Finance Business Partner — Commercial & Cost Control
Do you love digging into the numbers behind the numbers?
We're looking for a Finance Business Partner to join our Group Finance team at our Essex HQ, reporting to the Group Finance Director.
This isn't a back-office reporting role. You'll own variance analysis and forecasting that feeds straight into the monthly board pack, embed yourself as a genuine thinking partner to our Retail division (with a focus on our growing Showroom and Contract teams), and support forecasting across Wholesale and Logistics.
You'll also take direct ownership of cost control across our outbound logistics operation — focusing on outbound logistics expenditure, recovering incorrect charges, and bringing real rigor to one of the most material and controllable cost lines in the business.
What you'll bring:
- Commercial finance, FP&A, or business partnering experience
- Strong Excel/financial modelling skills — comfortable building forecasts from scratch
- A sharp eye for auditing and challenging cost data, not just reviewing summaries
- Confidence presenting financial insight to non-finance stakeholders
- Comfort juggling multiple divisions and shifting priorities
- Part-qualified/qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) desirable — strong QBEs welcome too
This is a fixed-term contract (9–12 months) with intent to convert to permanent based on performance and business need.
If you're commercially curious, detail-obsessed, and want a role where your analysis directly shapes decisions — we'd love to hear from you.
Pay: £50,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- Company events
- Employee discount

Work Location: In person
