Manager & Senior Manager, Finance Transformation - CFO Advisory

About Baringa:
We set out to build the world’s most trusted consulting firm – creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people-first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start-ups, in every sector.

You’ll find us collaborating shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, from the big picture right down to the detail: helping them define their strategy, deliver complex change, spot the right commercial opportunities, manage risk, or bring their purpose and sustainability goals to life. Our clients love how we get to know what makes their organisations tick – slotting seamlessly into their teams and being proudly geeky about solving their challenges.

As a Certified B Corporation, we've proven that we've built social and environmental good into every bit of what we do.

We have hubs in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, and we work all around the world - from a wind farm in Wyoming to a boardroom in Berlin. Find us wherever there's a challenge to be tackled and an impact to be made.

Our CFO Advisory practice is looking for experienced Finance Transformation Managers and Senior Managers to join the team:
Our CFO Advisory capability blends technical accounting, consulting and industry experience to focus on our client’s most strategic Finance priorities. Independent by design, we act as an impartial, critical friend to CFOs. We help our clients address challenges, and respond to opportunities around business integration, business performance, and climate and sustainability across all industry groups.

What you will be doing:

• Finding business efficiencies and opportunities by reviewing operating models, technology and change strategies, including:
• Operating Model Transformation
• Technology, Data & ERP Strategy
• People, Talent & Change
• Enabling data-based decisions so that Finance can add value and drive enterprise performance right across the organisation, including:
• Business Insights
• Integrated Planning
• Forecasting & Scenario Modelling
• Helping embed sustainability into finance, respond to regulatory requirements, and anticipate and respond to consumer and investor sentiment, including:
• Investor Relations & Financing
• Carbon Budgeting
• Disclosures

At this time, we have a particular interest in candidates who are passionate about:

• Technology-driven Finance transformation
• EPM processes and tools
• End-to-end Finance process improvement and automation

Your skills and experience:

• You will be a passionate and curious finance professional with a background in consultancy - FS and non-FS clients are both of interest
• You will need to have excellent relationship building and communication skills, and experience of working well in teams
• You will need to have a strong understanding of finance transformation projects with project/programme experience across the full project lifecycle and the ability to take ownership, provide a point of view and deliver results in a challenging, client-facing environment
• You would benefit from having Tier 1 ERP experience, with knowledge of what good looks like

What a career at Baringa will give you:

Putting People First:
Baringa is a People First company and wellbeing is at the forefront of our culture. We recognise the importance of work-life balance and flexible working and provide our staff amazing benefits. Some of these benefits include:

• Generous Annual Leave Policy: We provide our employees with 5 weeks of annual leave, fully available at the start of each year. In addition, we have introduced our 5-Year Recharge benefit which allows all employees an additional 2 weeks of paid leave after 5 years of continuous service.
• Flexible Working: We know that the ‘ideal’ work-life balance will vary from person to person and change at different stages of our working lives. To accommodate this, we have implemented a hybrid working policy and introduced more flexibility around taking unpaid leave.
• Corporate Responsibility Days: All our employees get 3 every year to help social and environmental causes and increase our impact on the communities that mean the most to us.
• Wellbeing Fund: We’ve introduced our annual People Fund to support this by offering every individual a fund to support and manage their wellbeing through an activity of their choice.
• Career Progression: We have quarterly rather than annual promotion reviews. We don’t have any quotas: if you’re ready and delivering at the right level, you’ll get that promotion.
• Profit Share Scheme: All employees participate in the Baringa Group Profit Share Scheme so everyone has a stake in the company’s success.

Diversity and Inclusion:
We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We believe that creating an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging is central to our culture and that diversity is paramount to driving creativity, innovation, and value for our clients and for our people.

An award-winning workplace:
You can be a part of our ‘Great Place to Work’ – with our commitment to women and well-being in the workplace for all.

Using business as a force for good:
At Baringa we believe that everyone creates a lasting impact when you put people - customers, employees, investors, suppliers, and society – first. Our B Corp certification shows that we’ve met and held ourselves accountable to high standards of social and environmental performance and transparency.
