Are you a commercially minded finance professional who enjoys getting behind the numbers and understanding what is really driving performance? Motofix Accident Repair Centres is looking for an experienced Operational Finance Business Partner to work closely with our Repair Centre Managers and operational teams, helping improve margin, productivity and profitability across our multi-site network.
This is a hands-on role where you will spend regular time within our repair centres, working alongside operational teams to understand how financial performance is created and where practical improvements can be made.

- Translate financial and operational data into clear, practical actions.
- Develop straightforward MI, KPIs and performance tools.
- Support budgeting, forecasting and monthly performance reviews.
- Undertake detailed financial analysis and advanced Excel modelling.
The key part of the role is being able to follow performance from the P&L back through the operational process and understand what is really driving the result.
What you’ll bring:
- You’ll be a qualified, part-qualified or strong qualified-by-experience accountant with experience in management accounting, commercial finance or finance business partnering.
- Strong commercial acumen and understanding of gross margin and operational profitability.
- Experience working directly with operational management.
- Advanced Excel, financial analysis and modelling skills.
- Confidence interrogating financial and operational data.
- The ability to explain complex financial information simply.
- A practical, collaborative approach with the confidence to challenge constructively.

The person we’re looking for:
You’ll be practical, approachable and naturally curious. You’ll enjoy working closely with operational teams, getting into the detail where needed and helping managers turn financial insight into better decisions. Most importantly, you’ll be someone who wants to understand why the numbers look the way they do, and what can be changed to improve them. If you enjoy combining strong financial analysis with genuine operational partnership, we’d like to hear from you.
