Job Details

Your new company
A fast-growing and ambitious consumer-led business based in Manchester is looking to appoint a Finance Analyst into its expanding finance team. Following continued growth, this is a newly created position offering the opportunity to join an evolving finance function and play a key role in supporting commercial decision-making.

Your new role
Working closely with the wider finance team and key stakeholders across the business, you'll provide analysis and insight to help understand performance, identify trends and support strategic decision-making. You'll assist with budgeting and forecasting, analyse revenue, costs and profitability, produce regular management information and help explain key variances against budget and forecast. You'll also work with non-finance teams to improve reporting, develop KPIs and provide meaningful insight into business performance. As a newly created role, there will be plenty of opportunity to shape reporting, improve processes and develop the position as the business continues to grow.
What you'll need to succeed
You'll ideally be a newly qualified ACA/ACCA/CIMA accountant, with strong analytical skills and a genuine interest in commercial finance. You'll be confident working with large datasets and Excel, with the ability to turn financial information into clear commercial insight. You'll also be proactive, inquisitive and comfortable building relationships with stakeholders outside of finance. Experience within a fast-paced, consumer, retail or e-commerce environment would be beneficial but isn't essential.

What you'll get in return
This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-growth Manchester business in a newly created role with plenty of scope to develop. You'll gain broad commercial exposure, work closely with stakeholders across the organisation and have the opportunity to make a genuine impact on how the business uses financial information. You'll receive a competitive salary and benefits package alongside strong opportunities for progression as the finance function continues to grow.
