• Are you ACA/ACCA/CIMA Qualified with first class training or en route to Qualification?
• Are you keen to drive your personal career development in a market leading, multi-national, manufacturing business that will actively recognise and reward your developments and successes?
• Are you looking for a key role within an modern business that combines both financial analysis and business partnering in a commercial environment?
• Are you a bright, ambitious and personable individual who is seeking an employer who can offer a genuine continuity that is in-keeping with your own aspirations for progression?

If so, we'd love to hear from you. We have been appointed to recruit for an established, high quality, modern business within the manufacturing / FMCG sector. My client has Group offices in multiple international locations but for the purpose of this role, you will be based in their modern offices on the outskirts of Stoke-on-Trent. As a result of continued growth over the last 3 years, my client is seeking to add to their team with the appointment of a newly created role - a Finance Business Partner / Commercial Financial Analyst.

An integral role to this dynamic and enterprising business, you will be tasked with building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders in order to provide financial analysis to support business investment decisions. A challenging and varied commercial role, this is an exciting career opportunity in which you will be 'hands on' with a common sense approach, possess excellent communication and people skills, be of analytical mind, work well under pressure, demonstrate an enthusiastic approach to change and a drive to pursue innovative ideas. You will report directly into an experienced Head of Commercial who has a great track record of development and succession planning. With a remit that offers genuine responsibility from Day 1, the successful candidate will play a key role in analysing commercials that can shape pricing and influence decision making. You will be well placed to further progress your career.

Drawing upon your skills, you will be responsible for commercial reporting and analysis across a range of products, customers and categories. You will build meaningful relationships with key departments such as Sales, and work directly with the Customer, through a 'partnership' approach. Responsibilities will extend to detailed reporting, rate volume mix analysis and commentary of sales performance by segment, product, territory and sales team. You will be tasked with identification, analysis and communication of key sales trends. Furthermore, you will review and develop existing reporting to improve the commercial understanding and operation of the Sales team. You will be a capable Excel user and ideally have knowledge of open-book accounting.

Due to the profile of this role, my client is ideally seeking a CIMA/ACCA/ACA Qualified Accountant but will seriously consider applications from Part Qualified/QBE candidates. You will be seeking the next role to continue your development, possess outstanding people skills, a commercial nous and a passion for what you do. There is a modern, free thinking, and positive culture within the business. This is an exciting platform for a bright, ambitious and highly motivated Commercial Financial Analyst to become part of the success story; playing an integral role. Offering a competitive salary, pension, free parking and generous holiday entitlement, this is an outstanding commercial opportunity.

To progress your interest, apply without delay.
