Harlow (Hybrid set up - 1 day a week in the office)
£50k - £57k + Great Benefits Package
Our Client, a high-growth, margin-driven FMCG business is looking to recruit a Commercial Finance Business Partner into a small, high-impact finance team. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified accountant who enjoys being close to the commercial engine of a business and wants a role that can genuinely evolve.
The Opportunity
This role sits within a collaborative commercial finance team, reporting to a senior finance leader and working closely with the Finance Director and wider leadership team. The environment is hands-on, fast-paced, and highly visible - finance is embedded in the business rather than operating at arm's length.
You will have responsibility for core commercial finance activities while also partnering with non-finance stakeholders to provide insight, challenge, and support decision-making.
Key Responsibilities
Commercial Finance & Business Partnering
* Preparation and consolidation of forecasts and financial scenarios
* Providing clear commercial insight to non-finance stakeholders
* Gross margin analysis and performance tracking
* Supporting pricing activity and customer tenders
* Identifying opportunities to improve profitability and cost efficiency
* Financial modelling to support commercial and strategic decisions
* Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders across the business
Reporting, Control & Planning
* Month-end and year-end reporting responsibilities
* Weekly cashflow forecasting and management
* Supporting the annual budget and long-term planning process
* Balance sheet review and control
* Supporting audit processes and maintaining strong financial controls
* Continuous improvement of systems, processes, and reporting
This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded finance professional seeking greater exposure to senior stakeholders and real commercial decision-making. The role offers genuine scope to grow and evolve, within a collaborative, non-hierarchical finance team where your insight will have visible impact in a margin-critical business. If you are looking to move beyond pure reporting and step into a true business partnering role, this position offers both challenge and long-term development.
