Risk - Finance Business Partner | Senior Associate - Birmingham, United Kingdom - PwC
Description
JOB DESCRIPTIONRisk is a £m business employing c.2, Partners and staff. It provides a range of services to help organisations navigate risk in increasingly complex operating environments.
PwC's Business Partnering teams work hand-in-hand with our employees across the business, informing our leaders on the key decisions that drive the business forward, and shape their engagements.
We entrust our Business Partnering teams to be proactive and honest, to build relationships and influence, to understand, challenge, and hold a mirror to the business, and to translate the numbers into a business story.
To facilitate our exciting growth, PwC is evolving to future-proof our Business Partnering teams. To empower our people to focus more on insight, collaboration, and commerciality, we are placing new specialised lead roles within our Business Partnering teams, and refocusing the efforts of our core business partners. This refocusing is being accompanied by a renewed investment in technologies to drive our ways of working forward, freeing up time to let our people focus more on providing insights to people in the business, driving our growth agenda, and working together to solve complex challenges.
We have invested in our Business Partnering career development framework for our associates and senior associates - a renewed way of working to provide our people with a breadth and depth of experience across Finance capabilities, and the opportunity to identify and develop in their areas of strength and interest, whilst still getting a full picture of the value Finance adds across the firm.
Our framework means our teams can flex their capabilities to meet the various periodic demands of our Business Partnering team, gaining a wide perspective of the business in the process. PwC's career pathways and career development framework works with our associates to help them develop and visualise their future careers, as they are exposed to more responsibilities within Finance.
Responsibilities
The Finance Senior Associate within the Business Partnering Team is a key support for general Finance and business decision support. Working closely with the Finance Managers to produce the financial insights needed by our business, and taking increased leadership over work with experience, this is a collaborative, diverse and engaging role, and a vital function to the firm.
Our Finance teams are an integral part of each area of the business, working closely with leaders to help drive business performance, identify and drive financial improvements, prepare plans and budgets, and report on the performance of the business - commercially, and functionally. PwC takes a people-first approach to Finance, and empowers its Business Partnering teams to be collaborative and value-adding.
The individual in this role can expect to be exposed to a variety of critical Finance functions, depending on their skills and aspirations. They will also build working relationships with other Business Partnering teams, the Directors of Finance, business leaders, and PwC's Centres of Excellence. The primary responsibilities and areas the Finance Management Team operates across, which the candidate may gain experience in and choose to further develop, include:
Business strategy and planning
Budgeting and forecasting
Financial control and compliance
Complex Engagement Support
Skills and Experience
