Stratlab – Where Talent Meets Its People. We connect brilliant minds with companies that actually get them. Serious about growth, light on the drama.

We’re currently looking for a Commercial Finance Analyst – a role for someone who thrives in management accounting, commercial insight, business partnering, and wants to make a real difference.

At Stratlab, we focus on culture fit, long-term impact, and building relationships that last – because great work happens when people belong.

POSITION INFO

We’re recruiting Commercial Finance Analysts with solid accounting experience who want their work to influence decisions, not gather dust in a shared drive called “FINAL_v7”.

This is finance with a pulse. You’ll sit close to the business, close to the numbers that matter, and close enough to leadership that your insights actually change outcomes.

You’ll be trusted with

• Management accounts people actually read
• Margins, costing, and profitability that drive decisions
• Budgets and forecasts that get challenged (in a good way)
• Partnering with operations, not just reporting on them

You’re probably

• Strong on fundamentals
• Commercially curious and not afraid to ask “why”
• Comfortable explaining finance to non-finance humans
• Slightly bored where you are and ready for more
