Business Partnering - Work closely with operational leaders, marketing, and executive chefs to shape strategy and drive results.
Reporting & Insights - Deliver weekly KPI dashboards and sales reports, providing clear, actionable insights to non-finance stakeholders.
Commercial Support - Support pricing strategy, competitor benchmarking, and product mix decisions using financial and market data.
Planning & Forecasting - Contribute to budgeting and forecasting cycles, providing analytical support to commercial functions.
Data Tools - Leverage Power BI and Excel to enhance reporting and automate insight delivery.
Candidate Requirements:
Part-Qualified Accountant (CIMA preferred) - You'll ideally be well underway with your exams.
Must have experience in a multi-site business - Retail or hospitality background strongly preferred.
Strong commercial acumen - Confident in turning data into strategy, and working closely with non-finance teams.
Advanced Excel & Power BI skills - Able to build reports and deliver insights independently.
Excellent communication skills - Comfortable influencing stakeholders at all levels.
If you're looking for a commercially focused role where you can make a visible impact in a dynamic, growing business this is the opportunity for you.
