South West London – Hybrid Working
We're supporting a growing fashion and e-commerce business that is looking to appoint an experienced Finance Business Partner on an interim basis to support its commercial finance team during a busy period.
This is a broad role combining commercial analysis and business partnering with some hands-on finance responsibilities. You'll work closely with teams across Marketing, Merchandising, Trading, and Operations, helping them understand performance, manage budgets, and make better commercial decisions.
We're looking for someone who understands the pace of an e-commerce or retail environment and can get into the detail behind sales, margin, stock, and customer performance while still being comfortable supporting month-end and management reporting.
The Role
Reporting into senior finance leadership, you'll provide day-to-day financial support and insight to key commercial teams across the business.
- Help analyse trading performance
- Support budgeting and forecasting
- Work with budget holders to understand variances and improve financial performance
Alongside the commercial work, you'll remain close to the numbers and support month-end activities to ensure reporting is accurate and delivered on time.
