Finance & Data Analyst

New Yesterday

We’re recruiting for a data-driven analyst role embedded within a finance team ideal for someone who enjoys working with complex datasets and wants to apply their skills in a commercial, business-facing environment.

This is not a traditional accounting role.

Instead, you’ll focus on data analysis, reporting, and insight generation, while gaining exposure to how financial data supports business decision-making.

What you’ll be doing

*

Analyse large datasets to uncover trends, insights, and performance drivers

*

Write SQL queries to extract, clean, and transform data

*

Build and enhance reports and dashboards using Excel and Power BI

*

Support monthly reporting, budgeting, and forecasting with data-driven insight

*

Identify opportunities to improve reporting, automate processes, and increase efficiency

*

Work closely with finance and wider teams to improve data visibility and understanding

*

Help ensure accuracy, consistency, and integrity of data across systems

What we’re looking for

This role is best suited to a Data Analyst who is comfortable working with financial or commercial data.

*

Strong Excel skills (handling large datasets, advanced formulas)

*

Working knowledge of SQL (joins, aggregations, data extraction)

*

Analytical mindset with the ability to turn data into clear insights

*

High attention to detail and accuracy

*

Interest in automation, reporting improvement, and data optimisation

*

Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities

*

Confident communicator who can explain data to non-technical stakeholders

Experience & background

*

Experience in a data, reporting, or analytical role

*

Exposure to commercial or financial data is beneficial

*

Power BI or similar tools, advantageous, not essential

*

ERP system experience, helpful but not required

*

Degree in Data, Finance, or similar, or equivalent practical experience

Working environment

*

You’ll be part of a collaborative and structured finance team, so we’re looking for someone who:

*

Takes pride in accuracy and detail

*

Is comfortable working to regular reporting deadlines

*

Enjoys working in a methodical, organised environment

*

Can balance technical analysis with business-facing communication

Why apply?

*

A genuinely data-focused role (not accounting-heavy)

*

Opportunity to shape how data is used within finance

*

Exposure to real business decision-making

*

Ideal for analysts looking to develop in a commercial environment

*

This is a brand new role, so an exciting opportunity to shape the role as your own in a growing, exciting business
