Finance Systems Analyst | Manchester / Hybrid Working | Salary to £45k | 12 Month Contract
Power BI • VBA • SQL • Essential
If you enjoy working at the intersection of finance, data and systems, this is a genuinely meaty role. We’re recruiting on behalf of a business undergoing a large-scale transformation of its finance systems. They need a hands-on Finance Systems Analyst/Business Analyst who can dive into the details — rebuilding models, shaping reports, and making the data work. This is not a fluffy BA role. It’s about doing, not just documenting.
Why This Role?
* High-profile finance transformation project
* Heavy exposure to Power BI reporting and system-driven insights
* Real ownership of data, models and outputs
* Work closely with a senior Finance Systems Project Manager
* Broad visibility across finance, operations and treasury
What You’ll Be Doing
* Rebuilding and improving finance models, templates and working files
* Handling large datasets for migration, reconciliation and testing
* Developing and supporting Power BI dashboards and reporting structures
* Using SQL to extract and manipulate data from finance systems
* Applying VBA to automate and enhance Excel-based tools
* Supporting system testing, process redesign and go-live activity
* Acting as a key link between finance teams and the project function
What You Must Have
This role will only suit candidates with strong technical capability:
* Advanced Excel (complex models, pivots, transformations)
* Power BI – hands-on dashboard development
* SQL – confident extracting and working with data
* VBA – automation and tool enhancement
* Experience supporting either finance systems, system changes/upgrades or transformation projects
* Strong data handling, reconciliation and problem-solving skills
Who This Suits
* Someone who enjoys hands-on data and systems work
* Detail-driven, analytical and naturally curious
* Comfortable working at a pace in a change environment
* Happy being the “go-to” person for data and reporting during a project
