Finance Business Partner

We're supporting a private equity–backed real estate platform looking to hire a Finance Business Partner into its group finance team, following a recent restructure.

This is a cost-focused, commercially embedded role, partnering operational and procurement stakeholders to drive cost visibility, cash discipline and performance reporting across the portfolio.

What the role looks like:

• Business partnering across operational teams with a strong cost and cash focus

• Ownership of cashflow forecasting and short- to medium-term liquidity visibility

• OPEX, CAPEX, G&A and headcount analysis, with active challenge of assumptions

• KPI reporting at team and corporate level, including consolidations

• Close collaboration with procurement on supplier spend and cost control

• Ad-hoc analysis and senior stakeholder requests, including PE-level asks

This is a hands-on, BAU-led position. It’s not a revenue growth, M&A or fundraising role — the value-add is in clean analysis, strong Excel, clear insight and confident stakeholder management.

What they’re looking for:

• Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)

• Strong FP&A / Finance Business Partnering background

• Experience in real estate, assets, infrastructure or capital-intensive environments (preferred but not essential)

• Comfortable challenging costs and partnering non-finance stakeholders

• Highly organised, detail-driven and commercially minded

Package & flexibility:

• £70,000 – £75,000 base salary

• 20% bonus

• Hybrid working (3 days per week in a Central London office)

• ASAP start, but open to notice periods

• Also open to interim to perm candidates (£400–£425 per day, inside IR35)
