Job Description - Finance Analyst

You're good with numbers. You actually enjoy digging through data that would send most people into a coma. You've built more spreadsheets than IKEA has flat-packs. You've got that rare combo of analytical brain and commercial curiosity, and you're not afraid to ask, "Why on earth are we doing it like this?"

Well, guess what? This national business in Leeds City Centre needs a Finance Analyst just like you.

Here's what you'll actually be doing:

  • Sitting in the business rather than lobbing spreadsheets over the fence. You'll partner with teams, figure out what's really going on, and then tell the story behind the numbers.
  • Month-end fun: reporting, variance analysis, and working out why the numbers don't match the plan (again).
  • Keeping an eye on budgets and helping practice areas stay on track (or at least know when they've gone off-piste).
  • KPI reporting. Yes, there'll be dashboards. Yes, there'll be more acronyms than you'd like.
  • Forecasting, modelling, analysis - basically using data to help us make better decisions and fewer expensive mistakes.
  • Calculating bonus schemes (weirdly satisfying, unless you're the one getting paid).
  • Chipping in on finance projects aimed at making things less painful for everyone.

You'll be talking to:

  • Pretty much everyone in the finance team
  • Operational heads and managers - they'll rely on you to translate finance into plain English
  • And sometimes the BI team - bring biscuits, they're nice people.

The must-haves:

  • A qualification or background in finance/accounting. (We're not picky about the exact letters after your name, but you need to know your stuff.)
  • Excel wizardry - we're talking VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, maybe even some light VBA (or at least the curiosity to figure it out).
  • A head for numbers and an eye for detail - because close enough isn't good enough.
  • Decent communication skills. You don't need to be a poet, but if you can't explain your numbers to a non-finance person, we'll all have a bad time.
  • An itch to improve things. If you're just here to clock in and clock out, this won't be your scene.

Still reading? Good.
If you're the kind of Analyst who likes to challenge, explore, explain, and make finance a bit less soul-destroying, then let's talk.

Apply. Or don't. But if this speaks your language, you probably should.
