Finance Business Analyst - Milton Keynes 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

Operating within a high security, fast paced public sector setting, the role requires delivering expert 2nd/3rd line technical support while also contributing to long term service transformation, infrastructure modernisation, and operational automation initiatives. You will work at the centre of enterprise identity and access management, ensuring stability, security, and performance across critical directory services including AD DS, Group Policy, ADFS, AD Connect, PKI, and a broad range of supporting technologies. This includes managing domain controllers, maintaining DNS/DHCP integrity, overseeing Group Policy design and deployment (including AGPM), and supporting authentication and federation services across tightly controlled environments. The role is highly technical and demands rigorous troubleshooting skills, deep protocol level understanding, and the ability to diagnose complex issues across interconnected systems and multi layered identity architectures. In addition to BAU service delivery, the Active Directory Specialist contributes significantly to project work, including design and installation of new systems, obsolescence remediation, configuration enhancements, and security driven platform improvements. You will collaborate closely with architects, service leads, and project managers to define, document, and implement scalable solutions using industry best practices, Microsoft security models, and modern automation approaches. The role supports both Agile and ITIL Continuous Service Improvement principles, ensuring that new workflows, processes, and service models are structured, resilient, and aligned to evolving business and security requirements. A major element of the role is maintaining a strong customer focused mindset. You will be expected to work directly with customer representatives, internal DXC teams, and senior IT leadership to communicate technical challenges, propose solutions, and build trust driven relationships. This demands excellent communication skills, documentation capabilities, and the confidence to work independently without direct supervision. You will use enterprise knowledge tools, share expertise within the engineering community, and contribute to a culture of continuous learning and improvement. The position requires adaptability, initiative, and a willingness to innovate-identifying opportunities to automate, optimise, and modernise identity services to ensure long term platform stability and compliance. The Active Directory Specialist must also be committed to maintaining the highest security standards, particularly within environments requiring DV level clearance, where meticulous attention to detail and adherence to strict operational controls are fundamental.
