Finance Business Partner

Walsall £70,000 + Company Bonus Hybrid Working

SF Partners is partnering with a leading global organisation in Walsall to recruit a high-profile Finance Business Partner position. If you re a Finance Business Partner who wants to actually influence a business rather than spend your life explaining last month s numbers, this is worth a conversation.

Sitting close to the operational leadership team and reporting to the Head of Commercial Finance , you ll be expected to get under the skin of business performance, challenge decisions, spot opportunities and turn financial information into actions.

The role:

You ll become a key finance partner to senior operational stakeholders, giving them the commercial insight they need to make better decisions and improve performance.

You ll take ownership of:

• Partnering senior operational leaders and challenging them on performance, profitability and commercial decisions
• Getting behind the numbers identifying what is driving performance, where margin is being won or lost and where the opportunities sit
• Building insightful profitability, cost and performance analysis that genuinely influences decisions
• Developing forecasting and financial models to support business planning and strategic decision-making
• Improving management information and making better use of finance and operational data
• Driving improvements across finance processes, systems and reporting
• Supporting wider business change, including ERP development and implementation
• Getting involved in due diligence and the integration of acquired businesses
• Supervising and developing two Finance Analysts

Who we're looking for:

• You ll be a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with strong commercial instincts and the confidence to operate with senior people outside finance.
• You don t need to be an established people manager. If you re a strong Finance Business Partner ready to take on your first supervisory responsibility, we d absolutely like to hear from you.
• More important is your ability to challenge, influence and communicate.
• You ll probably be the person who asks the extra question when the numbers don t quite make sense. You ll be comfortable challenging an operational director when necessary, but commercially astute enough to know how to take people with you.
• Experience within a sizeable, fast-moving or operationally complex business would be particularly relevant, as would exposure to ERP development, business transformation or acquisition integration.

Why consider it?:

Because this has the breadth to be much more than another FBP role. You ll have senior-level exposure, genuine influence over commercial decisions, two analysts beneath you and the opportunity to get involved in projects well beyond the monthly reporting cycle.
