Senior Financial Analyst

Lincoln (Office Based)

£45,000-£55,000 per annum

We're recruiting for a high-trust, senior FP&A role in a fast-moving commercial business. If you enjoy turning numbers into decisions (and you want more ownership than your current role allows), this could be a strong next step. This is the most senior finance position within a small team, so you'll have real visibility and plenty of autonomy. The hiring manager is open to a range of experience levels, as long as you show clear growth potential and leadership capability.

• A finance role with influence across the business
• Ownership of budgeting, forecasting and scenario planning (not just reporting)
• A chance to develop your leadership and be trusted with responsibility early.

You’ll lead financial planning and analysis, strengthen forecasting discipline, and provide clear insight to senior stakeholders.

• Lead the annual budgeting process with budget holders and key business partners
• Run regular reforecasts, bridging variance vs. budget / YoY / previous forecast
• Manage and control planning scenarios within MS Dynamics 365 Business Central, ensuring consistency across planning cycles
• Produce insightful management reporting for senior leaders
• Develop and publish Power BI dashboards and KPIs to support decision-making across the business
• Champion smarter ways of working through technology, data and continuous improvement

• Forecast accuracy vs actuals
• Budgets and forecasts delivered on time
• Clear, actionable insight that leaders actually use
• Strong adoption of dashboards and reporting

• You're highly analytical and enjoy modelling, forecasting and scenario work
• You're confident with Excel and finance systems, and you like improving how things are done
• You can build relationships quickly, challenge assumptions constructively, and influence stakeholders
• You're ready to be seen as the "go-to" person and lead when needed

Desirable:
Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central, Power BI, and/or sector exposure (e.g., agriculture/manufacturing).

This is a small insight into a senior role with genuine ownership and a clear leadership angle. If you’d like to explore it, apply or drop us a message for a confidential chat.
