We’re partnering with a large, complex public-sector organisation to appoint a Finance Business Partner who enjoys working close to senior leaders and influencing decision-making through strong financial insight.
This role sits within a strategy-focused environment and acts as a trusted internal advisor, supporting senior leadership with budgeting, forecasting, business cases, and investment decisions in a highly visible portfolio.
The Opportunity
You’ll operate as an internal finance consultant, providing proactive, forward-looking advice while balancing strategic priorities, risk, and public-sector accountability. This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, stakeholder engagement, and shaping outcomes rather than just reporting on them.

- Developing and reviewing business cases and investment proposals
- Translating complex financial data into clear insights and options

- Supporting continuous improvement across finance processes
About You
You’ll bring a strong mix of technical capability, commercial judgement, and relationship skills.
You will likely have:
- CA qualification (CA ANZ or equivalent) with 3+ years post-qualification experience
- Proven experience as a Finance Business Partner in a large or complex organisation
- Public sector or government environment experience (highly desirable)
- Strong knowledge of budgeting, forecasting, and business case development
- Confidence working with senior leaders and diverse stakeholders
- Advanced Excel skills and experience with Power BI or similar tools
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Why consider this role?
