Finance Business Partner

Save job

This is a Finance Business Partner job in a highly acquisitive services business in North Manchester, based in the office 3 days a week. This role is particularly strategic, and influential within the ongoing M&A (Mergers & Acquisition) strategy of a private equity backed buy and build platform.

This role sits in the commercial finance team in a private equity backed buy and build services business. This business is well capitalised, and highly successful in the services space, having grown through organic and inorganic strategies and this role is the fulcrum of developing further on their strategy both M&A and otherwise.

You will be involved in M&A appraisals pre and post deal, financial modelling, cashflow modelling, and ultimately be a key resource for the C suite, and investors and funders on the ongoing M&A journey, as well as for maximising commercial opportunities alongside the M&A growth story.

Though this role is in industry, due to the volume and value of M&A opportunities in the pipeline you will have a significant experience base in M&A from a role at a leading practice, likely a top ten firm or boutique M&A advisory business. You may well now be in an M&A team within industry, or you may be a senior leader still in practice, but looking for your first move into industry.

This is a particularly influential commercial finance role - highly involved in the ongoing strategy of the business and with the senior stakeholders in place. As such you will be remunerated both by a salary commensurate with your experience, a car allowance and yearly bonus. You will also have a genuine opportunity to shape strategy and be in a position of influence in a private equity success story with real involvement in the journey to a successful exit likely in 3-5 years.
