Finance Business Partner

• Merseyside (Hybrid) 12 month FTC
• £50k - £55K + Bonus + Benefits
• CIMA/ACCA

Are you a sharp, commercially minded accountant who loves getting under the skin of operational performance and can commit to a 12 month FTC?

Do you enjoy partnering with factory teams, challenging the numbers, and driving improvements that actually make a difference? If so — this one’s for you.

The Role We’re recruiting on behalf of a multisite organisation seeking a high-impact Finance Business Partner to support its operational and manufacturing teams. This is a fast-paced, hands-on role where you’ll sit at the heart of performance, applying real commercial thinking to real-world operations. You’ll be the go-to finance contact for site leadership, using data, insight and strong financial controls to influence decisions and improve results.

?? What You’ll Be Doing

• Owning the monthly management accounts for allocated operational areas.
• Producing accruals, prepayments, provisions and key month-end journals.
• Delivering variance analysis with clear, actionable insight for non-finance managers.
• Partnering with operations to challenge spend, identify efficiencies, and support performance.
• Reviewing and reporting on overhead cost centres.
• Supporting capital projects, including asset creation, monitoring, and depreciation.
• Ensuring accurate balance sheet reconciliations and adherence to internal controls.
• Helping shape budgets and forecasts across operational teams.
• Driving process improvement, speeding up reporting cycles and enhancing data quality.

?? About You You’re not just a number-cruncher. You’re a communicator. A challenger. Someone who wants to understand why, not just what.

• Qualified (CIMA/ACCA/ACA or equivalent).
• Strong analytical skills and advanced Excel.
• Confident working with large data sets and operational stakeholders.
• Comfortable getting out from behind the desk and into the business.
• Proactive, energetic, and resilient — able to influence at all levels.
• Willing to travel to UK sites occasionally.

Interested? If you’re a commercially minded accountant who wants to step beyond reporting and become a true Finance Business Partner, we’d love to hear from you.
