About The Role
SBFM is a leading provider of soft facilities management services. We believe there's a better way to deliver commercial cleaning and facilities management, constantly challenging the industry through innovation, technology, and exceptional service.
We're looking for a commercially-minded Account Analyst to join our Finance team at our Leeds Head Office. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in ensuring the financial integrity of our client contracts while providing valuable commercial insight that supports business performance.
Working closely with Operations, Contract Managers, and the wider Finance team, you'll help ensure contracts are accurately invoiced, financial performance is understood and analyzed, and commercial decisions are supported by reliable financial information. If you enjoy working with data, building relationships, and solving problems, this could be the perfect next step in your finance career.
Key Responsibilities
As an Account Analyst, you'll be responsible for:
- Preparing and issuing accurate client invoices in line with contractual terms, ensuring billing reflects agreed rates, service variations, and contract scope.
- Developing a strong understanding of client contracts, including pricing structures, uplifts, variable charges, and contractual changes.
- Reconciling labour, materials, subcontractor costs, and other expenditure against invoiced revenue, investigating and resolving discrepancies where required.
- Analyzing contract performance against budget, identifying trends, variances, and opportunities for improvement.
- Producing meaningful financial reports and responding to ad hoc analysis requests from Finance, Operations, and senior stakeholders.
- Working collaboratively with operational teams to provide commercial insight and support informed business decisions.
- Helping to improve financial processes, reporting accuracy, and overall contract performance through continuous improvement.
