Finance Business Partner

Two Circles is a global sports agency, connecting fans with sport properties using data. We work with some of the world’s biggest sports organisations – including the NFL, Premier League, Formula 1, Wimbledon and UEFA – and have four times been named Sport Industry Agency of the Year. 

We are seeking a Finance Business Partner to join our Finance team. As a Finance Business Partner, you will play a key role in liaising between the Finance department and various divisions. This role is responsible for delivering financial analysis, forecasting, and strategic support to drive informed decision-making, enhance financial performance, and achieve business objectives. 

The role will report into the Head of FP&A. We are seeking someone with strong attention to detail, analytical mindset, and a passion for the sports industry.  

What you would be getting up to:

• Ensure timely and accurate financial reporting for allocated division, including monthly management accounts and ad hoc reports. 

• Collaborate with division leaders to prepare budgets, forecasts, and long-term financial plans. 

• Provide detailed financial analysis, including variance analysis, financial modelling, and scenario planning. 

• Build strong relationships with key stakeholders, ensuring alignment between financial goals and business objectives. 

• Assist with year-end audit queries  

• Assisting with integrating finance operations across new acquisitions  

• Ad-hoc financial projects as needed 

The ideal background and skills we are looking for include:

• Newly qualified accountant (ACA/CIMA/ACCA or equivalent) 

• Excellent attention to detail 

• Experience dealing with high volumes of work and remaining organised 

• Good verbal and written communication 

• Ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced, ever changing environment 

• An ability to build strong working relationships with all levels of business 

• Strong interpersonal skills  

While these are the key role attributes, we recruit principally for drive, flexibility, emotional intelligence and a desire to succeed in a results-based but heavily team-orientated business. Even if you feel you don’t tick 100% of the boxes but feel you could bring value to the role, we’d still love to hear from you!

How do we work?

In short: we’re flexible! (*but we like being together)

We operate on a ‘work where you work best’ mandate, though in our experience, building relationships and communication, sharing expertise and learning from your colleagues is usually easier and more successful the more time we get to spend in the same place. If you do fancy coming into the office, we’ll look after you (daily breakfasts, free lunch on a Wednesday, morning fruit-drop and WeWork privileges). But if you also like days working from home, there won’t be any judgement from us, we’ll see you on Teams! And if you need to take your children for the school run, be our guest!

What can we offer you?

We offer a benefits package to suit you and your lifestyle! Out of a core monthly budget, you can choose your own comprehensive benefit package

• Renowned Team Days often throughout the year
• Summer Away Days
• 23 standard days of holiday (+ 1 Birthday, +2 for a ‘Big Life Event’ and +1 Admin Day), closure of office over Christmas (plus Bank Holidays)
• Discretionary Bonus based on company performance
• Performance Reviews every 6 months with discretionary salary increases
• Private healthcare (Vitality) and/or Health Cash Plan (Medicash)
• Mobile phone contribution
• Sport Challenge contribution
• Gym membership contribution
• 2x annual kit drops

Our recruitment process will be honest & thorough, and so will our roles. In return, we can offer honesty, integrity, and the chance to progress in the organisation as quickly as you develop within it.

Two Circles is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
