Senior Finance Business Partner / Commercial Finance Manager | Stockport (high degree of remote working – 1 or 2 days per week office based) | £85,000 – £95,000 + suite of benefits

Are you a commercially focused, ambitious qualified accountant looking for something rewarding and interesting? This is a rapid growth PE backed business operating within a ‘green space’. A group delivering exciting international growth within a sector that makes a genuine positive environmental impact.

This setting allows you to make a real difference.

Your role sits outside of central finance so your time, energy and commerciality can be spent focused on added value rather than core month end reporting or financial control.

You’ll be a key business partner to the divisional board and wider leadership team. You’ll be a vital sounding board and FBP to the managing director – providing insight, MI and key commentary to inform strategic decision making. It’s a role that actually impacts decisions and direction and a chance to really influence growth.

It’s hands on and ‘in the action’ you will be drilling into the data to get a clear view of the drivers of revenue and profit. Hammering into the financials surrounding projects and getting a valuable handle on what can impact new business, price models, forecasts, cost variances…

The role is fully fledged senior level business partnering. Truly business facing, involved, value add stuff.

It suits someone driven and clearly commercially aware. Someone who thrives in a role where they have the autonomy and freedom to get under the skin of the numbers. An individual who can confidently speak to colleagues across the business and projects to really get behind the MI and board pack.

It’s a modern, grown up and successful group with an outstanding brand in their sector. A business delivering impressive results, investing readily in future success.

A rare senior business partnering remit with clear scope to progress and a chance to be involved in tactical and strategic decision discussions from week 1…

You will need:

• A clear demonstrable track record of success in a role as senior FBP or commercial FM.
• ACCA, CIMA or ACA and solid core grounding in financial reporting and control.
• Outstanding commercial awareness – this is a role for someone with a real interest in the drivers of success and failure within an aspirational business.
• Ability to build excellent working relationships with colleagues across the business – you will have previous experience of being the bridge between finance and non finance areas of a business.
• Experience of professional services (where utilisation is a key metric!) would be very useful.
• Natural proactivity – you will be in the office 1 maybe 2 days per week and your colleagues will often be communicating via online video calls… therefore ability to be a team player but while working with high levels of autonomy is critical.

This is an epic role if you love commercially-focused business partnering and see yourself as a commercial FD of the future
