Commercial Finance Business Partner

Transformation | Operations | Growth

We’re working with a high-growth, internationally active business undergoing a period of continued transformation and operational scaling.  Initially offered on a 12 month fixed term contract basis, this is a genuinely impactful role sitting at the intersection of finance, commercial decision-making and operations—ideal for someone who wants to move beyond reporting and play a more embedded, forward-looking role in the business.

Bristol based, the role is offered on a 12 month fixed term contract basis to start early May.

 

The Opportunity

You’ll act as a trusted partner to senior commercial and operational leaders, helping shape performance, optimise resource allocation and drive better decision-making across the business.

It’s a role with real breadth—combining financial insight, operational oversight and strategic input—with visibility across multiple business lines and stakeholders.

 

What you’ll be doing

  • Partnering with business leaders to interpret performance and drive actions, not just report numbers
  • Leading on forecasting, budgeting and planning, bringing clarity to future performance
  • Providing insightful analysis and commentary to support strategic decisions
  • Supporting resource planning and utilisation, ensuring the business is set up to deliver effectively
  • Driving improvements in reporting, processes and controls to enhance accuracy and efficiency
  • Contributing to commercial decisions, including pricing, project scoping and investment initiatives
  • Playing a key role in operational performance, including margin, cost control and working capital

 

What we’re looking for

  • Qualified Accountant with 0-3years PQE
  • Available to start the role in early May 2026
  • Background in a commercial, business-facing or operational finance role
  • Ability to translate numbers into insight and action
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment
  • Strong stakeholder skills – able to challenge, influence and partner effectively
  • Experience within professional services, consulting or project-based environments is helpful but not essential

 

Why this role?

  • High visibility and genuine influence across the business
  • A blend of strategy, operations and finance
  • Opportunity to shape how the business plans, measures and delivers performance
  • Suited to someone who enjoys variety, pace and impact, rather than a narrow remit

 

If you’re looking for a role where you can move beyond the numbers and become a key part of how a business runs and grows, this is well worth a conversation.
