  • Partner with front-line business teams to review costs against budgets and forecasts, providing meaningful challenge and insight.

  • Monitor and report on business case performance, reviewing planned versus actual expenditure on an ongoing basis.

  • Act as the primary point of contact for external auditors, responding to queries and escalating matters where appropriate.

  • Maintain and enhance key financial controls, ensuring robust governance and compliance.

  • Business partner with Corporate Core leadership teams, providing analysis and insight on monthly financial results.

About You

You will be:

  • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified.

  • An experienced management accountant with strong commercial awareness.

  • Ideally experienced within a financial services environment.

  • A confident communicator with excellent stakeholder management skills.

  • Highly organised, methodical and able to manage multiple priorities while meeting tight deadlines.

  • Proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Word and Outlook.

  • The opportunity to join a respected global financial services organisation.

  • Exposure to senior leadership and commercial decision-making.

  • A highly visible role where you can make a genuine impact.

  • A collaborative and supportive working environment.
