🔍 Financial Reconciliation Analyst (6‑Month FTC)
đź“Ť Bristol (Hybrid) | đź’Ľ Contract | đź’° Competitive Day Rate
Apply now — this is a high‑impact, ownership‑led analytical role.
🚀 The Opportunity
We’re hiring a Financial Reconciliation Analyst to take full ownership of a complex, business‑critical reconciliation project.
Since early 2024, a significant volume of funds has moved between our business and a strategic third‑party partner. Records on both sides don’t align — and this work has never had a single owner. That changes now.
This role exists to rebuild the truth from source data, reconcile all historic transactions, identify what is owed vs. paid, and drive both parties to an agreed, defensible financial position.
This is not a routine accounting or bookkeeping role. It’s an analytical problem‑solving exercise for someone who enjoys messy data, ambiguity, and autonomy.
🧠What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll independently lead the reconciliation end‑to‑end, including:
* Analysing bank statements and transactional data to trace cash movements
* Rebuilding payment flows and reconciling amounts owed vs. paid
* Identifying discrepancies, anomalies, offsets and missing transactions
* Designing and documenting a clear reconciliation methodology
* Engaging directly with the third‑party finance team to challenge data and agree outcomes
* Producing clean, auditable working files and summary reports
* Highlighting any systemic or process issues uncovered
* Supporting ad‑hoc financial or operational analysis where needed
đź› Tools & Ways of Working
* Excel (advanced) — your primary analysis tool
* AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or similar) — expected as part of your daily workflow
* SQL or Python — useful but not required
* Highly autonomous, evidence‑driven, methodical approach
* Clear written and verbal communication with stakeholders
✅ What We’re Looking For
We care more about how you think than your job title.
You’ll likely be a strong fit if you:
* Are highly analytical and enjoy untangling complex, unstructured data
* Can work independently and take full ownership of a problem
* Are confident challenging external stakeholders using evidence
* Have excellent attention to detail and documentation discipline
* Actively use AI tools to speed up and strengthen your analysis
Nice to have (not essential):
* Experience in utilities, fintech, payments, telco billing, or intercompany reconciliation
* Exposure to dispute resolution or forensic-style financial analysis
đź“Ť Location & Contract
* Location: Bristol (Hybrid working model)
* Contract: Fixed‑term contract — 6 months
* Project duration: Core work expected within ~3 months, with buffer for follow‑on activity
* Rate: Competitive day rate (finalised after internal benchmarking)
🌱 Why This Role?
* Genuine ownership — you design the approach and drive the outcome
* High visibility and real business impact
* Access to stakeholders and data with minimal red tape
* A focused, self‑contained project that will strengthen your analytical profile
