If you are part or fully qualified (ACA/ACCA/CIMA), confident with Excel and financial modelling, comfortable with BI tools (Power BI/Tableau/SQL) and not afraid to challenge and influence with data - this is one for you. Some of the key duties of this role will include: Support the delivery of the annual budget, quarterly forecasts, and long-range plans Develop financial models to evaluate operational scenarios, cost-saving initiatives, and strategic investments. Produce regular financial performance reports, highlighting variances, trends, risks, and opportunities. Undertake detailed analysis of P&Ls, labour costs, throughput, and operational KPIs. Identify inefficiencies and recommend actionable improvements to support margin and service improvements. Provide robust insight to support pricing, contracting, and commercial decision-making where relevant. Present analysis and recommendations to both financial and non-financial stakeholders. Translate complex data into clear, meaningful insight for operational decision-makers. Develop dashboards, reporting tools, and KPIs to improve visibility of performance The exposure here is career defining, a direct line of sight to senior leadership, and a genuine, clear and structured progression path as the team continues to grow!
