Commercial Finance Analyst
Are you a part-qualified accountant who enjoys getting under the skin of the numbers, building robust analysis, and wants to develop into a genuine commercial finance business partner?
A globally recognised consumer brands business is looking for a Finance Analyst to join its EMEA Commercial Finance team.
Operating across multiple international markets and managing a portfolio of well-known consumer brands, this is a business with a strong heritage, ambitious growth plans, and a culture that genuinely invests in developing its people. You'll be joining a high-performing commercial finance team where you'll work closely with senior finance stakeholders and gain exposure to the decisions that drive revenue, margin and profitability across the region.
This is an excellent opportunity for a part-qualified accountant who wants to move beyond reporting and into a role where commercial insight, forecasting and business performance are central. You'll become the analytical engine behind a major European region, owning key reporting and forecasting processes while developing the commercial understanding needed to influence decision-making over time.
