With respectful as one of our values, we are committed to creating an inclusive culture that respects, values and celebrates cultural and individual differences. We have several offices in Central and Southern England and have ambitious plans to expand our business. To support the organisation’s growth, we have created a new opportunity for a Senior Financial Analyst to join our Oxford Finance team.

We are creating a new Senior Financial Analyst role that will sit at the heart of our FP&A capability and play an integral part in developing and maturing our core planning, forecasting and analysis processes as the group continues to expand. This is a hands-on, build-oriented position rather than a purely reporting one. A central part of the remit will be the implementation and ongoing management of new systems, including a cash flow forecasting tool and budgeting and forecasting platform, embedding both into the rhythm of the finance function and making them genuinely useful to decision-makers across the group.

  • Develop, document and mature core FP&A processes, including the annual budget cycle and periodic reforecasts.
  • Produce insightful monthly management reporting and variance analysis, translating financial data into clear commentary for partner and leadership audiences.
  • Support ad hoc value creation projects across the Group, partnering with the business to build the analysis that underpins growth and efficiency initiatives.
  • Drive the continued development of our internal operational and financial performance dashboards, acting as the bridge between the business and our external developers so that user feedback becomes tangible improvement.
  • Continuously identify and drive improvements in FP&A systems, data flows and ways of working as the Group scales.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
