About the role

Our Woking-based Finance team are true business partners. They don't just report the numbers; they explain what they mean and help the business act on them.

As Senior Finance Analyst, you will report to the Head of FP&A and work closely with senior leadership across the business. You will own the forecasting and planning cycle, bring financial insight to life for non-finance audiences, and play a genuine partnering role with some of our most senior stakeholders.

This is a role for someone who's commercially sharp, confident in a room with an MD, and passionate about turning numbers into a clear story.

•         Taking responsibility for cashflow forecasting, including risk and opportunity management and early warning indicators that keep the business ahead of the curve.

•         Acting as the finance partner to the Chief People Officer, Partnerships Director and Head of Business Rates — interpreting numbers, challenging forecasts and supporting smart decisions.

•         Working with the Commercial Finance team to produce clear, standardised outputs that make it easy for anyone in the business to understand what the numbers are saying.

•         Proactively identifying opportunities to streamline processes and reporting — you won’t wait to be asked.

Knowledge and skills

You’re someone who takes initiative, manages expectations well under pressure, and genuinely enjoys building relationships across a business.

•         ACCA or CIMA qualified, with post-qualified experience

•         Demonstrable experience in an FP&A or Commercial Finance function

•         Advanced Excel skills for financial modelling and data analysis

•         Confident using PowerPoint to present numbers clearly to non-finance audiences

•         Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to build relationships across a business
