Commercial Finance Business Partner – Robert Walters (Leicestershire) A leading organization in Leicestershire is seeking a Commercial Finance Business Partner to join their team, offering an exciting blend of commercial finance partnering and mergers & acquisitions (M&A) support. You will be at the heart of financial planning and analysis, supporting both day‑to‑day business partnering and high‑impact M&A activities. This is a hybrid role (3 days on site). Responsibilities

Support strategic planning processes by providing insightful financial analysis that contributes directly to the organisation’s five‑year growth plan. Collaborate closely with the CFO, Chief Client Officer, investors, and other members of the C‑Suite to deliver robust financial modelling and performance reporting. Assist with pre‑deal analysis for potential acquisitions by reviewing vendor data, stress‑testing assumptions, and assessing strategic fit without being responsible for deal origination. Prepare detailed cashflow models and balance sheet analyses that inform key decision‑making across both business‑as‑usual operations and M&A activity. Provide critical support during post‑merger integration phases by preparing data for CRM system ingestion and working alongside wider integration stakeholders. Deliver analytical solutions for complex “big data” challenges that arise from both commercial finance partnering and M&A support functions.

Qualifications

Fully qualified accountant with strong technical grounding in FP&A principles including balance sheet management, profit & loss understanding, cashflow modelling, and advanced financial modelling capabilities. Ideally 3–4 years’ experience post‑graduation, with at least two years spent in a business partnering or FP&A‑type role where demonstrated adaptability across multiple functions. More commercially focused background rather than exclusively audit‑based; practical experience flexing between BAU finance tasks and supporting M&A activities. Excellent interpersonal skills enabling effective collaboration with colleagues at all levels including CFOs, C‑Suite executives, investors, and external advisors. Pragmatic approach—curious about new challenges yet able to quickly grasp complex concepts and integrate well within existing teams thanks to a positive attitude. Proven experience preparing data for system integrations (such as CRM platforms) during post‑merger phases or similar transformation projects.

On offer is a salary of circa £65,000 per annum, plus a strong benefits package. Robert Walters Operations Limited is an employment business and employment agency and welcomes applications from all candidates. Job Details
