A career without limits. As the nation’s flag carrier, we take great pride in connecting Britain with the world and the world with Britain. This originality has been in our blood since day one. It’s the spirit we share with the people that fly with us, our partners, and our colleagues.

The role: Financial Reporting Analyst. Join our Finance and Transformation team and play a key part in how British Airways reports its performance. This team sits right at the centre of the business — pulling together the numbers, shaping the annual report and making sure what we share externally is clear, accurate and robust.

What you’ll do:

  • Support BA’s group consolidation and help produce Financial Statements in line with IFRS and the Companies Act.
  • Contribute to IAG’s quarterly and annual reporting cycles, ensuring BA’s inputs are accurate and on time.
  • Take ownership of parts of the Annual Report & Accounts — pulling together inputs and making sure everything stacks up.
  • Prepare statutory accounts for BA subsidiaries and other required reporting (including surveys and disclosures).
  • Work closely with auditors, IAG Finance and internal teams to explain figures and respond to queries.
  • Maintain strong financial controls and keep processes up to date as requirements evolve.
  • Get involved in systems and process changes across SAP and reporting tools.
  • Support senior stakeholder briefings, including materials for the CFO and Board.

What you’ll bring to British Airways: A steady, thoughtful approach and a real interest in how financial reporting fits into the bigger picture. Collaboration matters too. The role works across Finance, with IAG and with auditors, so building good relationships and communicating clearly will make a big difference.

Your experience:

  • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or similar).
  • Experience in audit or financial reporting within a large or complex organisation.
  • Good working knowledge of IFRS and statutory reporting requirements.
  • Familiarity with Companies Act disclosures.
  • Experience with finance systems such as SAP (or similar reporting tools) is helpful.

From the day you join us, you’ll get access to brilliant staff travel benefits including unlimited basic and premium standby tickets on British Airways flights. You’ll also receive up to 30 discounted ‘Hotline’ airfares per year for yourself, friends, and family.
