Full time, permanent role

We have an exciting opportunity for a part qualified / qualified accountant to join our finance team as an Assistant Finance Business Partner here at ReddeNorthgate. This role will be to work with within our fleet repair network.

Role Overview

The primary objective of the Assistant Finance Business Partner is to provide high quality data and pro-active insight and analysis across the fleet repair function, providing robust financial insight to enable informed decision making within the senior repair services team.

Finance Business Partners are the link between finance and the business, providing business advice, decision support, cost control and performance analysis. They own the functional cost and revenue budget and periodic forecasts. This is a varied and fast paced role, where ad hoc analysis forms a significant proportion of workload, and the ability to support, influence and challenge the decision-making process within the operations team is an essential attribute.

The role is field based covering multiple operational territories and a degree of travel is expected in order to attend functional meetings across the UK.

* Present monthly functional and overall business performance updates to territory management, with a robust level of challenge.

* Monitor transactional volumes at a location level to ensure that staffing levels are driving the optimum level of cost efficiency.

* Ownership and accountability for the accuracy of the monthly operating statement and production of KPI reporting

* Act as the territory query escalation contact for KPI's, local P&L's, bonus and labour.

* Provide commercial support to the Fleet Repair Services Finance Business Partner as required.
