We’re looking for a Financial Reporting Analyst to join our Financial and Regulatory Reporting (FRR) team within Group Finance. This is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in the planning and delivery of Royal London’s financial and regulatory reporting, supporting the production of high-quality, accurate and timely outputs that meet internal and external requirements.

You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders across Group Finance, external auditors and the wider business, gaining exposure to a broad range of financial reporting activities while contributing to continuous improvement initiatives within the team.

About The Role

  • Assist with the Group consolidation process and preparation of subsidiary financial statements and board reporting.
  • Prepare initial drafts of key deliverables, including financial reports, ARA roll-forwards and selected Audit Committee papers.
  • Act as a key point of contact for external auditors, supporting audit requests and ensuring timely delivery of required information.
  • Support the preparation of regulatory returns and manage the quarterly provisions refresh process.
  • Contribute to process improvement initiatives, maximising the use of finance systems and tools such as Oracle and Workiva.
  • Provide support on ad-hoc projects and wider Financial Reporting team objectives as required.

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.
