Finance Business Partner (Progression Role)
We’re offering a unique opportunity for someone who is currently studying for a professional accounting qualification, to join us on a development programme to become a fully-fledged Finance Business Partner. Our friendly and supportive Finance Planning & Analysis Team will be with you every step of the way and provide you with all of the coaching, support and mentoring you need to enable you to reach your goal.
You’ll be joining an innovative housing provider, with ambitious growth plans, so we’re interested in hearing from individuals who think differently and aren’t afraid to bring constructive challenge to the table.
We’re dedicated to creating exceptional customer experiences along the way and are on a mission to build a culture that prioritises excellence, innovation, and customer obsession.
We believe work is something you do, not somewhere you go so if you want to work for a company who are truly flexible and where you are valued then this could be the role for you!
What you’ll be doing
Your development plan will be tailored to your individual needs, meaning you may still be working towards certain aspects of the role while already feeling confident in others.
In this role, you’ll partner with the business to provide valuable commercial insights and financial expertise, helping them achieve their objectives. By blending your financial skills with strategic thinking, you'll play a key part in driving important business decisions and delivering impactful results.
You’ll work to maximize value, support growth, improve processes, and identify new commercial opportunities, managing budgets ranging from around £500k to £30m+. Reporting to the Financial Planning and Analysis Manager, you’ll also be involved in financial modelling, scenario planning, business case preparation, and option appraisal to support decision-making and improve business performance.
A key aspect of this role is building and managing relationships with business leaders. You’ll collaborate, influence, challenge, and negotiate to help the Group achieve its goals.
Sounds good? Here’s what we need from you…
We’re looking for someone who is studying for a professional accounting qualification and who is eager to take on new challenges and progress in their career. You might currently be working as an Assistant Accountant, Finance Assistant, Finance Officer, or a similar role, but what’s really important is that you’re a people person, with a knack for confident communication, negotiation and building relationships with key stakeholders. You’ll have the ability to translate large and complex data sets into meaningful analysis and value-adding insights for the business.
The rest would also be great too:
* An ability to influence, negotiate and challenge.
* Ability to make the most of technology and data.
* Excellent attention to detail with the ability to work under pressure, deliver to strict deadlines and manage conflicting priorities.
* Eagerness to develop own skills and adapt to change.
If you’re ready to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you!
What’s in it for you…
This a full-time permanent role with a starting salary of £45,000 per annum, for a 35-hour week plus 25 days annual leave (rising annually to 30 days) plus Bank Holidays.
Your salary will rise incrementally to a maximum of £53,365.32 per annum, as you achieve defined objectives as set out in your development plan.
We offer a reward package to suit everyone. At YH, you can claim back for prescriptions, eye tests and more with our cash plan, make the most of a variety of retail discounts and take advantage of our pension scheme where we’ll match your contributions up to 9%, just to name a few.
Our people’s health and wellbeing are one of our top priorities, and you can make the most of our readily available wellbeing support package. This includes access to a library of free fitness classes, as well as an instant My GP service and free counselling sessions with a trained professional.
Now you’re really interested?
At YH, we’re actively building a working environment that’s inclusive as well as diverse, where everyone can contribute their best work and be themselves.
