We’re working with a well-established import and distribution business with a strong reputation for operational excellence and long-term customer partnerships. They’re now looking to appoint a Finance Business Partner into a highly visible, commercially focused role sitting right at the heart of operations.
The Role
This isn’t a sit-behind-the-desk finance role. You’ll be embedded with operational teams across multiple depots, acting as a true business partner—driving performance, challenging costs, and helping the business make better, faster decisions. You’ll work closely with depot managers and senior stakeholders, giving you real influence over profitability and performance.
What You’ll Be Doing
Partnering with operational teams to drive financial performance
Delivering meaningful monthly reporting & insight (not just numbers)
Analysing costs, margins, and performance drivers
Leading budgeting & forecasting at depot level
Challenging cost base (labour, fuel, fleet, overheads)
Supporting month-end including management accounts, accruals & controls
Driving improvements in financial processes and reporting
What They’re Looking For
Part-qualified (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) looking to qualify
Experience in management accounts + commercial finance / business partnering
Strong analytical mindset with the confidence to challenge
Experience in a multi-site, operational environment is a big plus
Advanced Excel / good systems exposure
Why This Role?
Genuine commercial exposure – not just reporting
High visibility with senior stakeholders
Opportunity to influence operational performance
Growing, stable business with a strong reputation
Clear scope to develop into a more senior finance role
Interested?
