Overview

Harmonic are delighted to be working with a fast-growing and highly regarded creative entertainment business who are looking to recruit a Finance Business Partner.

The company has built an incredible reputation for producing award-winning work across film, television, and entertainment, collaborating with some of the industry’s most recognisable names. With ambitious growth plans and a strong international presence, this is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment where finance plays a pivotal role in driving strategy and decision-making.

The Role

As Finance Business Partner, you will act as the key link between the finance function, CEO, and senior creative/commercial stakeholders. You’ll provide insightful analysis, deliver accurate financial reporting, and work closely with department heads to shape budgets, forecasts, and long-term strategic planning. This role will give you real influence across the business, supporting decision-making at the highest level and helping to drive profitable growth.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, creative environment and enjoys being embedded in the heart of the business. The role offers scope for impact, autonomy, and long-term progression as the company continues to scale.

This role is based in Central London. There is the expectation that you will come into the office 4 days per week for the first 6 months, but from then on there is much more flexibility (2-3 days per week in office).

• Proactively flag financial risks or opportunities to management, supporting quick, informed decision-making
• Support process improvements, automation, and systems enhancements to streamline reporting and forecasting
• Collaborate with the finance team to ensure accurate month-end reporting, reconciliations, and variance analysis
