Finance Business Partner - Looking for a First Time Mover

Your new company An exciting opportunity has arisen with a PE-backed, leading international professional services organisation that is continuing to invest in its finance function. This is a highly visible role within a high-performing team, offering the chance to work alongside senior leadership and play a key part in driving commercial performance across a significant business division.

Your new role As Finance Business Partner, you will work closely with senior stakeholders and operational leaders to provide meaningful commercial insight, challenge decision-making and support strategic growth. You'll take ownership of budgeting, forecasting and long-term planning activities, whilst analysing revenue, profitability, utilisation and working capital performance. The role will also involve supporting pricing and investment decisions, identifying risks and opportunities, enhancing reporting and helping to drive continuous improvement initiatives across the business.

What you'll need to succeed You will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), ideally making the move from a Big 4 Audit Manager position or bringing a strong blend of audit and commercial finance experience. You'll possess excellent analytical and financial modelling skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and translate it into clear commercial recommendations. Strong stakeholder management skills are essential, as you'll be partnering with senior decision-makers and influencing business performance across a large and fast-paced organisation.

What you'll get in return This is an outstanding opportunity to step into a genuine business partnering role within a well-respected organisation, offering broad exposure to senior leadership, strategic decision-making and commercial finance. You'll benefit from a collaborative, supportive culture, flexible hybrid working and a clear platform to further develop your career within a growing international business. What you need to do now
