We are partnered with a fast-scaling technology business who are looking for a Finance Business Partner who thrives in a data-heavy, commercially driven environment. This role sits at the heart of the organisation, partnering directly with senior leaders to drive clarity, challenge assumptions, and support strategic decision-making.

The role will be the go-to finance contact for operational and commercial teams, ensuring costs are understood, allocated correctly, and used to inform real business outcomes. If you enjoy turning complex data into actionable insight - and want genuine exposure to the SLT - this is the role.

Key Responsibilities Include:

  • Own and enhance cost allocation models, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and alignment with business activity.

  • Work with large, complex data sets, building reporting and insight that supports operational and commercial decision-making.

  • Act as a true business partner to senior stakeholders, challenging constructively and influencing strategy.

  • Deliver monthly performance packs, variance analysis, and forward-looking commentary.

  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modelling across multiple business units.

  • Drive continuous improvement in financial processes, reporting quality, and data integrity.

  • Provide clear, concise financial insight to the Senior Leadership Team, with regular exposure and direct interaction.
Skills & Experience Required:
  • Strong background in management accounting, FP&A, or commercial finance.

  • Proven experience working with large data sets and building meaningful insight.

  • Excellent stakeholder management - confident, credible, and able to challenge senior leaders.

  • A qualified accountant with at least 2 years post qualification experience (ACA / CIMA / ACCA)

  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to simplify complexity.

  • Experience in cost allocation, cost modelling, or multi-entity environments.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving tech or SaaS-style business.
The successful applicant will be commercially minded, proactive, have a problem-solving approach, be highly collaborative, with the ability to build trust quickly. You will also be detail-driven, curious, energetic, and motivated by partnering closely with the business.
