JSS are supporting a well-established business based in Aylesbury in the search for a Finance Business Partner to join its commercial finance team on a 9-month FTC. This is an excellent opportunity to join the organisation during a significant period of transformation, where you will play a key role in supporting financial performance, driving commercial insight, and influencing decision-making across the business. There is also potential for longer-term opportunities for the successful individual as the finance function continues to evolve.
Reporting to the Head of FP&A, you will partner closely with senior stakeholders across the Commercial and HR functions, delivering meaningful analysis, robust financial reporting, forecasting, and strategic support. Acting as a trusted business partner, you will provide constructive challenge, identify risks and opportunities, and help shape key commercial decisions.
This role would suit a commercially-minded finance professional who enjoys operating in a fast-paced environment, building strong stakeholder relationships, and influencing business performance through high-quality financial insight rather than purely traditional management accounting.
