At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Finance Business Partner to play a pivotal role in our Management Accounts in London.
Sounds great, what will I be doing?
The role involves reporting and analysis by examining different business areas, producing reports for budget holders and the executive team, and presenting conclusions to support decision-making. Responsibilities include analyzing business performance on a monthly basis for specific areas, meeting regularly with strategic budget holders to review spending, highlighting underperforming areas, and supporting executive budget holders in implementing improvements. Reports will be prepared that link both financial and non-financial information.
In terms of budgeting, the role requires working with executive budget holders to develop annual budgets and monthly forecasts, with a strong understanding of the key drivers behind budget bids and forecasts. It also involves analyzing budgets and forecasts by area, explaining variances between actual, budgeted, and forecasted results, and writing monthly management accounts commentary for allocated areas.
For wider finance tasks, the role includes working closely with the finance team to connect customers to finance processes, supporting the simplification and streamlining of finance procedures, and understanding the broader business impact of spend, income, assets, liabilities, and reserves. Taking ownership of problems and driving them through to resolution is also a key expectation.
Additionally, the role contributes to special projects such as new bids, systems implementation, and chart of accounts design.
What do I need to bring with me?
You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.
Here's what the team will be looking for

You will bring highly developed skills in financial system reporting, spreadsheet analysis, and database management, with the capability to link information from different sources to financial data. You will be committed to improving service delivery and able to perform effectively in a high-pressure environment with competing priorities. You will also have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build strong interdepartmental relationships and earn trust through a balance of assertiveness and diplomacy.
You will be able to analyse large volumes of data and draw clear, concise conclusions. You will have significant experience providing management information to clients or customers within tight deadlines, producing ad hoc reports with insightful analysis to support decision-making, and working with senior-level budget holders. You will also have experience in delivering excellent customer service to both internal and external stakeholders. Finally, you will demonstrate a strong set of soft skills including presentation, relationship building, negotiation, facilitation, and conflict resolution.
When will I be working?
