Robert Half is proud to be partnering with a growing, values-driven organisation to recruit a Finance Business Partner on a permanent basis. This is an exciting opportunity to join a commercially focused finance team in a role that blends strong technical accounting with true business partnering and strategic involvement.
The organisation is entering a period of continued growth and transformation, including investment in systems, process improvement, and acquisition activity. As such, this role offers excellent exposure to senior stakeholders, commercial decision-making, and high-impact projects. We are particularly interested in candidates trained within a Top 10 accounting firm who are looking to step into a broad, commercially focused industry role.
The Role:
Reporting to the Financial Controller, the Finance Business Partner will act as a trusted advisor to the Commercial function, providing insight, challenge, and support to drive performance and informed decision-making. This role combines analytical rigour with stakeholder engagement and will play a key role in supporting strategic initiatives, systems development, and acquisition activity.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Building strong relationships with the Commercial team, acting as their primary financial partner
- Providing insightful analysis on revenue, margin, profitability, and key performance indicators
- Challenging assumptions and supporting strategic planning and decision-making
- Delivering accurate and timely financial reporting, including variance and trend analysis
- Supporting month-end processes, budgeting, forecasting, and long-term financial planning
- Leading and supporting cross-functional projects, including process improvements and system enhancements
- Driving system integration and optimisation to ensure finance processes are efficient and scalable
- Supporting acquisition activity, including financial due diligence, modelling, and post-acquisition integration
- Collaborating with stakeholders across finance, operations, and senior leadership
You:
The successful candidate will be a fully qualified accountant with strong technical foundations and a commercial mindset. You will be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, partnering with non-finance stakeholders, and managing multiple priorities simultaneously.
This role would suit someone making their first or second move from practice, particularly from a Top 10 firm, or an existing Finance Business Partner seeking broader exposure to projects, systems, and M&A activity.
You will likely have:
- ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualification
- Training within a Top 10 accounting firm, with strong grounding in financial reporting and analysis
- Experience delivering commercial or financial analysis to support business decisions
- Strong technical accounting knowledge and attention to detail
- Advanced analytical skills, including experience building financial or statistical models
- Strong communication skills with the ability to influence non-finance stakeholders
- Experience supporting projects, process improvements, or system implementations
- A proactive, hands-on approach and the ability to work to tight deadlines
- A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel nationally during the initial onboarding period
Salary & Benefits:
- Salary up to £60,000
- £5,000 car allowance
- Performance-related bonus
- Hybrid working model (2 days in the office / 3 days from home)
- Comprehensive benefits package
- Exposure to systems transformation and acquisition activity
- Clear opportunity for progression as the business continues to grow
