Senior Finance Business Partner ( Treasury & Development)

Senior Finance Business Partner Treasury & Development Cheshire/Hybrid £55,000 Permanent 37 hours

We re recruiting a Senior Finance Business Partner for a well-established North West housing provider, supporting some of the organisation s most strategically important areas across Treasury, Development and Business Planning .

This is a broad role combining hands-on financial management with forward-looking analysis and business partnering. You ll work closely with operational and senior colleagues, providing financial insight and challenge while helping shape longer-term plans and investment decisions.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of Finance, you ll take a lead role across:

• Budgeting, forecasting and business planning, including financial modelling and scenario analysis.

• Treasury reporting, cash flow forecasting and supporting funding decisions for major development schemes.

• Loan covenant monitoring, lender returns and regulatory metrics.

• Treasury and development inputs into the organisation s long-term Business Plan, including stress testing.

• Reviewing development cash flows, appraisals and scheme performance, working closely with Development colleagues.

• Preparing development budgets and forecasts and providing financial challenge around new proposals.

• Leading on the Development Fixed Asset and Grants Register, ensuring accurate integration with the wider housing fixed asset register.

• Month-end and year-end reporting and supporting Board and senior leadership reporting.

• Leading and developing members of the finance team.

The role has real breadth, with exposure to both day-to-day financial performance and the longer-term funding and development decisions that underpin the organisation s plans.

About You

You ll be a qualified or part-qualified accountant CIMA, ACCA, ACA, CIPFA or equivalent with strong business partnering skills and, importantly, experience within social housing.

We re particularly interested in candidates who bring:

• Social housing treasury experience , including cash flow, funding, covenants and regulatory returns.

• Experience of development finance, development cash flows or appraisals .

• Strong budgeting, forecasting and longer-term business planning skills.

• Financial modelling and scenario/stress-testing experience.

• An understanding of capitalisation and fixed assets .

• Strong communication skills and the confidence to provide constructive challenge to senior and non-finance colleagues.

• A proactive, commercial and collaborative approach.

You don t necessarily need to have done every element of the role, but you will need a strong grounding in social housing finance and treasury , ideally combined with either development or business planning experience.

Why Apply?

• This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more than a traditional month-end FBP role.

• You ll be close to treasury, funding, development and long-term business planning , giving you exposure to the bigger financial decisions affecting the organisation while still remaining hands-on and connected to operational teams.

If you re working within social housing finance and looking for a broader Senior FBP role with genuine exposure to treasury, development and strategic planning, we d love to hear from you.
