The Opportunity

We are looking for an ambitious Financial Consultant to join a growing financial consultancy supporting businesses with financial analysis, commercial decision-making and funding strategy.

This is not a traditional banking role. You will work across real commercial situations, helping clients understand their financial position, assess potential funding routes and make better-informed business decisions.

The position offers exposure to businesses across multiple sectors and is particularly suited to someone who enjoys combining financial analysis with communication, problem-solving and commercial thinking.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Reviewing company financial information, management accounts and cash-flow positions.
• Building and interpreting financial models, forecasts and scenario analyses.
• Supporting clients in understanding their financial and commercial position.
• Assessing business funding requirements and researching suitable commercial funding options.
• Preparing financial summaries, reports and presentations.
• Comparing commercial finance structures based on cost, term, security requirements and business objectives.
• Conducting market, company and sector research.
• Supporting senior consultants with more complex client assignments.
• Liaising with lenders, finance providers and other professional parties where appropriate.
• Helping businesses prepare information required when approaching potential finance providers.
• Identifying financial risks, cash-flow pressures and potential areas for commercial improvement.
• Maintaining accurate client records and ensuring work is completed in accordance with internal compliance procedures.

• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Continuous professional development
• Commercial awareness and an interest in how businesses operate.
• Strong attention to detail.
• The ability to manage several pieces of work simultaneously.

Previous consultancy experience is advantageous but not essential for candidates entering through the graduate or trainee pathway.

Successful junior candidates will receive structured development covering:

• Financial statement analysis
• Commercial finance
• Cash-flow forecasting
• Financial modelling
• Risk analysis
• Client communication
• Business funding structures

• Company pension
• Regular performance and career-development reviews
• Clear progression into Senior Financial Consultant and management-level positions

High-performing consultants will have the opportunity to take greater ownership of client relationships and more complex commercial assignments as they progress.

Important Regulatory Scope

This role is focused on commercial financial consultancy, analysis and business support.

The position does not involve providing regulated investment advice or making personal recommendations concerning regulated investments unless such activity is separately conducted within the appropriate regulatory permissions and framework.

Employees are expected to work strictly within the scope of the firm's services and internal compliance procedures.

Career Progression

This position is designed to provide a genuine career path rather than simply a first job in finance.
