• Build financial models for new proposals and business cases, testing the assumptions behind them
• Advise on resource allocation and service planning decisions
• Identify savings and revenue improvements and track them through implementation
• Deliver to month-end and year-end schedules and improve how the work gets done

• CA or CPA qualified
• Three years or more as a Finance Business Partner, or in a closely related commercial finance role
