At Lovell, we're looking for a talented Finance Business Partner to join our Central Finance team in Tamworth. This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified finance professional who enjoys combining financial reporting, business partnering and continuous improvement to help drive business performance.

Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business, you'll provide high-quality financial analysis, meaningful insights and robust reporting that supports strategic decision-making at both regional and divisional level. You'll also play a key role in enhancing financial controls, improving reporting processes and leading initiatives that add real value to the organisation.

What you'll be doing

In this varied and influential role, you'll take ownership of key financial reporting and control processes, delivering timely and accurate management information including board reports, order book reporting, cash flow forecasts and performance analysis.

You'll partner with operational teams and senior leaders to provide insight that supports commercial decision-making and drives business performance. 

You'll oversee month-end reporting activities, manage control account reconciliations and journals, monitor financial reporting dashboards, support statutory reporting requirements and play a key role in audit activities. You'll also contribute to system and process improvements, helping to develop best-in-class reporting and financial controls across the business. Additionally, you'll manage and support a Finance Assistant, helping to develop capability within the wider finance team.

You'll ideally have:

• A CIMA or ACA qualification
• Experience within an accounting, audit, finance manager or assistant accountant role
• Strong analytical and financial reporting skills
• Experience delivering insight and supporting business decision-making
• Advanced Excel skills and strong systems awareness
• The ability to build effective relationships with stakeholders at all levels
• A proactive approach to improving processes and driving efficiencies
• Experience within construction, housing or a project-based environment would be advantageous but is not essential. Knowledge of Anaplan or COINS would also be beneficial.
