Finance Analyst/Associate - Financial Services

Buckden Partners is currently partnering with a fast-growing specialist property lender to appoint a Finance Analyst/Associate into its Birmingham-based finance team. Since launching, the business has deployed over £1.5bn of property finance across the UK and is continuing to grow at pace. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high-performing lender where you'll work closely with the Finance Director and gain exposure to the full lending lifecycle. This is far more than a traditional finance role. You'll sit at the heart of the business, supporting loan administration, financial reporting, audit, portfolio monitoring and borrower management while working alongside Credit, Origination and Senior Leadership. Key responsibilities include: Processing payment runs, invoices and maintaining financial controls. Maintaining loan security and charges registers. Supporting audits and preparing financial schedules. Producing accurate reporting and helping improve finance processes as the business continues to scale. We're looking for someone with: ACA or ACCA (part-qualified or qualified). Around 3-5+ years' finance experience. Strong Excel skills and excellent attention to detail. Experience within financial services, property finance, real estate, lending or a similar environment. A proactive, commercially minded approach and the confidence to work with senior stakeholders and borrowers. This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly entrepreneurial lender where you'll gain broad exposure, take ownership from day one and play a key role in supporting a rapidly expanding finance function.
