Group Finance Analyst

Join our FP&A team, turning complex data into clear commercial insight across 400+ UK & Ireland clients. You'll influence sales, margin and profitability reporting while supporting forecasting, budgeting and revenue analysis. If you're commercially minded, analytically strong and passionate about making numbers drive better decisions, we'd love to hear from you.

The Group Finance Analyst sits within the FP&A department and provides accurate, timely and commercially relevant sales, margin and profitability reporting across more than 400 clients in the UK and Ireland. The role consolidates high volumes of data from multiple systems and translates them into clear insight at Board, client, product and site level.

Working closely with Account Development, Client Experience and Finance, the role supports revenue recognition, sales and rebate accruals, budgeting and forecasting, and the continued development of client profitability reporting.
