Senior Finance Business Partner — West Yorkshire — up to £70,000 + benefits
A growing business is looking for a Senior Finance Business Partner to join their team and sit at the interface between finance and the operational side of the business, turning the numbers into decisions.
The Role
You'll be the finance lead for one or more operational areas, working directly with department heads and senior non-finance stakeholders to give them the commercial insight they need to run their part of the business. This isn't a back-office reporting role — you'll be expected to challenge, question and influence, not just produce numbers on request.
What You'll Be Doing
- Owning budgeting, forecasting and management accounts for your area, working closely with budget holders through the cycle
- Producing management information and KPI reporting that's built to be used, not just read
- Running variance analysis and flagging risks and opportunities before they show up in the numbers
- Business partnering with senior operational stakeholders, building the kind of relationship where finance is asked in early, not brought in to explain a number after the fact
- Supporting investment appraisals and business cases for capital spend and new initiatives
- Getting involved in wider finance projects as the business grows — process improvement, system changes, reporting uplifts
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
