  • Deliver forward-looking and insight-driven reporting for the business, providing forward-looking commentary to help plan, prepare, and manage future performance
  • Performance Management and Commercial Oriented Solutions:

  • Provide interpretation of the monthly financial results and commentary to the Finance Leader/Business Area leadership
  • Monitor areas of financial performance against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), escalating issues where management action is required, with supporting analysis
  • Work closely with the wider business support teams to develop relationships and understand the strategic imperatives of the business
  • Financial Control and Compliance:

  • Assist Partners with relevant accounting advice throughout the entire engagement lifecycle, starting from the bid stage
  • Share local financial risk knowledge with the Financial Control Centre of Excellence and assist the central team with complex queries that require local business insight
  • Offer local intelligence to the Financial Control Centre of Excellence in line with agreed guidelines
  • Complex Engagement Support:

  • Undertake revenue recognition, forecasting, performance variance activities as required by engagements
  • Proactively highlight risks and opportunities to financial performance and develop actions to mitigate, correct or exploit as appropriate with senior decision makers
  • About You:

  • A relevant finance qualification such as CA, ACA, CIMA, or ACCA
  • Commercially minded with a deep business understanding
  • Able to demonstrate application of accounting standards, including IFRS 15
  • Strong analytical and problem solving skills with good attention to detail
  • Action orientated and a self-starter
  • Focused on continuous improvement in all areas of their work
  • A strong relationship builder who builds trust in their key stakeholders
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
