Finance Business Partner (6-Month Contract)

Location: Alcester / Hybrid

Contract: 6 months (strong potential for extension)

The Opportunity

  • This is a high-impact Finance Business Partner role at a pivotal moment for the business. Following a recent acquisition—and with further deals in the pipeline—you’ll play a key role in shaping financial insight and supporting decision-making in a fast-evolving, Private Equity-backed environment.
  • This position offers a rare blend of strategic exposure and hands‑on delivery. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders, contribute to board‑level reporting, and get directly involved in the financial integration and performance of a growing group.
  • If you enjoy operating at the intersection of FP&A and management accounting—and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves—this role offers both challenge and visibility.

What You’ll Be Doing

Partnering & Commercial Insight

  • Act as a trusted partner to departmental heads, providing clear insight into monthly performance vs budget
  • Investigate and explain variances, challenge assumptions, and drive accountability
  • Support better decision‑making through actionable financial analysis

Reporting & Board Exposure

  • Lead on the preparation of high‑quality management reporting, including board packs
  • Deliver clear, concise commentary tailored for senior stakeholders
  • Support project‑level analysis, including profitability and performance tracking

Forecasting & Planning

  • Translate pipeline/workbank data into robust financial forecasts and forward‑looking insights
  • Support budgeting and reforecasting cycles in a dynamic environment

Hands‑On Finance Support

  • Contribute to month‑end close where needed, including posting journals
  • Ensure accuracy and integrity of financial data across systems (Rock, Oracle)
  • Bring a “no job too small” mindset when supporting the wider finance function

Growth & Integration

  • Support the integration of acquisitions and evolving reporting structures
  • Help build scalable processes and improve financial visibility across the group

Why This Role Stands Out

Direct exposure to senior leadership and board-level decision‑making

Opportunity to play a key role in an active M&A environment

Varied role combining commercial insight with hands‑on delivery

Flexible hybrid working and a modern, collaborative culture

Strong likelihood of extension as the business continues to grow

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in a Finance Business Partner or Management Accountant role, ideally with exposure to both FP&A and core accounting
  • Experience in a Private Equity‑backed or high‑growth environment is highly desirable
  • Strong commercial acumen with the confidence to challenge and influence senior stakeholders
  • A hands‑on, adaptable approach—comfortable operating both strategically and in the detail
  • Experience producing board‑level reporting and working in fast‑paced environments

Technical Skills

  • Strong Excel skills with the ability to manipulate and analyse large datasets
  • Experience with Power Query, Power BI, or similar tools is highly desirable
  • Familiarity with ERP systems such as Oracle
  • Experience working with forecasting and planning tools

Company Benefits

  • Company vehicle and business phone
  • Company pension scheme
  • Referral programme
  • Sick pay
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
