Finance Business Partner \n Walsall | £70,000 + Company Bonus | Hybrid Working \n SF Partners is partnering with a leading global organisation in Walsall to recruit a high-profile Finance Business Partner position. If you’re a Finance Business Partner who wants to actually influence a business rather than spend your life explaining last month’s numbers, this is worth a conversation. \n Sitting close to the operational leadership team and reporting to the Head of Commercial Finance, you’ll be expected to get under the skin of business performance, challenge decisions, spot opportunities and turn financial information into actions. \n \n The role: \n You’ll become a key finance partner to senior operational stakeholders, giving them the commercial insight they need to make better decisions and improve performance. \n You’ll take ownership of: \n\n • Partnering senior operational leaders and challenging them on performance, profitability and commercial decisions\n, • Getting behind the numbers – identifying what is driving performance, where margin is being won or lost and where the opportunities sit\n, • Building insightful profitability, cost and performance analysis that genuinely influences decisions\n, • Developing forecasting and financial models to support business planning and strategic decision-making\n, • Improving management information and making better use of finance and operational data\n, • Driving improvements across finance processes, systems and reporting\n, • Supporting wider business change, including ERP development and implementation\n, • Getting involved in due diligence and the integration of acquired businesses\n, • Supervising and developing two Finance Analysts\n\n \n Who we're looking for: \n\n • You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with strong commercial instincts and the confidence to operate with senior people outside finance.\n, • You don’t need to be an established people manager. If you’re a strong Finance Business Partner ready to take on your first supervisory responsibility, we’d absolutely like to hear from you.\n, • More important is your ability to challenge, influence and communicate.\n, • You’ll probably be the person who asks the extra question when the numbers don’t quite make sense. You’ll be comfortable challenging an operational director when necessary, but commercially astute enough to know how to take people with you.\n, • Experience within a sizeable, fast-moving or operationally complex business would be particularly relevant, as would exposure to ERP development, business transformation or acquisition integration.\n\n Why consider it?: \n Because this has the breadth to be much more than another FBP role. You’ll have senior-level exposure, genuine influence over commercial decisions, two analysts beneath you and the opportunity to get involved in projects well beyond the monthly reporting cycle. \n

\n Our client is a full-service UK law firm with a long-established and highly regarded commercial and specialty insurance practice, acting for a recognised roster of insurers, MGAs, brokers and corporate policyholders across the London market and the wider UK.

Head of Finance \n Location: Castle Bromwich \n Salary: £85,000 - £100,000 + Benefits \n \n A senior finance leadership role where you'll sit at the heart of a substantial manufacturing operation, partnering directly with the Site Director and influencing the commercial and operational decisions that drive its performance. \n We are recruiting a Head of Finance for an established and successful manufacturing business with significant operations in the West Midlands. \n This is a broad, visible role with responsibility for the finance function and a genuine seat at the leadership table. Working closely with the Site Managing Director, you'll provide the financial insight, challenge and commercial perspective behind decisions spanning operational performance, profitability, investment and the future development of the business. \n You'll also lead and develop the finance team, maintain a strong financial control environment and ensure the business has the quality of reporting and analysis required to make well-informed decisions. \n This isn't a role where finance operates at arm's length from the operation. You'll be close to what's happening across the site, working directly with the people making the decisions and using finance to influence what happens next. \n \n What you'll be taking on: \n A major part of your role will be partnering with the Site Managing Director and wider leadership team, helping them understand what's driving performance and where the opportunities, risks and priorities sit. \n Alongside this, you will: \n\n • Lead, develop and get the best from the site finance team.\n, • Act as the senior finance partner to operational and commercial leaders across the business.\n, • Own the budgeting, forecasting and longer-term financial planning cycle.\n, • Turn financial and operational data into clear insight that supports better decision-making.\n, • Get underneath manufacturing performance, identifying the drivers behind margins, costs, efficiencies and variances.\n, • Support the Site Director with business cases, capital expenditure, investment decisions and strategic initiatives.\n, • Maintain strong oversight of cash flow, working capital and financial risk.\n, • Ensure the business operates within a robust financial control environment.\n, • Take ownership of statutory reporting, year-end, audit, taxation and associated compliance requirements.\n, • Improve finance processes, reporting and systems where there is an opportunity to make them more effective.\n, • Present financial performance, risks and opportunities to senior leadership and Board-level stakeholders.\n, • Oversee the Company's statutory and Company Secretarial requirements.\n\n \n What we're looking for: \n We're looking for a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) who has already established strong credibility within a manufacturing environment. \n You may already be a Head of Finance, or you could be an experienced Financial Controller ready to step into a broader finance leadership position. Either way, this role needs someone who can combine strong financial control with genuine operational and commercial influence. \n You'll understand the realities of manufacturing: margins, stock, working capital, operational performance and investment. More importantly, you'll know how to use that understanding to challenge and support the people running the operation. \n You'll be comfortable working closely with a Site Managing Director and senior operational leaders, able to challenge constructively and confident enough to offer a different perspective when the numbers point in another direction. \n You'll also need to be equally comfortable with the detail. This is a visible, hands-on finance leadership role rather than one where everything is delegated through the team. \n We're particularly interested in people who can demonstrate: \n\n • Strong experience within a manufacturing finance environment.\n, • Leadership and development of finance teams.\n, • Effective business partnering with senior operational stakeholders.\n, • Excellent budgeting, forecasting and analytical capability.\n, • A track record of improving financial processes, reporting or controls.\n, • Strong technical accounting foundations.\n, • Commercial judgement and the confidence to influence senior decision-makers.\n\n Exposure to consumer products, FMCG or another fast-moving manufacturing environment would be useful. \n Why consider it?: \n The attraction here is the influence that you will have as Head of Finance within such a commercial operation. \n You'll work directly alongside the Site Managing Director rather than operating as a remote reporting function. That gives you visibility of what's happening across the business and the opportunity to influence decisions before they're made. You'll also have ownership of the finance function and the autonomy to develop the team, strengthen reporting and improve how finance supports the operation. \n For an ambitious Financial Controller, it offers a genuine move into senior finance leadership and a much broader level of influence. For an established Head of Finance, it provides the combination of autonomy, operational exposure and senior-level partnership that can
