Why this role?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established EPM team delivering high-impact solutions across financial planning, forecasting, reporting, and performance management. You'll work with major UK clients across sectors including professional services, energy, and higher education.

• Adaptive Planning certification(s) highly
• Broader EPM/ERP tool knowledge (e.g. Anaplan, Oracle, SAP, OneStream) is beneficial
• Finance qualifications (e.g. CIMA, ACCA, ACA) are an advantage but not essential
