The role

This is an 12 month FTC role.

Ready to deliver accurate, well‑controlled balance sheet reconciliations across high‑volume financial processes?

As an Analyst, you’ll join a high‑impact finance team that protects balance sheet integrity ensuring accuracy and completeness. Sitting at the centre of financial control, the team connects fast‑moving transactional activity with financial reporting, ensuring the numbers are consistent, reliable and trusted. You’ll support daily and weekly balance sheet reconciliations across core processes such as sales to cash, payroll and debtors.

You’ll own the end‑to‑end delivery of balance sheet reconciliations, managing high‑volume transactions, resolving exceptions and keeping issues moving. You’ll strengthen controls while also driving smarter ways of working through greater efficiency, consistency and automation.

Working closely with colleagues across stores, finance and non‑finance teams, you’ll build strong relationships to understand reconciling differences and resolve queries effectively. You’ll investigate exceptions, analyse trends and clearly explain reconciling items so they are valid, appropriately aged and fully supported by evidence. When risks or ongoing issues arise, you’ll escalate them confidently with clear insight and context.

Alongside day‑to‑day activity, you’ll support month‑end tasks related to reconciliations and balance sheet integrity and maintain strong controls across your assigned accounts. You’ll contribute to a reliable, responsive service and play an active role in continuous improvement, embracing digital tools and automation to manage exceptions confidently and shape smarter ways of working.

We’re looking for someone with finance experience, strong analytical skills, and a proactive, can‑do mindset. You’re comfortable working at pace, stay focused on the detail, and maintain accuracy even when handling large volumes of data. You communicate clearly, build strong relationships with ease, and feel confident working with a wide range of stakeholders. You’ll also bring good Excel skills, with the confidence to work with data to support reconciliation activity on a day‑to‑day basis.

This role offers great exposure to core business processes and provides a strong foundation in financial control and reconciliation.

This role closes on 28th July 2026. Don't delay your application, – you'll be glad you did.
