Benefits include

• Enhanced Pension
• Flexible working
• Hybrid working
• Holiday entitlement well above average

This vacancy has been the result of an individual moving into a new challenging position and a subsequent re‑structuring of the service line provided.

The role will report into the finance director and will for all intense and purposes be a stand alone position.

Responsibilities

The purpose of this role is to business partner a specific service offering/service line and work with key stakeholders in the maintenance of performance levels. You will be the finance subject matter expert for your internal group and will not only provide them with the financial information that they require, but also to hold them accountable for their part to play.

Day‑to‑day responsibilities

• Deliver accurate, timely and insightful financial reports: manage the production of weekly/monthly financial reports to specific deadlines, ensuring outputs are accurate, complete and meaningful
• Provide analysis and insight against plans and KPIs: highlight variances against plans, provide commentary for P&L holders and analyse and interpret KPIs.
• Partner with operational and business development teams to understand financial performance to aid decision making: develop strong partnerships with operational teams and translate financial information into clear actionable insights
• Support with budgeting and forecasting in collaboration with P&L holders: support P&L holders with budgets and forecasts, challenging assumptions and provide guidance on new business financial modelling
• Identify and drive improvements in data and systems: proactively review and improve data quality and system performance to drive continuous improvement of reporting and create efficiencies

Requirements

We are seeking a professionally qualified accountant who has previous experience of working in a business partnering capacity. Ideally applicants will come from a not‑for‑profit organisation or will come from an SME environment. Whilst a core part of this role will involve performance levels (and potentially be addressing poor performance), communication skills will be an essential competency in delivering difficult messages delicately. Applicants will need to be able to prioritise and manage their work load as well as visiting sites across Scotland.

Our client does not hold a license to offer study support so will only consider applicants who are able to work unrestricted within the UK and who are based in the immediate vicinity.

If you are interested in hearing more detail about this role or would like to have a confidential chat about a potential career move, please do not hesitate in contacting me.
