Position Description

At CGI, you will play a pivotal role in strengthening financial integrity and enabling confident decision-making across our business. As Senior Financial Analyst in Financial Business Services, you will help shape accurate statutory reporting, ensure regulatory compliance, and support high-quality audit outcomes that underpin our continued growth.

We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee. We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent and inspiring everyone to pursue careers in our sector, including our Armed Forces, and are proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. Join us and you'll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We'll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.

This is a hybrid position though you will need to be able to commute to Bridgend.

Your future duties and responsibilities

In this role, you will take responsibility for statutory accounting and reporting activities, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and high professional standards. You will work closely with internal finance, tax, and external audit partners, applying sound technical judgement and contributing to smooth month-end and year-end close processes. You will also support process improvements, share knowledge, and step in as a delegate for the FBS Manager when required, helping to build a resilient and collaborative finance team.

You will be supported by experienced colleagues, encouraged to take ownership of outcomes, and trusted to bring ideas that enhance controls, efficiency, and reporting quality.

Key responsibilities include

• Prepare & review statutory financial statements in line with IFRS and local GAAP
• Review & validate balance sheet reconciliations and supporting documentation
• Support & coordinate audit activities, responding to auditor queries
• Advise & guide on appropriate accounting treatment and reporting matters
• Ensure & monitor compliance with SOX controls, tax, and statutory filings
• Collaborate & improve finance processes, controls, and documentation
• Coach & support team members through knowledge sharing and guidance

Required qualifications to be successful in this role

You will be a qualified accountant with solid post-qualification experience in statutory accounting and reporting, comfortable working in a regulated, international environment.

• Strong working knowledge of IFRS and local GAAP
• Experience preparing statutory financial statements and supporting audits
