A little about the Role

This is a unique opportunity to partner with key stakeholders to provide support and advice across all aspects of management accounting, budgeting, forecasting and financial planning, and analysis.

As the Finance Partner, you will be joining the newly formed Finance Partnering team to:

• ensure accurate financial analysis across the Commercial division of the Group;
• proactively understand business drivers and provide insightful advice;
• own and drive the forecasting and budgeting process;
• ensure the accurate recognition of revenue and expenses;
• support the development of fit-for-purpose systems and processes.

Crucial to the success of the role will be your client-focused approach to service delivery typified by your ability to quickly establish professional credibility and rapport with a range of stakeholders. Your ability to communicate complex financial information to a non-financial audience is second to none which enables you to establish collaborative working relationships with ease.

• Preferred experience in Dynamic 365 Business Central, Inlogik Pro-master, Jet Reporting, Magiq, SharePoint or equivalent and expense management systems

Why work for us? We offer:

• Salary packaging, sometimes called salary sacrificing is a huge attraction here! It is a popular way of providing employees in the community sector with tax benefits over and above their salary. It means the real value of a salary package can be significantly higher than the nominal value.
• We make an incredible difference in the lives of over 300,000 people every year.
• We believe in families, so we like to provide a family-friendly environment in which to work.
