Business Analyst – Finance Transformation

Hybrid – 3 Days in London

Up to £500/day

Overview:

Join a leading financial services organisation undergoing a large-scale Finance Transformation programme aimed at modernising finance operations, enhancing control, and improving business insight.

This is a strategic role focused on finance operations, accounting processes, and management reporting, not just system implementation. We’re seeking a Business Analyst with a solid finance background, ideally a qualified accountant, who can work closely with stakeholders to deliver meaningful change in how finance data is captured, structured, and reported.

Key Focus Areas:

• Finance Operations Transformation – Redesigning and improving core accounting processes to better capture debits, credits, and end-to-end finance workflows.
• PNL & Management Reporting – Supporting the creation of a fit-for-purpose P&L and management reporting suite to improve business visibility and performance tracking.
• Finance Data – Driving consistency and integrity in finance data to enable strategic decision-making.
• Business Metrics – Collaborating with finance teams to define and report on key business metrics for greater operational insight and control.
• ERP Integration (D365) – Supporting the configuration and use of D365 Finance & Operations to enable accurate accounting and reporting processes. Systems knowledge is important but secondary to finance process expertise.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience delivering finance transformation initiatives in complex environments.
• Strong knowledge of finance operations, accounting principles, and reporting best practices.
• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or equivalent finance background.
• Experience working with ERP systems (ideally Microsoft Dynamics 365), with a focus on how they support finance teams.
• Skilled in stakeholder engagement, requirements gathering, and bridging the gap between finance and technology teams.
• Duration: 6 months
• Location: Hybrid – 3 days per week in London
