Job Description

We're partnering with a growing professional services firm to appoint a technically strong, commercially focused Finance Business Partner. This is a high-impact role working directly with fee earners, where you'll play a critical part in pricing, tendering, and financial modelling for new business.

This role is particularly well suited to someone making a first or second move from a Big 4 environment, looking to step into a more commercial, forward-looking position with real influence over business decisions.

This is not a traditional finance role. We're looking for someone who is equally comfortable partnering with stakeholders as they are writing code, building models, and manipulating data to drive better decisions.

Key Responsibilities

Build robust financial models to assess profitability, scenario planning, and commercial risk

Write and utilise SQL (or similar) to extract and manipulate large, complex datasets

Develop data models and dashboards using tools such as Tableau to deliver actionable insight

Take a hands-on approach to data manipulation, automation, and model building

Identify and deliver process improvements, including automation and implementation of new tools

Act as a translator between data and business strategy, influencing decision-making

What We're Looking For

ACA / CA / equivalent qualified, ideally trained within a Big 4 or leading practice environment

Strong grounding in financial analysis, modelling, and working with large datasets

Experience with coding / scripting (e.g. SQL, Python, or similar) and a genuine interest in data

Advanced data manipulation skills - comfortable working with complex, and sometimes imperfect, datasets

Experience with Tableau or similar BI tools

A desire to move beyond reporting into a commercial, business-facing role

Strong communication skills with the ability to influence and challenge senior stakeholders

Why Apply?

Ideal move for someone transitioning from Big 4 into industry, offering real commercial exposure

A genuinely data-driven finance role, not just reporting

High visibility with senior stakeholders and direct impact on revenue generation

Opportunity to shape and improve modelling, pricing, and data capabilities

A business investing in technology, automation and better ways of working

If you're coming from a practice background and want to apply your technical and analytical skillset in a more dynamic, commercially focused environment, this is an opportunity to step into a role with real impact.
