Robertson Bell is delighted to be working with a high-profile organisation to appoint a Finance Business Partner on a permanent, part-time basis (28 hours per week). This role offers a unique chance to provide high-level financial insight across a diverse range of projects, all while benefiting from a flexible working arrangement and strong professional development support.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Leading quarterly financial reporting for assigned business areas, delivering accurate and insightful commentary.
  • Supporting the annual budgeting and forecasting cycle across multiple high-value projects.
  • Providing financial analysis and guidance to budget holders, ensuring alignment with organisational priorities and financial compliance.
  • Building strong working relationships across finance and wider business teams, promoting collaboration and continuous improvement.
  • Attending senior leadership meetings to represent finance, offering meaningful input to strategic discussions.
  • Working closely with Managers and stakeholders to link budgets to business plans and enhance decision-making.

Paying up to £47,000 FTE, this part-time role (28 hours per week) is offered with highly flexible working arrangements, including just one day per week in the Swindon office. You’ll benefit from a generous pension contribution, pro rata annual leave totalling 30 days plus public and privilege days, and excellent support for professional development—including financial support and study leave.

The ideal candidate will:

  • Be a part-qualified accountant (or qualified by experience), with strong management accounting knowledge.
  • Have demonstrable experience in budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis, and be able to interpret financial trends beyond the data.
  • Be confident communicating financial information to non-finance stakeholders.
  • Ideally have worked in large or matrix organisations and be comfortable operating in a complex environment.
  • Be proactive, collaborative, and driven to improve systems and support colleagues.

This role presents a brilliant opportunity for a finance professional seeking greater work-life balance without compromising on career impact or responsibility.
