Sonic Summary

info
  • The company is seeking a Finance Analyst who enjoys interpreting financial data and communicating insights to aid decision-making.
  • Candidates should have FP&A, Finance Analyst, or Management Accounting experience, with a requirement of at least a few years in a relevant role.
  • The position offers a salary of up to £40k, depending on experience, along with study support for career development.
  • Strong Excel skills and familiarity with accounting software are essential, and the role emphasizes the importance of understanding the bigger financial picture.
  • The job includes responsibilities like cashflow forecasting, producing reports, and partnering with teams to enhance their budget comprehension.

You like numbers, but as a Finance Analyst, you also like telling stories with numbers. Not bedtime stories, business stories. Ones that help leaders make better decisions and (hopefully) avoid terrible ones.

This business needs a Finance Analyst who can build models, spot trends, and make sense of financial data without getting lost in the weeds. If you love spreadsheets but can also explain what they actually mean to people who don't, keep reading.

What will your day look like?

  • Creating financial models that don't just look fancy but actually help the business make decisions.
  • Owning cashflow forecasting-because if we don't know where the money's going, we're in trouble.
  • Producing reports that highlight key variances (and figuring out why they exist).
  • Partnering with different teams, so they actually understand their budgets rather than just nodding along in meetings.
  • Supporting the month-end process (yes, we know, everyone's favourite).
  • Finding ways to make our financial systems and processes better.

What do you need?

  • Qualified or part-qualified (CIMA, ACCA, ACA).
  • FP&A, Finance Analyst, or Management Accounting experience-this isn't an entry-level gig.
  • Strong Excel skills-if pivot tables scare you, this isn't the one.
  • You've used some kind of accounting software before (we're not expecting you to code it, just use it).
  • Commercially minded-you understand finance isn't just about numbers, it's about the bigger picture.
  • Able to juggle deadlines without dropping the ball.

What's in it for you?

  • A salary of up to £40k (depending on experience).
  • Study support to aid your career development.
  • Hybrid and flexible working.
  • 25 days annual leave + your birthday off - nobody wants to work on their birthday.

You'll be joining a fast-paced business, where finance is taken seriously and has a real impact. If you're a Finance Analyst and this sounds like your kind of challenge, click apply.
