Your new company
A leading global manufacturer is seeking a detail-oriented and commercially astute Commercial Finance Analyst to join their finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of budgeting processes in a high-performance, data-driven environment, supporting strategic planning and operational efficiency.
Your new role
You will be responsible for managing and controlling fixed cost budgets across the business. You'll lead the analysis of cost centre performance, approve purchase requisitions, and ensure compliance with budgetary controls. Your work will support accurate financial reporting and strategic decision-making.
You'll deliver monthly performance reports and KPIs, prepare accruals and provisions, and manage balance sheet reconciliations for G&A and marketing costs. You'll also lead the annual budgeting and forecasting cycles, applying zero-based budgeting techniques to drive cost efficiency and transparency.
A key part of the role involves stakeholder engagement, conducting monthly reviews with budget holders, challenging spending patterns and supporting cost control efforts.
What you'll need to succeed
You'll be a qualified finance professional (ACCA, CIMA, or ACA) with 3-5 years' experience in cost controlling or financial planning. You'll have strong forecasting and data analysis skills, with advanced proficiency in Excel, Power BI, SAP, and SAC. Experience with zero-based budgeting and internal controls is essential. You'll be confident in engaging stakeholders at all levels, with excellent communication skills and the ability to explain financial concepts to non-finance colleagues.
What you'll get in return
You'll receive a salary of £40,000-£50,000, along with the opportunity to work in a collaborative and forward-thinking finance team. The role offers exposure to cutting-edge financial systems and the chance to influence budgeting strategy within a globally recognised brand.
