Finance Business Partner Wolverhampton (Hybrid) | £65-£70K + Bonus + Benefits We’re looking for a Finance Business Partner to work closely with commercial and sales teams, helping them make better decisions and ultimately drive profitable growth. This isn’t a back-office reporting role. It’s about being involved early in pricing, deals, and strategy, and having a point of view that people listen to. The role You’ll partner with sales leadership and the wider commercial function, getting under the skin of performance - what’s working, what isn’t, and helping to maximise margin. Day to day, that means: • Supporting pricing decisions, tenders and deal reviews, • Building financial models to assess different scenarios, • Analysing customer, product and contract profitability, • Producing reporting that actually gets used, not just filed away, • Challenging assumptions and pushing for better outcomes, • Supporting budgeting, forecasting and longer-term planning There’s also a big focus on improving how things are done - whether that’s better MI, cleaner data, or simplifying reporting processes. What we’re looking for You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent), ideally with a couple of years’ experience in a commercial finance or business partnering role. More importantly, you’ll: • Be comfortable working with non-finance stakeholders, • Have strong analytical skills and be confident in Excel/data, • Be able to explain numbers in a way that makes sense, • Not be afraid to question decisions or offer an alternative view Experience working with sales teams or in a pricing-led environment would be useful, but not essential. Why this role If you enjoy working closely with the business, influencing decisions, and seeing the impact of your work, this is a good opportunity to do exactly that. It’s a role with a broad remit and plenty of visibility, where the expectation is that finance actively contributes — not just reports on what’s already happened. If you’re looking for a role where you can work closely with the business and have a real input into decisions, we’d like to hear from you.
