The Opportunity:

This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified Finance Business Partner to join a growing IT business near Lincoln in a commercially focused role with real influence.

You will take ownership of budgeting, forecasting and financial planning, while partnering closely with operational and senior stakeholders across the business. This is not a role where you simply report the numbers. You will be expected to understand what is driving performance, challenge assumptions, improve visibility and help the business make better decisions.

The company operates in a fast-moving technology environment, so this role would suit someone who enjoys variety, pace and working with people outside of finance. You will be the link between finance and the wider business, translating numbers into clear insight and helping stakeholders understand performance, opportunities and risks.

The Role

As a Finance Business Partner, you will play a key role in driving commercial performance and improving financial planning across the business.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Owning the budgeting and forecasting process


• Producing financial analysis, insight and commentary for senior stakeholders


• Acting as a trusted finance partner to non-finance teams


• Supporting commercial decision-making with clear, accurate financial information


• Challenging performance, assumptions and forecasts where appropriate


• Identifying trends, risks and opportunities across the business


• Improving reporting, forecasting accuracy and financial visibility


• Supporting month-end reporting and management information


• Helping the business understand the financial impact of operational decisions

We are looking for a qualified accountant with the confidence to operate as a true Finance Business Partner.

You will need to be:

• Fully qualified: CIMA, ACCA or ACA


• Experienced in budgeting, forecasting and financial planning


• Experience within a manufacturing or environment with stock would be a distinct advantage


• Strong analytically, with the ability to turn data into meaningful insight


• Confident working with senior stakeholders and non-finance colleagues


• Commercially minded, proactive and comfortable challenging where needed


• Able to explain financial information clearly and practically


• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving business


• Advanced with Excel and confident using finance systems

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who wants to move into a role where they can make a visible impact.

You will be joining a business where finance is seen as a key part of decision-making, not just a reporting function. The role offers variety, ownership and the chance to work closely with senior leaders across the company.

You will have the opportunity to shape the budgeting and forecasting process, improve financial insight and become a key voice in how the business plans for future growth.
