Transaction Analyst - Hybrid (Birmingham)
We are seeking a proactive and detail-focused Transaction Analyst to join our finance team and play a vital role in supporting the smooth, accurate and efficient delivery of finance operations across our growing international business. You will be responsible for a broad range of core finance activities, including contractor payments, client and contractor invoicing, accounts payable, collections support, cash allocation, bank reconciliations and reporting.
Working within a modern finance function supporting clients across more than 15 countries and managing payments for over 600 contractors globally, you will ensure transactions are processed accurately, on time and in line with strong financial controls. This is more than a transactional processing role; you will contribute to maintaining high-quality financial data, resolving exceptions, improving processes and supporting a resilient, scalable finance operation that enables the continued growth of the business.
Key Responsibilities
- Process contractor timesheets, contractor payment runs, client invoicing, contractor invoicing, support collections activities, and cash allocation.
- Manage accounts payable invoices, supplier payments, non-contractor payments, and support daily cash postings, ensuring transactions are correctly recorded and supported by appropriate documentation.
- Support preparation of bank reconciliations, transaction schedules, working capital reports, and month-end finance information in line with agreed deadlines.
- Maintain accurate contractor, customer, supplier, employee, and banking records, proactively identifying and escalating any discrepancies or data quality issues.
- Maintain clear and accurate records of all transactions and approvals to support compliance, governance, and audit requirements.
- Investigate transaction exceptions, queries, and discrepancies, identifying root causes and working with colleagues to resolve issues efficiently and prevent recurrence.
- Support the implementation and ongoing improvement of finance systems, automation initiatives, AI-enabled workflows, and process enhancements.
- Produce reliable, well-structured financial data to support management reporting, financial planning, business partnering activities, and commercial decision-making.
- Work closely with the Finance Operations Manager, Operations Lead, Payroll Lead, Finance Business Partner, and wider finance team to ensure activities are delivered accurately, efficiently, and in line with business requirements.
- Support finance operations across multiple countries, ensuring compliance with local payment, tax, payroll, and supplier requirements, and escalating potential risks where appropriate.
- Develop knowledge across a broad range of transactional finance activities to provide effective holiday and absence cover within the team while maintaining appropriate financial controls.
