If you’re looking for a career that will help you stand out, join HSBC, and fulfil your potential - whether you want a career that could take you to the top, or simply take you in an exciting new direction, HSBC offers opportunities, support and rewards that will take you further.
We're one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world, with a network that covers more than 50 countries and territories. We aim to be where the growth is, enabling businesses to thrive and economies to prosper, and, ultimately, helping people to fulfil their hopes and realise their ambitions.
We're currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Finance Analyst - HSBC UK Finance.
Within this role, you’ll sit at the heart of how HSBC UK reports performance and stays in control. In addition, you’ll own key parts of the period-end close, deliver high-quality financial and regulatory reporting (including IFRS, FINREP, GSIB and intercompany oversight), and be a primary contact for external audit and annual reporting so your work is visible, trusted, and deadline-critical. You’ll also partner closely with Finance, Risk, Compliance and senior stakeholders to shape priorities and key messages, write briefing papers for senior management/committees/Boards, and drive process improvements that enhance efficiency and strengthen the control environment, all while building breadth through HSBC UK subsidiaries oversight (including M&S) and developing others through coaching and knowledge-sharing.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
