Are you a commercially minded Management Accountant ready to step into a broader, more influential role?
An established organisation in Middlesbrough is seeking a Finance Business Partner to join its Financial Planning and Reporting team. The finance function has recently evolved, with Management Accountants transitioning into Business Partner roles, making this an exciting time to join and help shape the direction of the team.
The Role
This is a blended position, combining approximately 60% business partnering with 40% management accounting. You will retain ownership of month end while acting as the primary finance contact for your business unit.
Responsibilities include:
Owning month-end, including management accounts, variance analysis and balance sheet reconciliations
Presenting results to senior leaders, including Executive stakeholders
Supporting and constructively challenging operational and commercial teams
Leading budgets and quarterly forecasts
Providing insight into risks, opportunities and commercial initiatives
Driving process improvements and supporting ongoing systems development
You will take the numbers from production through to presentation, giving you genuine exposure and influence across the business.
About You
Open to qualified, part-qualified or qualified by experience candidates with strong management accounting experience. You will be confident engaging with senior stakeholders, presenting financial information clearly and building credible working relationships.
Experience within a larger or more complex organisation would be advantageous. However, strong candidates from smaller organisations will absolutely be considered if you can demonstrate ownership of processes, meaningful analysis and the right attitude and mindset.
This is an excellent opportunity for either an existing Finance Business Partner or a strong Management Accountant ready to step into a more commercially focused role
