NXTGEN are delighted to be supporting a high-profile, global business in their search for a Finance Analyst. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone at the beginning of their career in Finance & Accountancy, or for those with 1-2 years' experience now looking to accelerate their progression in a more commercially focused, analytical role. This Finance Analyst vacancy has come about due to an internal promotion – a clear reflection of the progression opportunities available within the team.
As Finance Analyst, you’ll sit at the heart of commercial decision making, working closely with both UK and international marketing teams to help drive business performance. Initially, you’ll support with core financial tasks such as data analysis, reconciliations, and journal entries. As you build confidence in the role, your remit will grow to include MI reporting, budgeting, forecasting and the production of commercial insights that feed directly into strategic decisions.
This role will suit someone with gravitas, curiosity, and the confidence to ask the right questions. The Finance Analyst will be encouraged to challenge the status quo, working across teams to ensure commercial decisions are backed by robust data. You'll be working in a business-facing role, providing insight and visibility to senior stakeholders and directly influencing outcomes.
Key responsibilities will include:
* Preparation of journals in line with internal financial controls
* Analysis of weekly and periodic reports, identifying anomalies and reporting on trends
* Reconciliation of reports and purchase orders to maintain data accuracy
* Reviewing financial performance vs budget across commercial (sales and marketing) teams
* Reviewing product pricing and ensuring all data is accurate and up to date
* Supporting Marketing teams on new product launches, with a focus on P&L performance
This is very much a development role, ideal for recent graduates with a relevant degree (Finance & Accountancy, Economics, Mathematics or similar), or for those with 1–2 years’ experience in Finance who are now looking to step into a more commercial role. Full study support (ACCA/CIMA) will be provided, and you’ll be joining a business with a strong track record of internal development – the expectation is that you'll progress within 18–24 months.
You’ll need to be analytically minded, inquisitive, and confident in communicating with stakeholders. Solid Excel skills are essential, and any experience with tools such as Power BI would be a welcome bonus, though not essential.
Salary is dependent on experience and qualification.
