Finance Business Analyst Department: Client Role Employment Type: Full Time Location: United Kingdom, UK Compensation: £75,000 - £85,000 / year Description A finance function being rebuilt needs someone who can find the signal in the noise. Our client, FlexiTog is part of an international group of five European businesses, with operations in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands. The group is headquartered in the US and recently went through acquisition. We're investing properly in finance, and the team is being rebuilt from the ground up. Five entities. Inconsistent charts of accounts. Legacy system quirks. A real opportunity to bring order, insight and structure to a group that's growing fast and integrating at the same time. You'll work directly with our Group Finance Director on analysis, reporting and business problem-solving across the group. This isn't a watch-and-report role. It's about turning messy, multi-entity data into the kind of insight that helps leadership make better decisions, faster. You'll report to Anna Murphy, our Group Finance Director, and work closely with finance teams across the UK, Germany and the Netherlands as well as our UK operational and commercial leaders. The role has high visibility and clear room to grow as the function matures. Most BA roles plug into an established reporting machine. This one helps build it. Post-acquisition, with group backing and a finance function being shaped from the ground up, you'll have unusually direct access to the GFD, real influence on what gets measured and how, and a clear path to grow with the role. If that sounds more interesting than another reporting cycle in a tidy ledger, we'd like to hear from you. Key Responsibilities Producing financial and commercial analysis to surface insight across the group Supporting group reporting and management information for leadership and the US parent Partnering with the Group Finance Director on transformation and integration initiatives Working alongside operational and commercial teams to interrogate the numbers behind the business Bringing structure to incomplete or inconsistent data and improving it as you go Skills, Knowledge and Expertise You're an experienced business analyst, ideally from a finance or finance-adjacent function. You're analytical, sharp with numbers, and equally comfortable building a model and explaining it to a non-finance audience. You don't need a perfect dataset to get going. You spot what's missing, fill the gaps where you can, and flag the rest. You're solution-driven, proactive, and you operate well when the path isn't paved. Not essential, but great if you have: Post-acquisition, integration or transformation experience Multi-entity, multi-currency or international group exposure Strong Excel and familiarity with financial reporting and BI tools
