Croydon UK, London, United Kingdom New Avenues Full time

Are you an experienced Finance Analyst looking for an exciting challenge within an interesting business? Keen on driving costs down, understanding discrepancies and being able to add value? Are you comfortable with analysing large sets of data and reporting findings and recommendations to the SMT in an easily digestible manner?


A privately owned Retail and Wholesale business has a project that requires an experienced Analyst to be the driving force. The project will focus on understanding the cost drivers of the business and help to implement efficiencies to minimise wastage and overspend. This will be through analysing and investigating discrepancies, reviewing contracts and embarking on an ongoing project to reduce any unnecessary wastage and ensure the best financials are in place for both the company and its operational needs.


Reporting to one of the Senior Executive Management team, this role will take both a big picture viewpoint as well as deep dives into all areas of the business, including down to store level. It will scrutinise all costs on the balance sheet, look into any anomalies and cost spikes, partner with the business to gain insight and understanding and work to define and implement improvements.


To be a suitable candidate you MUST have a solid background in financial analysis, with at least 4 years working within a similar role. You must be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of cost drivers alongside experience of improving cost inefficiency and implementing change to reduce this. If you’re a qualified accountant that would be beneficial but it is not essential, however, proven experience and an ability to demonstrate the required skillset is


You will be naturally inquisitive, have strong communication skills and confident interpersonal, allowing you to be able to influence others, gain credibility and the confidence of others to obtain the relevant information and drive change.


You will need to be great at reporting writing and be able to present your findings back in a clear and digestible format, meaning strong Excel & Powerpoint skills are essential.

If you analytical skills have been gained within retail/wholesale or consumer products that would be highly beneficial but not essential.


You will have great attention to detail, be able to work in a logical, practical and adaptable manner and be a self starter. You will have a proven background in partnering with the business, be able to influence others, add value and implement changes accordingly


This interesting role will continuously evolve…. It will initially be for a 3-6 month fixed term contract but has the potential for extension or a more permanent opportunity for the right individual
