Job description

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.

Think this is you? Let’s make it happen.

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.

Responsibilities

• 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

Qualifications

• Strong on accounting 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

If you want a finance role where your brain, personality, and judgment are all required, this is your sign.
