Application for Finance Business Partner, reference FBP-114
Dear Ms Clarke,
I am applying for the Finance Business Partner role advertised on your careers site (reference FBP-114). I am a Chartered Management Accountant with seven years in manufacturing and logistics finance.
At Irwell Packaging I own month-end close, budgeting and forecasting for a £60m business unit. I cut the close from eight working days to five and built the rolling forecast the board now uses.
Your advert asks for someone who can explain cost drivers to operations teams. I partner three site managers on cost-per-unit reviews every month, and that is the part of my job I enjoy most.
My notice period is one month. I would welcome the chance to discuss the role, and I have enclosed my CV.
Yours sincerely,
Helen Achebe
