Finance Business Partner

You will act as a true partner to operations, commercial, procurement. As the Finance Business Partner your focus will be driving performance, improving accountability and ensuring that financial insight translates into operational action. The business already produces reporting; what they need is someone who can push performance forward.

This isn't a back-office number-crunching role, based in Flintshire. You will be a visible, influential voice within a high-performing, fast-moving manufacturing organisation that directly feeds into one of the UK’s biggest operations in its field.

The key responsibilities of the Finance Business Partner include:

• Standard costing & product cost analysis
• Yield and efficiency improvement
• Margin performance and cost control
• Turning reporting into clear operational actions
• Challenging and influencing senior stakeholders
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and performance reviews
• Bridging the gap between finance and the factory floor

You’ll spend meaningful time on-site, building credibility with operational teams and understanding how processes truly drive cost.

We want an ambitious, commercially minded finance business partner who:

• Has manufacturing or FMCG experience
• Understands standard costing and operational finance
• Is confident challenging stakeholders
• Is comfortable in fast-paced, performance-driven environments
• Wants to step into a broader, more influential role
• Qualified or actively studying candidates will be considered. The key differentiator is commercial instinct and the ability to drive improvement, not just produce numbers.

Our client will offer you:

• Salary between £45k-£50k
• Genuine opportunity to influence site performance
• High-visibility role with exposure to senior leadership
• Business partnering focus - not transactional finance
• Succession opportunity in the medium term
• Stable, established manufacturing group

This role would suit someone currently in a Management Accountant or Site Accountant position who is ready to step up and become a true commercial partner.
