Graduate Finance Analyst

About

This role sits within a well-established UK business that forms part of a large international group operating across multiple markets. The organisation is known for its strong financial controls, investment in systems and people, and a genuine commitment to developing early-career talent.

With an upcoming systems transformation project, the finance team offers an excellent environment for a graduate to gain hands-on experience and broad exposure across multiple areas of finance.

Your new role

This is an ideal role for a recent graduate in Accounting, Finance, or a related degree who is eager to kick-start their career within a supportive and structured finance team.

The role is learn-on-the-job, offering exposure to management accounting, FP&A, and some transactional finance, while more senior team members focus on an upcoming SAP project. Over time, you will have the opportunity to move around different areas of finance, building a strong foundation for long-term progression.

Full professional study support (ACCA/CIMA) is provided.

Day-to-day responsibilities will evolve as you develop, but initially will include:

• Supporting the preparation of management accounts
• Assisting with month-end processes, including journals and reconciliations
• Producing basic financial reports for internal stakeholders
• Supporting parts of transactional finance (AP/AR) to keep day-to-day operations running smoothly
• Maintaining accurate financial records and controls
• Assisting with data and reporting during the SAP implementation project
• Working with different members of the finance team to gain broad exposure
• Ad-hoc tasks and analysis to support the wider finance function

What you'll need to succeed

• A recent graduate in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or a related discipline
• Ambitious, curious, and keen to learn
• Interested in building a long-term career in finance
• Comfortable working with numbers and data
• Organised, reliable, and willing to get stuck in
• Looking to study towards a professional qualification alongside work

No prior finance experience is required, but any internships, placements, or part-time finance exposure would be beneficial.

What you'll get in return

• Salary £26,000 - £30,000 (dependent on experience)
• Full ACCA / CIMA study support
• Hybrid working (3 days office / 2 days home)
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Free on-site parking
• Exposure to management accounting, FP&A, systems, and transactional finance
• Clear development pathway within a structured finance team

This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate who wants more than just a transactional role, and instead is looking for hands-on exposure, learning, and progression within finance.
