Role Overview
We're looking for a commercially sharp, relationship-driven Finance Business Partner who enjoys getting stuck into the numbers behind the business. You'll take ownership of financial partnering across the business, working closely with non-finance stakeholders to shape budgets, sharpen forecasts, and turn data into decisions. You'll keep reporting accurate, timely, and genuinely useful information to the people relying on it.
Key Responsibilities
- Business partner with sales, operational, and senior stakeholders, providing commercial finance support and challenge.
- Produce accurate weekly and monthly performance reporting, forecasts, and variance analysis.
- Develop and manage financial models to support decision-making and strategic planning.
- Deliver detailed, insightful analysis of revenue, margins, and business performance, identifying trends, risks, and opportunities.
- Prepare and maintain stock reporting, ensuring accuracy and timely visibility for the business.
- Manage and reconcile listing fees and promotional activity, ensuring correct application and reporting of the net impact to the business.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align financial objectives with wider business goals.
- Present financial data and insights clearly to senior management.
- Identify and drive continuous improvement in financial processes, controls, and reporting.
- Assist with ad hoc commercial projects as required.
Qualifications & Skills:
We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys turning numbers into decisions. If you get a quiet sense of pride from spotting the story behind the data, challenging assumptions constructively, and helping non-finance teams make smarter calls, you'll fit right in here. You'll thrive in a role where commercial insight matters, relationships are built on trust, and a well-timed piece of analysis can turn you into the person everyone wants in the room. While not every box is essential, the following qualities would make you an ideal candidate:
- Qualified Accountant (CIMA, ACCA, ACA)
- Previous experience within a finance business partnering, or financial analysis role.

- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing environment where priorities can evolve.
- Advanced Excel skills and strong attention to detail.
