The Role

• Ensure compliance with internal reporting cycles and planning timetables.
• Build strong, trust-based relationships with internal stakeholders across finance teams.
• Drive continuous improvement in reporting processes and analytical output.
• Respond confidently to ad hoc data and analysis requests in a fast-paced environment.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills with the ability to present financial information clearly and effectively.
• Hands-on experience with Hyperion Planning & Budgeting tools (ePBCS preferred).

• Confidence in communication and a structured, responsible approach to work.

Desirable

• A professional accounting qualification (or working towards one).
• Previous experience in the banking or financial services sector.
