Finance Business Partner required for excellent FMCG business based in Merseyside. Our client has an excellent reputation and is looking to hire a finance business partner to work with operations and drive business performance. This is an excellent opportunity to join a business with a brilliant reputation in a value adding role.
This role is responsible for producing financial analysis, financial models and forecasts to improve results and decision making. It requires an individual with the confidence and experience to influence people and drive results within a multi-site operational environment.
The role requires someone who likes to get beneath the surface of the numbers and truly understand the moving parts which are driving results. The successful candidate needs to be someone who can not only perform detailed financial analysis, but can also identify actions from this and work with management to make changes. The successful candidate will be equally good at communication and managing relationships as well as at financial analysis and accounting.
The role will report into the Financial Controller, but other key stakeholders will be the Operations Director and Regional Directors who will be looking for this person to work closely alongside them to understand their numbers and drive results.
This is a key role within our rapidly growing business and it will have immediate and regular exposure to the directors. As such there is a very clear opportunity for someone to make a strong impression and progress their career within our business.
This role would suit an experienced accountant who is much more than just a number cruncher and has the ability to challenge and improve processes and to influence people at all levels. It may also be suited to a part qualified or recently qualified accountant who is hungry for an opportunity to operate in this type of commercial role.
