Our Client, a high-growth, margin-driven FMCG business is looking to recruit a Commercial Finance Business Partner into a small, high-impact finance team. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified accountant who enjoys being close to the commercial engine of a business and wants a role that can genuinely evolve.

The Opportunity
This role sits within a collaborative commercial finance team, reporting to a senior finance leader and working closely with the Finance Director and wider leadership team. The environment is hands-on, fast-paced, and highly visible - finance is embedded in the business rather than operating at arm's length.
You will have responsibility for core commercial finance activities while also partnering with non-finance stakeholders to provide insight, challenge, and support decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

Commercial Finance & Business Partnering
Preparation and consolidation of forecasts and financial scenarios
Providing clear commercial insight to non-finance stakeholders
Gross margin analysis and performance tracking
Supporting pricing activity and customer tenders
Identifying opportunities to improve profitability and cost efficiency
Financial modelling to support commercial and strategic decisions
Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders across the business
Reporting, Control & Planning
Month-end and year-end reporting responsibilities
Weekly cashflow forecasting and management
Supporting the annual budget and long-term planning process
Balance sheet review and control
Supporting audit processes and maintaining strong financial controls
Continuous improvement of systems, processes, and reporting

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded finance professional seeking greater exposure to senior stakeholders and real commercial decision-making. The role offers genuine scope to grow and evolve, within a collaborative, non-hierarchical finance team where your insight will have visible impact in a margin-critical business. If you are looking to move beyond pure reporting and step into a true business partnering role, this position offers both challenge and long-term development.
