Finance Business Partner

Senior Finance Business Partner — West Yorkshire — up to £70,000 + benefits

A growing business is looking for a Senior Finance Business Partner to join their team and sit at the interface between finance and the operational side of the business, turning the numbers into decisions.

The Role:

You'll be the finance lead for one or more operational areas, working directly with department heads and senior non-finance stakeholders to give them the commercial insight they need to run their part of the business. This isn't a back-office reporting role — you'll be expected to challenge, question and influence, not just produce numbers on request.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Owning budgeting, forecasting and management accounts for your area, working closely with budget holders through the cycle
• Producing management information and KPI reporting that's built to be used, not just read
• Running variance analysis and flagging risks and opportunities before they show up in the numbers
• Business partnering with senior operational stakeholders, building the kind of relationship where finance is asked in early, not brought in to explain a number after the fact
• Supporting investment appraisals and business cases for capital spend and new initiatives
• Getting involved in wider finance projects as the business grows — process improvement, system changes, reporting uplifts

What We're Looking For:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
• Solid business partnering experience, ideally outside pure transactional finance
• Comfortable challenging and influencing senior stakeholders who don't have a finance background
• Strong Excel and financial modelling skills
• Someone who wants to build relationships and stay close to the business, not just close the books

What's On Offer

• Salary up to £70,000, plus benefits
• Hybrid working, based in West Yorkshire
• A genuinely commercial role with visibility across the senior team
• Room to grow as the business grows
