About the Role

In this brand-new and pivotal role, you will directly contribute to shaping financial strategy that aligns with Costello Medical's long-term goals, ensuring the smooth running of an independently-owned medical communications agency. As our Finance team continues to grow in both size and capability, you will leverage data analytics to produce insightful management accounts and effective Business Intelligence reports that support decision-making at all levels of the organisation, including the Board.

With a keen eye for detail and an aptitude for data-driven analysis, you will collaborate with various divisions across the company to understand their financial needs and provide tailored insights and solutions. You will also champion continuous improvements in financial processes and systems, ensuring best practices are adhered to and efficiency is maximised wherever possible.

Given our ethos and focus on entry level recruitment, this is a rare opportunity for someone to utilise their prior experience and join our Leadership team in a role that will provide them with a wealth of opportunities to contribute to the strategy and direction of the company.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Management Accounts:
  Overseeing the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual management accounts, including variance analysis and performance monitoring
• Data Analytics:
  Utilising advanced analytics to enhance financial reporting, developing financial models, and identifying trends for strategic planning and efficiency improvements
• Business Partnering:
  Building strong relationships with key stakeholders across various departments, providing financial expertise to support business objectives, budget management, and financial planning
• Auditing and Compliance:
  Conducting internal audits to ensure adherence to financial policies, internal controls, and regulatory requirements
• Continuous Improvement:
  Identifying and implementing process improvements across the Finance function, keeping abreast of industry trends and best practices in accounting, data analytics, and business partnering

As a Finance Data Analyst & Business Partner, you will spearhead a range of projects for the Finance team and contribute to its strategic growth.

Hybrid Working Policy:We recognise that home-working can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments. At the same time, we believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost.

Therefore, we offer flexible working arrangements that allow our colleagues who have passed probation to work from home for up to half of the time, measured across a 2-week rolling period. During your probationary period (normally the first 6 months of the role) you will be able to work from home for 1 day per week.

Part-Time Working:Our standard working week is 37.5 hours, Monday to Friday; however, we can also consider applicants looking for a part-time role of 30 hours per week.
