About this opportunity: At Lloyds Banking Group (LBG), we’re driven by a clear purpose - to help Britain prosper.

• Develop a strong understanding of how different systems feed into the Profit & Loss (P&L), asking questions to build insight and improve financial reporting.
• Track budgets, identify variances, and confidently explain movements in a clear, simple, and logical way to senior team members.
• Translate complex financial information into straightforward messages that can be easily understood by non‑finance stakeholders.
• Support stress testing activities, showing curiosity about how different scenarios impact the business and using results to understand key drivers.
• Build a solid understanding of accounting principles and apply them thoughtfully to ensure accurate and well‑reasoned financial reporting.
• Actively look for opportunities to improve processes and systems, using curiosity and initiative to support enhancements through Power Apps, AI, and automation.
• Work with a variety of data sources and processes, asking thoughtful questions to help answer business and performance‑related queries.
• Support senior colleagues with client and stakeholder interactions, communicating financial information clearly and following agreed processes and controls.
