• Perform reconciliations across project and financial data sources.

Business Partnering

• Act as a day‑to‑day contact for Project Managers and Analysts.
• Support project meetings by preparing financial updates, tracking actions, and following up on outstanding items.
• Provide clear explanations of variances, risks, and opportunities.
• Liaise with Procurement to ensure schedules are accurate, data is up to date, and processes are followed.

Data, Systems & Tools

• Work with large data sets without losing sight of detail or accuracy.
• Maintain and improve Excel and Google Sheets based reporting tools.
• Support the adoption and reconciliation of new Power BI dashboards in the new year.
• Ensure data quality and integrity across multiple systems.

Projects & Ad‑hoc Support

• Provide flexible support across Finance, Projects, and Procurement depending on business needs.
• Assist with process improvements and help streamline reporting timelines.
• Contribute to take‑home tasks and internal exercises as required during onboarding.

What We're Looking For

• Part‑qualified (ACCA / CIMA) or strong commercial finance background.
• Strong commercial mindset with a desire to grow in a broad finance role.
• Excellent Excel and Google Sheets skills.
• Comfortable working data sets.
• Good understanding of financial modelling principles.
• Experience with Power BI
• High attention to detail and strong analytical skills.
• Confident communicator able to partner with non‑finance teams.
• Organised, proactive, and able to manage shifting priorities.
