Senior Finance Business Partner / Head of Finance

Biggin Hill (4 days on‑site, 1 day from home) £80,000-£85,000 + bonus + benefits

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Senior Finance Business Partner to take a key leadership role within a fast‑growing, high‑performing organisation in Biggin Hill. This position acts as the senior finance lead on site, partnering closely with operational leadership, shaping financial strategy, and guiding a dedicated finance team.

This is far more than a traditional FBP role - it requires a confident, influential finance leader who can build strong relationships, challenge constructively, and set the tone for financial governance across the operation. For the right person, there is clear progression into a broader Head of Finance remit.

What you'll be doing

  • Acting as the senior finance voice on site, partnering with the General Manager and leadership team

  • Leading, coaching and developing a team of four, creating a high‑performance culture

  • Presenting financial performance, KPIs and insights to senior stakeholders

  • Driving budgeting, forecasting and long‑term planning

  • Providing proactive and reactive financial analysis to support operational decision‑making

  • Building strong cross‑functional relationships across finance, operations and commercial teams

  • Overseeing governance, controls and financial reporting processes

  • Supporting audits, compliance and continuous improvement initiatives

What we're looking for

  • Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent)

  • Strong business partnering experience with senior stakeholders

  • Proven leadership capability - able to inspire, guide and develop a team

  • Confident presenter with the gravitas to influence at all levels

  • Proactive, commercially minded and comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment

  • Excellent relationship‑builder with strong communication skills

  • Experience in manufacturing, engineering or aviation is beneficial but not essential

Why this role stands out

  • You'll be the finance lead on site, not just a support function

  • Significant exposure to senior leadership and operational decision‑making

  • Real progression potential for someone ambitious and driven

  • Competitive salary (£80-85k), bonus and benefits

  • Hybrid working: 4 days on‑site, 1 day from home

If you're a people‑focused finance leader who thrives on building relationships, driving performance and leading teams, we'd love to hear from you.
