Use your financial expertise to influence decisions that help improve lives. We believe that great homes build better lives. Behind the scenes of our 34,000+ homes across the Midlands is a high-performing Finance team making strategic decisions that drive value, compliance, and impact. Join us now as a Finance Business Partner - a high-visibility role where you will act as a key advisor, shaping our financial performance and long-term strategic planning.

What you’ll be doing:

• You won't just produce management accounts and board reports; you will provide the narrative and "the why" behind the numbers, delivering actionable insights that influence future forecasts.
• This is a true partnership role. You will proactively engage with senior stakeholders and budget managers across the organization, acting as a critical friend to help them make sound, strategic decisions.

Our Ideal Candidate:

• A qualified or finalist Accountant (ACA/ACCA/ACMA) with a strong technical foundation.
• Demonstrable experience in not only producing budgets and forecasts but in presenting them with clarity to non-finance audiences.
• Experience liaising with a range of stakeholders, from Executive Directors to frontline colleagues. You should have a proven ability to influence business performance by offering both robust challenge and collaborative support.
• Highly skilled in using Excel to interpret complex data sets, turning high volumes of information into clear, strategic recommendations.

In this role, you can expect to work from the office a minimum of 3 days per week. Based on business needs, time spent working from the office increases to full-time during reporting cycles.
