Finance Business Partner | Bristol

Job Description

Location: Bristol (hybrid)

Hours: Full time, permanent

You're reading this ad, so you're ready to outthink. To take your skills, knowledge and experience beyond what you thought possible. And TMP268 is the place to do it.

TMP268 is a creatively strategic marketing agency, home to the Armed Forces Recruitment Service. Protecting the nation begins here.

And what does that mean for you? It means new challenges to rise to. Being encouraged and empowered to outthink at every opportunity. It means creating industry-first solutions, harnessing emerging tech, and realising AI's potential to create human connection. It means feeling valued for everything you bring. And work you can be proud to call your own, whatever your role.

The role

As Finance Business Partner, you'll play a key role in helping TMP268 make informed commercial decisions, providing insight, challenge and guidance to support our continued success. You'll be responsible for managing the TMP268 profit and loss account, driving financial performance, and helping teams understand how their decisions impact profitability.

Working closely with TMP268 leadership and the wider finance and commercial teams, you'll provide accurate forecasting, reporting and analysis, turning financial data into clear recommendations and opportunities. You'll act as a trusted partner across the business, challenging ways of working and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, margins and commercial outcomes.

You'll work collaboratively with teams across TMP268, including Client Services and Media, to track performance against budgets, understand delivery costs, and ensure we continue to deliver excellent work for our clients while meeting our financial objectives.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being close to the business, influencing decisions, improving processes and bringing commercial thinking to a creative environment.

Who we're looking for

To excel here, you'll be commercially minded, analytical and confident communicating financial insights to a range of stakeholders. You'll have experience in a commercial finance or business partnering role, with a strong understanding of P&L ownership, forecasting and margin optimisation.

You'll be comfortable challenging senior stakeholders, using data to influence decisions and identifying opportunities to improve business performance. You'll have excellent attention to detail, strong organisational skills and the ability to manage priorities in a fast-paced environment.

You'll bring:

• Experience owning and managing a P&L, with accountability for financial performance
• Strong experience in financial planning, forecasting and commercial analysis
• The ability to translate complex financial information into clear, actionable insights
• Confidence building relationships and influencing stakeholders across different teams
• A proactive approach to improving processes and driving efficiencies
• Advanced Excel skills and strong analytical capability

You'll ideally be a qualified or part-qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), with experience working in a commercial finance environment. Experience within a media, marketing or agency environment would be beneficial, but isn't essential.

Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys collaborating with others, bringing curiosity and challenge to the conversation, and helping TMP268 continue to outthink.

What's in it for me?

You're set to gain so much from being part of our team, including:

• Time off to rest or conquer items on the bucket list with 27 days' holiday (+ 8 bank holidays) and a holiday purchase benefit where you can buy up to an additional 5 days.
• Great company paid benefits including our health cash plan, life assurance, company pension and access to an Employee Assistance Programme.
• A hybrid working pattern plus other great flexible benefits such as a TechScheme, free mortgage advice and more.
• Individual development plans with customised learning solutions, including clear career pathways designed to support individual growth and career advancement.
• Excellent health benefits – get cash back on your everyday healthcare costs with our flexible dental and cash plan benefits or grab some great discounts at your local gym.
• Opportunities to give back and care for our environment with eco-friendly benefits like our cycle to work scheme.
