Finance Business Partner (Oil Trading)

**Finance Business Partner (Oil Trading) \| Singapore** If you've spent years in audit or finance looking at oil trading businesses through a spreadsheet — reconciling P\&L, questioning mark\-to\-market adjustments, signing off on numbers you didn't fully see come to life — this is your chance to step inside the room where it happens. My client is an ambitious oil trading business looking for a **Finance Business Partner** to bridge the gap between the front office and finance. You'll work shoulder\-to\-shoulder with traders and operators, understand how physical and paper positions translate into P\&L, and become the finance voice that trading actually listens to — not just the one that checks their work after the fact. **What you'll actually be doing:** * Getting close to daily trading P\&L, VaR, and limit utilization — not just reporting it, but understanding *why* it moves * Partnering with traders and ops on hedge effectiveness, margin optimization, and new trading opportunities * Building financial models and scenario/sensitivity analyses that inform real commercial decisions * Leading budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis for the business * Turning complex trading data into insights the CEO and management team actually act on * Driving better reporting through Power BI, Tableau, Python, or Excel\-based automation **You're a great fit if you:** * Have 4–8 years in FP\&A, management reporting, or business analytics — audit background welcome, especially with oil/commodity trading clients * Understand (or are hungry to properly understand) trading P\&L, mark\-to\-market accounting, derivatives, and hedging * Are a CPA/CA/CFA/ACCA\-qualified finance professional who wants more than a reporting seat * Want to build real relationships with commercial teams, not just review their numbers * Bring sharp analytical instincts, sound commercial judgement, and the confidence to challenge and advise, not just record This is a role for someone who wants finance to be a strategic partner to trading — not a compliance afterthought. 📍 Singapore \| Reporting to the Financial Controller
