Strategic Finance Analyst

Confidential Opportunity | PE-Backed International Group | Up to £65,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Join at the beginning of something significant.

We're partnering exclusively with a rapidly growing, private equity-backed international organisation to appoint a Strategic Finance Analyst into a newly established Group Finance function.

With over 7,000 employees across the UK and ambitious international growth plans, the business is entering its next phase of expansion. As part of this journey, they're building a high-performing Group Finance team that will play a central role in shaping commercial strategy, supporting investment decisions and driving long-term growth.

This is a rare opportunity to join a business at the point where the Group function is being built. Rather than stepping into a mature finance team, you'll help create the financial modelling and strategic planning capability that will support future acquisitions, international expansion and commercial decision-making.

Working closely with senior finance leadership, you'll have genuine influence from day one and the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across a fast-moving organisation.

The Opportunity

You'll work on projects that influence the direction of the business, including:

• Building sophisticated financial models to support strategic business decisions.
• Developing long-term forecasting and scenario planning models.
• Producing investment appraisals and commercial business cases.
• Supporting acquisition activity and post-acquisition integration.
• Evaluating commercial opportunities and modelling future growth scenarios.
• Partnering with senior stakeholders across the Group to provide commercial insight.
• Helping shape the financial planning capability of a newly established Group Finance function.
• Improving modelling methodologies, reporting and decision support tools.

About You

We're interested in candidates who enjoy solving complex commercial problems and using financial analysis to influence strategic decisions.

You'll likely come from one of the following backgrounds

• Big 4 Deals Advisory
• Transaction Services
• Corporate Finance
• Financial Modelling
• Strategic Finance
• Commercial Finance
• Group FP&A

You'll have experience in areas such as

• Financial modelling
• Scenario analysis
• Business cases
• Investment appraisal
• Commercial analysis
• Advanced Excel
• Presenting insights to senior stakeholders

Whether you're ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified (or nearing qualification), we're more interested in your commercial thinking and modelling capability than your exact background.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to move beyond advising businesses and become part of building one.

You'll join at a point where your ideas can genuinely shape the future finance function, working in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment backed by private equity and supported by ambitious growth plans.

If you're looking for a role where you can combine strategic thinking, financial modelling and commercial influence while helping build something from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.
