- Cash & Working Capital for a large, complex UK organisation.

This is a highly visible role focused on cash, debt and working capital performance, partnering with senior finance and operational stakeholders to understand what is driving performance and identify opportunities to optimise cash.

This is much more than a reporting role. You'll use financial and operational data to provide meaningful insight, explain movements against budget and forecast, and help senior stakeholders understand risks, opportunities and actions required to improve financial outcomes.

• Business partnering with senior stakeholders around cash, debt and working capital
• Analysing performance against budgets and forecasts and identifying the underlying drivers
• Turning complex financial and operational data into clear commercial insight
• Challenging stakeholders and identifying opportunities to improve cash performance
• Supporting cash, debt and collections forecasting and planning
• Producing insightful reporting and commentary for senior leadership
• Improving reporting, forecasting and analytical processes through better use of data and automation

You'll be a fully qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA accountant with a strong finance business partnering background and the confidence to influence senior stakeholders.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Strong finance business partnering experience
• Experience analysing and explaining the drivers behind financial performance
• Exposure to cash flow, working capital, debt or cash reporting
• Strong budgeting and forecasting experience
• Good analytical and data skills
• Advanced Excel skills
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Exposure to Anaplan and/or Power BI would be advantageous

This is a great opportunity to join a high-profile, complex organisation at a time when there is an increasing focus on understanding and optimising cash performance
. You'll have the opportunity to help shape how cash analysis is used across the business while gaining significant exposure to senior finance leadership.

The role offers a £60,000-£65,000 salary, annual bonus, generous pension and benefits package, and flexible hybrid working.

• The year you gained your full accounting qualification
• Your current right to work status
