We are in a period of significant strategic change, and the demands on Finance are growing. We are looking for a Senior Finance Analyst who can bring clarity, challenge, and fresh thinking to the numbers — not just reporting them but telling the story behind them. This role is focused on the Engagement, Cloud and Engineering departments. You won’t be preparing management accounts; you’ll be digging into performance, highlighting risks and opportunities, and giving senior leaders the insight they need to make better decisions. You will also take responsibility for commission calculations and run ad-hoc analysis across our 37,000-strong client base, spotting trends others might miss. This role has been created to support us through a phase of change, with real potential to become permanent for the right individual.

What You'll Be Doing

• Turning financial data into clear narratives for senior management
• Supporting monthly finance reviews with sharp, insight-led analysis
• Owning commission calculations, ensuring accuracy and transparency
• Running deep-dive analysis to uncover risks and opportunities across the client base
• Partnering with department heads to understand what’s really driving performance

What We're Looking For

• A finance analyst with proven experience delivering insight, not just numbers
• Excellent Excel skills and the ability to build and adapt financial models
• Experience with Power BI (or other BI tools) would be a big plus
• Actively studying towards a professional accountancy qualification (CIMA, ACCA, ACA)
• Strong communication skills – able to explain the "so what" as clearly as the "what"
• A proactive, curious mindset and the confidence to challenge assumptions

What You Will Get In Return

• Free PureGym membership after 3 months served
• Cycle to work scheme
• 23 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with length of service
• Additional half day off for birthday
• Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave
• Two volunteer days per year for a charity of your choice
• Smart pension scheme
• Life insurance and critical illness cover
• All expenses paid company events in sought after venues
• Free fruit & breakfast
• Company sports teams
• On-site barber and beautician
• Car valet service
• Career development directly linked to your performance
• Fundraising initiatives for our registered charity the PHMG Foundation
• Dedicated Employee Assistance Programme
