Finance Analyst | Leicester | £50,000 + Bonus + Benefits If you’re the person people turn to when a dashboard needs rebuilding, a model needs improving or a manual process needs automating, this could be a really good fit. We’re working on a confidential search for a well known business in Leicester that wants to significantly improve how its finance team uses data, reporting and technology. This is not a traditional Financial Analyst role. They’re looking for somebody who combines good finance and commercial understanding with excellent Power BI, modelling and automation capability. You’ll work with large and sometimes complex datasets, building models and dashboards that give senior leadership clearer and more useful information. You’ll improve existing reporting, reduce manual processes and help the wider team make better use of the technology available to them. A big part of the role will be understanding what the business needs and then building something that works properly. That could mean developing a new Power BI dashboard, improving the structure of a financial model, automating a repetitive reporting process or finding a clearer way to present a complicated set of data. You’ll also need enough finance experience to understand what sits behind the numbers. That means being comfortable thinking about things like ROI, payback, cash flow, scenario analysis and the commercial assumptions behind an investment, rather than simply producing the output. You’ll become the go to person across the team for Power BI and advanced Excel, helping colleagues improve their own capability and raising the overall standard of reporting. AI is also a genuine part of the brief. You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you should be curious about where it can add value within finance and have ideas around how it could improve reporting, analysis and processes. They want somebody who will come in, understand what is already there and then start looking for better ways of doing things. What’s on offer £40,000 to £50,000 Bonus up to 25% 30 days holiday including bank holidays, increasing with service Hybrid working with three days in the office and flexibility around which days Flexible core working hours What they’re looking for You’ll need excellent Power BI and Excel skills, experience building financial models and dashboards, and a good grounding in finance. You could currently be working in FP
