMA) with experience in a business partnering or management accounting role, ideally within a charity or similar environment. You’ll be confident working with senior, non-finance stakeholders, able to build trust, explain financial information clearly, and help shape business decisions.
Experience with Microsoft Dynamics (Business Central and CRM) or other mid-tier ERP systems would be a plus, as would exposure to charity finance or public sector funding models.
