Commercial Finance Manager

Commercial Finance Manager

Location: Lincoln

Salary: up to £60k

Benjamin Edwards is recruiting for an experienced Commercial Finance Manager to join a progressive business where finance has a genuine seat at the table.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves getting under the skin of a business, influencing strategic decisions, and turning numbers into meaningful commercial insight.

Working closely with the Financial Controller and senior leadership team, you'll take ownership of budgeting, forecasting and long-term financial planning, becoming the go-to person for the financial insight that shapes the future of the business.

If you're someone who enjoys asking "why?", challenging the status quo and using data to help drive better business decisions, this could be exactly the role you've been looking for.

What you'll be doing

This isn't a role where you'll simply produce reports and move on. You'll be at the heart of the business, partnering with senior leaders to understand performance, identify opportunities and influence key decisions.

You'll:

• Lead the annual budget, rolling forecasts and five-year strategic plan.
• Build financial models that help shape commercial and strategic decisions.
• Produce insightful board reports, KPI dashboards and executive presentations.
• Own cash flow forecasting and provide clear visibility of financial performance.
• Partner with stakeholders across the business to challenge, support and improve decision making.
• Drive improvements in reporting, automation and financial planning processes.
• Support strategic projects and investment decisions with robust financial analysis.

About You

You're more than just technically strong you enjoy partnering with the business and influencing outcomes. You're naturally curious, commercially aware and comfortable presenting complex financial information in a way that's easy to understand.

You'll ideally bring:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification.
• Expertise in budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling.
• Experience working with senior stakeholders and influencing business decisions.
• Excellent Excel skills and the ability to present financial information with impact.
• A proactive mindset with a passion for continuous improvement.

This opportunity would suit a Senior FP&A Analyst, Finance Business Partner, Commercial Finance Manager, or a commercially minded Finance Manager or Senior Management Accountant looking to step into a more strategic, business-facing FP&A role.
