Finance Business Partner

If you’re an ACA who values judgement, technical quality, and applying finance where it really matters, this role is worth serious consideration.

This organisation has built a finance function that is respected across the social housing sector for its technical credibility, strong leadership, and long-term retention. The finance leadership team understands the strengths ACA-trained accountants bring - from professional judgement and rigour to structured thinking and challenge - and has a strong track record of helping people successfully transition into impactful, commercial finance roles.

Whether you’re still in practice or already in your first move out, this role offers depth, challenge, and exposure that many commercial roles simply don’t.

You’ll work alongside senior finance leaders who expect high standards, value clear thinking, and rely on finance to shape decisions early - not just confirm them at the end.

Why this role appeals to strong ACA candidates

• A technically robust environment that respects professional judgement

• Real exposure to complex accounting, governance, and risk

• The opportunity to move beyond audit into genuine business influence

• Senior stakeholders who engage finance early and welcome challenge

• Clear development pathways into senior finance leadership

The role

• Apply accounting standards in a complex, real-world organisation

• Support forecasting, planning, and high-quality financial insight

• Contribute to audits, statutory reporting, and governance processes

• Provide commercial and technical challenge to stakeholders

• Help strengthen financial quality and decision-making

What you’ll bring

• ACA qualification (practice or post-practice background)

• Strong technical grounding and professional scepticism

• Curiosity about how finance operates beyond audit

• Confidence engaging with senior, non-finance stakeholders

• High standards and appetite to keep developing

Early applications are strongly encouraged, as high-quality candidates will be reviewed and progressed on a rolling basis.
