I am recruiting for a large International Banking organisation who urgently require a Finance Business Analyst with expertise in Finance and accounting principles (including Financial reporting, trial balances, debits and credits, retained earnings, reconciliations, and period-end processes) along with proven experience in Data, SQL, and Banking products (i.e., Trade Finance / FX / Money Markets / Derivatives / Loans / Treasury products) to support a major core Banking Transformation Programme.
This is a hands-on role focused on analysing, mapping, and reconciling Finance Data as services are migrated from a legacy core banking platform into strategic target systems. The successful candidate will combine strong Business Analysis skills with Finance Data expertise, SQL capabilities, and a solid understanding of banking products.
