Job description

Finance Analyst Nuneaton | Full-time | Permanent | Hybrid

You'll be based from our Nuneaton office, with a minimum of 2 days a week in the office and occasional travel to other Holland & Barrett locations.

Intro

You know how to do the reporting. You understand month-end. You're comfortable in Excel. Now you want a role where you can get closer to the business.

As a Finance Analyst in our Analyst team team, you'll work with Finance Business Partners and commercial teams to understand what's really driving performance - not just report what happened.

Your initial focus is likely to include Supplier Funding, Supplier P&L and Range Reviews, so you'll get exposure to some genuinely commercial conversations from the start.

And because this sits within our wider Finance Analyst team, there's room for that exposure to broaden as you develop.

What you'll be doing

• Analyse performance against budget, forecast and prior year and get underneath the reasons why.
• Turn financial and trading data into useful insight for the people making decisions.
• Support weekly and monthly reporting and the month-end close.
• Get involved in budgeting, forecasting and scenario modelling.
• Produce analysis for commercial decisions, investment cases and wider business activity.
• Work closely with Finance Business Partners and non-Finance teams.
• Spot opportunities to make reporting and processes simpler and more effective.

What you'll bring

You’ll have experience in a Finance Analyst, Management Accountant or similar role, with a good grounding in accounting and month-end.

You’ll be confident using Excel, including Pivot Tables, SUMIFS and lookups. But the bit we’re really interested in is what you do after you’ve built the spreadsheet. Can you see what matters? Ask the right questions? Explain the story behind the numbers to someone outside Finance? If so, you’ll probably enjoy this role.

Retail or Commercial Finance experience would be useful, as would Power BI, SQL or working towards CIMA, ACCA or ACA. They’re advantages rather than a checklist.

• Life assurance (2x salary, after 6 months' service)

• £50 Colleague product allowance on Holland & Barrett products (after 6 months' service)

• Access to cashback and discounts from a wide range of retailers
• 25% colleague discount, available in store and online
