Finance Business Partner
Distinct RecruitmentSenior Finance Business Partner — West Yorkshire — up to £70,000 + benefits A growing business is looking for a Senior Finance Business Partner to join their team and sit at the interface between finance and the operational side of the business, turning the numbers into decisions. The Role: You'll be the finance lead for one or more operational areas, working directly with department heads and senior non-finance stakeholders to give them the commercial insight they need to run their part of the business. This isn't a back-office reporting role — you'll be expected to challenge, question and influence, not just produce numbers on request. What You'll Be Doing:
- Owning budgeting, forecasting and management accounts for your area, working closely with budget holders through the cycle
- Producing management information and KPI reporting that's built to be used, not just read
- Running variance analysis and flagging risks and opportunities before they show up in the numbers
- Business partnering with senior operational stakeholders, building the kind of relationship where finance is asked in early, not brought in to explain a number after the fact
- Supporting investment appraisals and business cases for capital spend and new initiatives
- Getting involved in wider finance projects as the business grows — process improvement, system changes, reporting uplifts What We're Looking For:
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
- Solid business partnering experience, ideally outside pure transactional finance
- Comfortable challenging and influencing senior stakeholders who don't have a finance background
- Strong Excel and financial modelling skills
- Someone who wants to build relationships and stay close to the business, not just close the books What's On Offer
- Salary up to £70,000, plus benefits
- Hybrid working, based in West Yorkshire
- A genuinely commercial role with visibility across the senior team
- Room to grow as the business grows If this looks like the right next step, or you know someone it might suit, get in touch.
