Finance Business Partner

About Baringa:

We set out to build the world’s most trusted consulting firm – creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people-first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start-ups, in every sector.

Our clients love how we get to know what makes their organisations tick – slotting seamlessly into their teams and being proudly geeky about solving their challenges.

We have hubs in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, and we work all around the world - from a wind farm in Wyoming to a boardroom in Berlin. Find us wherever there's a challenge to be tackled and an impact to be made.

Our Finance team are looking for an experienced Finance BP to join the them.

What You Will Be Doing

As the Finance Business Partner for our Corporate functions (BE), you will play a key role in supporting function leads and budget holders in understanding and managing their cost base. You will partner closely with stakeholders across BE functions, supporting budgeting and planning cycles, managing cross-charges into the consulting business, and providing financial insight to enable informed decision-making. You will also deliver ad hoc financial support to help BE meet strategic and operational objectives.

• Conduct spend reviews, trend analysis, and ad hoc financial deep dives to identify risks, opportunities, and value-add initiatives.
• Provide clear, actionable financial messaging that resonates with non-finance audiences and drives better decision-making.
• Support Finance Operations initiatives related to BE, including managing accruals, prepayments, cash collection, and working capital improvements.
• Collaborate with other FBPs and the broader finance team to strengthen commercial models and insights across BE.
• Contribute to organisation design, process improvement, and system development projects where relevant.
