Finance Analyst - Record to Report

Function: Finance – Reporting & Accounting ("R&A")

Location: Edinburgh St Andrew’s Square based – hybrid home & office working

Salary: £35,000 - £42,000 base depending on experience, plus full benefits listed below

Contract: Permanent

Closing Date: 4th August 2026. Please note, we may close vacancies early where we receive significant numbers of applications.

We have an excellent opportunity for a part-qualified accountant to join our Reporting and Accounting team in our head office in Edinburgh. The role involves helping to add value by way of review, challenge, analysis and financial control while acting as a key point of contact for colleagues in our shared service centre in Krakow.

Working within Reporting and Accounting you'll have exposure to and be responsible for elements of period-end close activities and associated external audit, incorporating legal entity management reporting, assessment of financial controls and other associated ad‑hoc tasks. The role is a unique blend of core financial responsibilities and dedicated involvement in our upcoming Enterprise Resource Planning system changeover to ensure the integrity, cleanliness and migration readiness of existing financial data to support a successful transition.

You'll be a key point person and coordination point for the accounting processes performed in the Heineken European shared service centre based in Krakow, and you'll also business partner with other internal teams such as Commercial Finance, Supply Chain Finance, Legal, Process Control and Improvement, Internal Audit and Digital and Technology. Extensive collaboration with the external auditors will also be required.

This is an exciting period of change across the finance function as it supports Heineken’s ongoing Global Digital Backbone project, and you'll be joining a hard‑working team in a fast‑paced environment that continually challenges the status quo.

This role is office‑based, but we currently operate a hybrid working framework that allows us to benefit from both working in the office and  work a minimum of 3 days in the office, a Tuesday and Thursday are for all, with the third day being selected by the colleague, although you’re more than welcome to come and work from the office on those days too.
