• Manage budgets worth around £10m–£15m across your portfolio, monitoring performance and investigating variances

• Produce monthly management accounts, including journals, accruals and financial analysis

• Lead budgeting and forecasting cycles, providing regular reporting and clear recommendations

• Work directly with budget holders to explain financial performance, resolve issues and support decision-making

• Support costings, bids, tenders and business cases as opportunities arise

• Coordinate year-end activity for your services, including responding to audit queries

• Look for ways to improve financial processes and make reporting more useful to service teams

What you’ll bring

• Confidence analysing financial information and explaining it clearly to non-finance colleagues

• Experience supporting budget holders and providing practical, solution-focused advice

If you’re a developing finance professional who enjoys working with people as much as working with numbers, this is an opportunity to build your business partnering experience in a role where your advice can have a meaningful impact. Experience in the charity, public or healthcare sectors could be particularly relevant, but transferable experience from other environments will also be considered.
