Finance Business Partner
Seymour John Ltd
Finance Business Partner
Wolverhampton (Hybrid) | £65-£70K + Bonus + Benefits
We’re looking for a Finance Business Partner to work closely with commercial and sales teams, helping them make better decisions and ultimately drive profitable growth.
This isn’t a back-office reporting role. It’s about being involved early in pricing, deals, and strategy, and having a point of view that people listen to.
The role
You’ll partner with sales leadership and the wider commercial function, getting under the skin of performance - what’s working, what isn’t, and helping to maximise margin.
Day to day, that means:
- Supporting pricing decisions, tenders and deal reviews
- Building financial models to assess different scenarios
- Analysing customer, product and contract profitability
- Producing reporting that actually gets used, not just filed away
- Challenging assumptions and pushing for better outcomes
- Supporting budgeting, forecasting and longer-term planning
There’s also a big focus on improving how things are done - whether that’s better MI, cleaner data, or simplifying reporting processes.
What we’re looking for
You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent), ideally with a couple of years’ experience in a commercial finance or business partnering role.
More importantly, you’ll:
- Be comfortable working with non-finance stakeholders
- Have strong analytical skills and be confident in Excel/data
- Be able to explain numbers in a way that makes sense
- Not be afraid to question decisions or offer an alternative view
Experience working with sales teams or in a pricing-led environment would be useful, but not essential.
Why this role
If you enjoy working closely with the business, influencing decisions, and seeing the impact of your work, this is a good opportunity to do exactly that.
It’s a role with a broad remit and plenty of visibility, where the expectation is that finance actively contributes — not just reports on what’s already happened.
If you’re looking for a role where you can work closely with the business and have a real input into decisions, we’d like to hear from you.
