About the role.

This is an entry-level role for someone at the start of their career who is genuinely excited about both finance and data. You’ll be joining a small, experienced Finance Analytics team and getting hands-on exposure to financial reporting, data processes, and analytics from day one.

A large part of this role will involve supporting the team with day-to-day tasks and manual processes while we build out automation. That means you’ll see exactly how things work under the hood - and play an active part in improving them. We’ll invest in your development and give you the tools, mentorship, and context to grow quickly.

Day to day responsibilities.

• Day-to-Day Support: Assist with recurring manual processes across financial reporting and data operations, ensuring accuracy and timeliness, and support month-end activities including data checks, reconciliations, and reporting outputs.

• Data & Reporting: Run SQL queries to extract, check, and prepare financial data for reporting and analysis, and help maintain dashboards and reporting tools, flagging anomalies and data quality issues as they arise.

• Finance Operations: Support reconciliation processes across revenue, cash, and other financial datasets, and assist with the documentation of processes and data definitions to support the team’s control environment.

• Learning & Growth: Work closely with senior team members to understand end-to-end finance data flows, and contribute to automation and improvement initiatives as your skills and confidence develop.
  

What we’re looking for…

• Education: A degree or equivalent experience in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, or a related analytical discipline.

• SQL & Data Skills: Basic SQL skills, a strong willingness and demonstrable aptitude to learn quickly.

• Excel: Solid Excel skills - comfortable working with large datasets, formulas, and pivot tables.

• Finance Interest: A genuine interest in both financial reporting and data - you don’t have to choose one.

• Attention to Detail: High attention to detail and pride in the accuracy of your work.

• Communication: Good communication skills and a collaborative approach to working in a team.
  

Bonus skills.

• Some exposure to financial services, fintech, or a data-driven business environment.

• Familiarity with data visualisation tools such as Looker, Tableau, or Power BI.

• Experience with or awareness of ERP systems (e.g. NetSuite) or data warehouse platforms.

• Any coursework, projects, or self-study in data analytics or financial accounting

About you.

• You’re eager to learn. You ask questions, take notes, and want to understand the why behind everything.

• You’re reliable. The team will count on you for recurring tasks and you take that responsibility seriously.

• You’re comfortable with detail. You spot things others miss and you care about getting it right.

• You’re adaptable. In a fast-moving team, priorities shift - and you move with them without losing focus.

• You’re ambitious. This is a stepping stone, and you’re motivated to grow into more.
