Senior Finance Business Partner – FP&A & Commercial Performance (Fixed-Term Contract)
Location: South London, near Bromley
The Opportunity
We are recruiting an experienced, commercially focused Senior Finance Business Partner to join an established, project-driven business looking to strengthen its financial planning, forecasting and commercial performance capabilities.
Working closely with the Finance Director, CEO and wider leadership team, this is a highly visible, hands-on position offering the opportunity to make a measurable impact on business performance.
The successful candidate will go beyond traditional financial reporting, using data to understand what drives revenue, costs and profitability, challenge commercial assumptions and identify opportunities to improve financial outcomes.
This role would suit a qualified accountant who enjoys getting beneath the numbers, working closely with operational teams and taking ownership of improvements rather than simply reporting on historical performance.
Following a recent acquisition, this is a key appointment focused on delivering tangible improvements within the first six months.
Experience & Qualifications
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), or substantial equivalent relevant experience.
- Strong background in FP&A, commercial finance, finance business partnering or management accounting.
- Proven experience developing financial forecasts, budgets, models and management information.
- Advanced Excel and financial modelling capabilities.
- Strong understanding of P&L performance, gross margin, EBITDA and operational cost drivers.
- Experience working closely with commercial and operational stakeholders.
- Ability to analyse complex financial information and present clear recommendations to senior management.
- Evidence of improving financial reporting, forecasting or business performance.
- Experience within a project-based, operationally complex or service-led business.
- Exposure to project profitability, labour costs, resource utilisation and subcontractor expenditure.
- Experience using Power BI or similar reporting and business intelligence tools.
- A track record of reporting automation, data improvement or financial systems enhancement.
- Experience working within a group or international reporting environment.
- Involvement in business improvement, transformation or operational change initiatives.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This is an opportunity to take a central role in improving the financial visibility and commercial performance of an established business.
With direct exposure to the Finance Director and CEO, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to influence important decisions, develop stronger financial processes and deliver improvements that have a genuine impact on profitability.
