Finance Analyst

If you want to know why the numbers moved, not just that they did, keep reading. The package is strong too. There's an employer pension contribution of up to 10%, 33 days' holiday with the option to buy two more weeks, enhanced family leave, a cost-of-living pay review and hybrid working. A well-established business is looking for a Financial Analyst to be the finance lead for revenue and direct costs across a number of its business streams.

It's a part-qualified role with real ownership. You'll be the person the business asks when revenue or margin doesn't look right. Each month you'll run the close for your area. That covers accruals, intercompany recharges, journals and ad-hoc invoicing. You'll review revenue and margin against budget and prior month, investigate and resolve data queries, validate supplier cost invoices and complete the balance sheet reconciliations.

You'll also contribute to the annual budget, management and board reporting, and the external audit, all within a SOX-controlled environment. That's good experience to have on your CV at this stage. The data is high-volume and sometimes complex, so you'll need to be comfortable working through large datasets and explaining what you find clearly to non-finance people. You'll be studying ACCA, CIMA or equivalent, with finance experience, a good grasp of financial controls and at least intermediate Excel.

Advanced Excel would be a bonus. Mid Suffolk, between Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket | Fixed term, up to 15 months | Hybrid To find out more, contact Richard Newcombe or Dan Andrews at Oakhill Recruitment.
