A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Finance Business Partner to join a large and complex organisation supporting a key operational area, with a particular focus on property services and asset-related programmes. Finance plays an important role in ensuring strong financial oversight, insight and challenge as the organisation manages significant operational activity and evolving regulatory requirements.

Reporting to the Head of Financial Business Partnering, this role partners closely with senior budget holders and operational leaders across property and maintenance functions. You will provide clear financial insight to support decision-making, strengthen financial planning and ensure robust reporting across these areas.

This is a broad role offering strong exposure to senior stakeholders and the opportunity to influence operational and strategic decisions through high-quality financial analysis and business partnering.

What you’ll do

  • Act as the key finance partner to senior stakeholders across property services and operational teams

  • Support the annual budgeting process and monthly forecasting, ensuring clear understanding of key cost drivers

  • Produce monthly management accounts commentary and financial reporting for allocated operational areas

  • Analyse movements between actuals, budgets and forecasts, providing clear explanations and challenge to budget holders

  • Work closely with operational teams to monitor spend, highlight risks and identify opportunities for improvement

  • Deliver ad-hoc financial analysis and insight to support operational programmes and projects

What you’ll need

  • ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or equivalent) with relevant post-qualification experience

  • Experience in a Finance Business Partnering or Management Accounting role within a reasonably complex organisation

  • Strong budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis capability

  • Confidence working with senior stakeholders and providing constructive challenge

  • Advanced Excel and financial systems experience, with the ability to analyse large datasets

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex financial information for non-financial teams

Experience supporting operational, property, maintenance or asset-focused teams would be beneficial, though the organisation is primarily focused on candidates who can demonstrate strong business partnering capability within complex environments.

If you’re looking for a role with meaningful stakeholder exposure and the opportunity to support major operational programmes, this could be an excellent next step.
