What if your financial insight and partnership could help one of the UK's largest charities direct its resources where they make the greatest difference for people affected by dementia? About the opportunity As a Finance Business Partner, you'll work alongside budget holders across Alzheimer's Society, turning complex financial information into clear insights that support better decision-making. In a role where every pound matters in the fight against dementia, you'll help ensure our resources reach the places they can have the most impact, whether that's funding groundbreaking research, delivering vital support services, or campaigning for systemic change. You'll build trusted relationships with stakeholders across the organisation, providing the financial analysis, challenge and support they need to navigate complexity with confidence. Through coaching and partnership, you'll help budget holders strengthen their own financial capability, so that sound financial thinking becomes part of how the Society operates, not something that sits only within Finance. You'll be part of our Finance and Assurance directorate, where our vision is to be the Society's single point of truth. Working within the Financial Partnering, Planning and Analysis function, you'll be the dedicated finance partner for our Income and Engagement directorate, connecting Finance with the teams responsible for growing and protecting the Society's income. You'll translate their plans into sound financial frameworks that enable our mission rather than hold it back. You'll already have or be open to developing a deep understanding of how fundraised, legacy and restricted income flows through the Society, and you'll use that specialism to add real value to the teams responsible for growing and stewarding our income. About you You're a finance professional with proven business partnering experience who understands that effective partnering means combining accurate numbers with clear communication, constructive challenge and a genuine interest in helping others see the bigger picture. You're comfortable working across boundaries, building relationships at all levels, and coaching colleagues to develop their financial confidence. You'll have: - A relevant professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), either fully or part qualified, or qualified by experience. - Experience supporting business teams with budgeting, forecasting and month-end processes, including ensuring appropriate controls are in place and financial performance is communicated effectively and on time. - A track record of applying analytical skills to provide financial advice that supports strategic decision-making. - Experience of identifying and collecting feedback and other data to inform quality improvement and to monitor the performance of processes or tools. - Good communication skills, with the ability to interpret financial information and present it in a way that tells a clear story. - The confidence to challenge, negotiate and influence, while taking a balanced view that incorporates different perspectives. - Experience working with ERP systems. Experience with Unit4 would be particularly valuable, though it is not essential. - The ability to work independently and manage competing priorities, while knowing when to consult and when to ask for support. It would be particularly valuable if you also bring: - Experience partnering with income-generating, fundraising, marketing or engagement functions within a non-profit or charity setting. - An understanding of restricted fund accounting and the financial management of legacy income. What you'll focus on - Partnering with budget holders across your assigned directorate to provide analysis, insight and recommendations that support effective, informed decision-making. - Preparing financial reports, budgets, forecasts and business plans, and modelling financial data to support operational and strategic priorities. - Supporting and challenging budget holders to identify risks and opportunities early, escalating appropriately and agreeing remedial action where needed. - Strengthening financial knowledge and confidence across your stakeholder group through coaching, training and a partnership-based approach. - Working collaboratively across the Finance team to design intuitive reports and analysis that meet the needs of colleagues across the Society. - Advocating good accounting principles and helping to educate, inform and develop others within your directorate and the wider Finance team. - Identifying cost saving or optimisation opportunities, working closely with colleagues in Procurement and Sustainability to realise these. - Supporting Senior Business Partners in identifying key performance metrics and collecting routine feedback from partners across the Society to drive constant quality improvement. You may also line manage a Finance Business Partnering Assistant, role-modelling a high challenge, high support culture where accountability, performance and development go hand in hand. Are you ready to be a trusted financial partner, bringing both challenge and practical solutions to the people working to make life better for everyone affected by dementia?
