Job description

Keeler Recruitment is delighted to be partnering with a highly successful and growing FMCG business to recruit a commercially focused finance professional into a newly created succession opportunity.

This is not a traditional financial control or reporting role. Instead, we are seeking an individual who can help shape business strategy through insightful analysis, commercial challenge and forward planning, whilst building towards a future Finance Director position.

Working closely with the owner and senior leadership team, you will play a key role in understanding business performance, supporting strategic decisions and helping drive the next phase of growth.

The Opportunity

The business has an established finance function responsible for the day-to-day accounting and reporting activities. This role is focused on providing the insight behind the numbers.

You will act as a trusted business partner, helping the leadership team understand trends, identify opportunities, assess risks and make informed commercial decisions.

This is a rare opportunity to join an ambitious business where your contribution will be visible and valued, with genuine scope to progress into a broader leadership role over time.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning processes
  • Develop financial models, business cases and investment appraisals
  • Analyse performance, profitability and key commercial drivers
  • Deliver meaningful management information, KPIs and insight
  • Support strategic decision-making through scenario planning and analysis
  • Partner with operational and commercial teams to drive performance improvements
  • Identify opportunities to enhance profitability, efficiency and cash generation
  • Support growth initiatives, new business opportunities and capital investment decisions
  • Work closely with senior stakeholders to shape future business strategy

About You

We are keen to speak with ambitious finance professionals who combine strong analytical skills with commercial awareness and a desire to influence business performance.

You will likely possess:

  • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification
  • Experience within commercial finance, FP&A, finance business partnering or strategic finance
  • Strong forecasting, modelling and analytical capabilities
  • The ability to challenge and influence senior stakeholders
  • A commercially minded approach with excellent communication skills
  • A desire to develop into a future Finance Director role

Experience within FMCG, manufacturing, food production or other operationally focused environments would be advantageous but is not essential.

What's on Offer?

  • A genuine succession opportunity with long-term career progression
  • Direct exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making
  • A high-impact role within a growing and ambitious business
  • Competitive salary, bonus and benefits package
  • Flexible working arrangements alongside a collaborative office culture
