Citadel Source is delighted to partner with a long-standing client to support the recruitment of their new Finance Business Partner on a 12-month FTC basis.
The client
Our client is an ambitious and acquisitive organisation that has experienced significant growth through a combination of organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. As the business continues to scale, they are investing in their finance capability to improve visibility, strengthen controls and create a more integrated, commercially focused finance function. Operating within a fast-paced, evolving environment, this role offers the opportunity to support the business, drive process improvements and help shape a finance function capable of supporting the next phase of growth. It is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys navigating complexity, influencing decision-making and playing a key role in a business transformation.
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.

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’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.

- Partnering with operational and commercial stakeholders to provide financial insight, challenge and support informed decision-making.
- Producing accurate, commercially focused reporting, analysis and KPI dashboards to drive business performance.
- Leading forecasting, budgeting and cash flow planning processes, providing clear visibility of financial performance and risk.
- Reviewing key financial metrics, identifying risks and opportunities, and delivering actionable recommendations to senior stakeholders.
- Supporting commercial initiatives through pricing analysis, contract reviews and profitability assessments.
- Evaluating new business opportunities, investments and projects to ensure commercial viability and financial robustness.
- Driving a culture of accountability by constructively challenging assumptions and promoting stronger financial decision-making.
- Enhancing financial controls, governance and reporting frameworks to improve consistency and compliance across the organisation.
- Supporting finance transformation initiatives, including process improvements, systems development and automation opportunities.
