Are you ready to drive change where it matters most by using your financial expertise to influence decision-making and safeguard public money?
As a Finance Business Partner in the Finance and Procurement Branch at Food Standards Scotland (FSS), you will help shape financial reporting in an increasingly complex fiscal environment. You will work closely with FSS branches to provide expert advice on finance and procurement, supporting vital purchasing decisions and ensuring that public funds are used efficiently and transparently.
You will develop a broad understanding of FSS’s financial and business processes and gain valuable insight into the Scottish Public Finance Manual. As part of the Management Accounting Team, you will contribute to managing the organisation’s budget, supporting the delivery of its statutory obligations and strategic priorities. This is an opportunity to deepen your financial acumen, contribute to public service, and build a career with lasting impact.
Responsibilities
Support the Senior Finance Business Partner and wider team in budget planning and control, ensuring timely, accurate, and relevant financial reporting, draft budget preparation, and year-end accounts.
Review budget monitoring returns, checking forecasts, year-to-date actuals, and budget data, and challenge areas requiring clarification to ensure robust financial oversight.
Produce monthly financial monitoring reports and forecasts for branches, highlighting issues to inform senior management decision-making.
Build and maintain effective working relationships with branch staff and wider FSS colleagues.
Review monthly expenditure for allocated branches, compare Oracle finance system data, identify accruals, prepayments, and adjustments, and process journals as required.
Assist with financial ledger updates, including performing monthly reconciliations.
Contribute to continuous improvement, value for money, and best practice in financial processes across the organisation.
Create requisitions for goods and services in the Oracle purchasing system, confirm receipt of goods/services, and validate invoices for payment.
Assist in maintaining overall financial control, ensuring the integrity of financial data, systems, and records.
Ensure adequate financial controls and clear audit trails are in place to support accounting and reporting processes.
Work flexibly across the team, adapting quickly to changing priorities and business needs.
