Citadel Source is delighted to partner a long-standing client to support the recruitment of their new Finance Business Partner.
The client
Our client is a growing organisation, taking on increasingly complex, high‑value work. To support their expansion, they are developing a central finance capability that will enhance oversight, bring greater consistency and deliver clearer, more meaningful financial insight as the business evolves. It’s a collaborative, fast‑paced environment, well suited to someone who enjoys influencing how financial decisions are shaped and improving the way a business understands its performance.
The role
This role will sit within a newly established group‑level finance function focused on improving financial governance, reporting quality and forward‑looking analysis. You’ll begin by embedding yourself within the UK finance team to understand systems, processes and what “good” looks like, before broadening your remit to support activity across the rest of the business. The position requires someone who can build strong relationships, challenge assumptions and help teams think more clearly about financial impact. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders, providing insight that supports planning, performance management and decision‑making.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About you
You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA, CIMA or ACCA) with experience gained in either practice or industry, ideally through audit or a finance partnering role. You take a structured, process‑driven approach, with a strong focus on controls, governance and identifying both risks and opportunities. You’re comfortable asking difficult questions and have the confidence to challenge constructively, always looking for ways to improve accuracy, visibility and accountability. Building strong relationships comes naturally to you, as does working with people across different teams and backgrounds.
As the Finance Business Partner, your role will include, but will not be limited to:
- Producing clear, insight‑driven financial reporting and analysis
- Supporting teams with forecasting, variance analysis and cash‑flow considerations
- Reviewing risks and key financial indicators
- Strengthening financial governance and helping embed consistent practices
- Working with commercial stakeholders to support on pricing and contract terms
- Supporting assessments of new opportunities to ensure they are realistic and financially viable
- Challenging assumptions and encouraging more robust financial thinking
- Contributing to reporting improvements and wider process development
