Job description

This is an opportunity to sit at the centre of a professional services firm and see how it truly runs. As Business Analyst within the Assurance Quality, Performance & Transformation Office (AQPTO), you will work directly with the CEO and management, turning firm-wide financial and operational data into the insight that shapes decisions on growth, profitability, digital transformation and cost efficiency.

Your analysis will inform board-level discussion, your dashboards will track the firm's strategic agenda, and your work will support firm-wide initiatives, including ongoing efforts to digitalise and automate administrative processes.

If you enjoy the discipline of numbers but want your work to reach further than the spreadsheet, this role gives you both the analytical depth and the strategic exposure to build on.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Financial Forecasting, Analysis & Operational Monitoring

• Compile and analyse firm-wide financial data, including revenue, collections, recovery performance and profitability.
• Prepare monthly management performance analysis reports and dashboards for the management.
• Own the budgeting and forecasting process, analysing P&L and cash flow variances on a monthly basis.
• Reconcile and validate datasets across systems to ensure reporting accuracy

2. Business Analysis & Strategic Support

• Provide business analysis for strategic initiatives including firm growth, digital transformation and cost optimisation.
• Conduct benchmarking and competitive analysis to support data-driven decision-making.
• Translate financial and operational data into clear strategic insights and executive summaries.

3. Strategic Project Monitoring, Execution & Process Improvement

• Assist management in tracking the progress of key strategic projects, including supporting our AI Champion Team to identify opportunities to digitalise and automate administrative tasks across departments.
• Develop tracking frameworks and dashboards to monitor KPIs and milestone achievement.
• Support inter-department coordination and follow-up on strategic action items.

4. Management-Level Support & Reporting

• Prepare concise, high-impact presentations, reports and briefings for board-level discussions.
• Manage sensitive information with integrity and confidentiality.
• Liaise with departments across the firm to ensure timely and accurate delivery of business data and updates.
• Provide ad-hoc support in response to the management’s priorities.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Analytics, Economics or equivalent.
• Minimum 2- 4 years of relevant experience in business analysis, financial planning, transformation or strategy. Experience in professional services or an audit firm is an added advantage.
• High proficiency in Microsoft Office and data analytics tools – Excel, Power Query, PowerPoint, Power BI, Word, etc.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving ability, with a solid understanding of audit firm operations and KPIs.
• A clear and confident communicator, experienced in preparing reports and presentations for senior leadership.
• The ability to interpret operational data to support strategic decision-making and to collaborate effectively across departments.
• Sound judgement in handling confidential information, with a high level of discretion and professionalism.

Preferred Experience:

• Strong background in financial analysis, forecasting and variance reporting.
• Proficiency in business intelligence and automation tools (e.g. Power BI, Power Automate, etc.) and financial modelling.
• Exposure to strategic planning, business transformation or change management projects.
• Prior experience in professional services – audit, tax or advisory.

Why Join Morison LC:

• Proximity to decision-making. You will work alongside the CEO and management, with visibility across departments- exposure that typically takes years to earn.
• Breadth beyond a single function. Financial planning, strategy, transformation and operations sit within one role, giving you an unusually broad platform for your next step.
• A firm investing in change. Our digitalisation and transformation agenda is active and led from the top – you will help shape it rather than watch it.
