We’re looking for a proactive and detail-driven FP&A Finance Business Partner to join our growing FP&A team within WPS on an 18 month fixed term contract. This is a key role supporting both the FP&A function and the wider Finance team, offering great exposure across the business and strong development opportunities.
About the role
Working closely with the FP&A team and Head of FP&A, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering high-quality financial insight and reporting. You’ll provide regular updates on workload, reporting, reconciliations and queries, and act as a trusted finance partner across the business. Your key areas of focus will include:
- Balance Sheets, Working Capital and Cashflow Statements
- Monthly Board reporting
- Supporting the integration of a new acquisition into “business as usual” reporting
Responsibilities
You’ll be a qualified finance professional (CIMA or ACCA preferred) with post-qualification experience and a strong grounding in core finance principles, including:
- Debits & credits and double-entry journals
- Accruals, overheads, P&L and balance sheets
Additional Skills
- Strong report writing and financial analysis skills
- Intermediate Excel capability
- The ability to communicate clearly and influence Finance and Commercial stakeholders
- A big-picture mindset, with the confidence to analyse trends and challenge the numbers
- A positive, enthusiastic and can-do approach. You’ll be a team player who can also work independently, with excellent attention to detail – particularly during busy periods such as month-end, year-end and audits. You’ll be self-motivated, diligent and keen to continue developing your career within Finance.
Benefits
While this is an 18-month FTC, the role offers valuable exposure in a dynamic finance environment and is ideal for someone looking to strengthen their FP&A and business partnering experience.
