About the Role
Love numbers? More interested in the story behind them? We're working with a growing Financial Services business looking for a commercially-minded Senior Finance Analyst who can do more than report the numbers. They want someone who can spot trends, identify what's driving performance, and turn complex financial data into a narrative that influences business decisions.
This is a highly visible role with regular exposure to senior leadership, giving you the opportunity to make a genuine impact across the organisation.
What You'll Be Doing
- Building and enhancing financial models that support strategic decision-making
- Analysing large, complex datasets to identify trends, risks, and opportunities
- Turning financial performance into clear, meaningful insights for stakeholders
- Supporting budgeting, forecasting and business planning processes
- Partnering with teams across the business to understand performance drivers
- Helping leaders answer not just "what happened?" but "why did it happen?" and "what happens next?"
- Driving improvements in reporting, analysis and business intelligence
