We're working with a highly respected UK charity with a long history of supporting veterans as it seeks to appoint a Senior Finance Business Partner into its central FP&A function, playing an important role in influencing decision-making across core support services.

This is a senior, visible position, partnering closely with Executive Directors, Directors and their leadership teams across areas such as Digital, Data & Technology, People (HR), Finance and Commercial. You'll provide robust financial insight, constructive challenge and clear analysis to ensure strategic decisions are grounded in strong financial understanding. Managing a small team and reporting into the Director of FP&A, you'll take ownership of financial planning, forecasting and performance across your portfolio, acting as a trusted adviser to senior stakeholders and helping to drive a culture of accountability, transparency and commercial thinking.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Partnering with senior leaders to support long-term strategic planning, annual budgeting and quarterly reforecasting
  • Providing insight on financial performance, risks and opportunities, and supporting sound decision-making
  • Leading the preparation and presentation of monthly and quarterly results for Directors and Executive Directors
  • Acting as a trusted adviser on both financial and non-financial matters
  • Developing and maintaining strong relationships across central services functions
  • Line managing and mentoring members of the finance team, supporting their development and progression

  • Comfortable working at senior level and experience influencing non-finance stakeholders.

This role is contracted to a central London hub, with an expectation of at least two days per week on site, alongside flexibility for home-working. A fully remote/home-based contract may also be considered (without London salary weighting).
