Finance Reporting Analyst (12 Month FTC) x2 Bolton (Hybrid - 2 days in office) £43,000 - £50,000 Bonus, 12% pension, 10x life assurance, private medical, 33 days holiday + buy/sell
What we think you'll love- Stepping into a large, global business with complex UK & international reporting - exposure most part/newly qualified candidates don't get for years
- Getting hands-on with Power BI, dashboarding, and reporting improvement - not just producing numbers, but improving how they're delivered
- Building highly sought-after skills in modelling, analysis, and MI that genuinely move your career forward
- A role that will add real weight to your CV in 12 months, not just fill a gap
The opportunityThis is a hybrid role sitting between
financial reporting, FP&A, and MI. You'll support BAU reporting - but more importantly, you'll be part of improving it. That means:
- Working with large, complex data sets across UK & international entities
- Supporting forecasting, budgeting, and group reporting
- Playing a key role in simplifying and improving reporting processes
- Developing Power BI dashboards and performance insights
- Contributing to financial modelling and strategic decision-making
This isn't about maintaining the status quo - it's about making reporting better.
The environment- Global financial services business with significant scale and complexity
- Strong finance function with real depth and exposure
- Hybrid working (2 days in office, increasing to 3 over time)
- A hiring manager who joined on a contract and is still there 5 years later
It's a 12-month FTC - but there's a clear track record of people staying longer-term.
What they're looking for You don't need to be the finished product. But you do need to show:
- You're in a reporting / analytical finance role today
- You're part-qualified (ACCA/CIMA) or working towards it
- Strong attention to detail - with the ability to analyse, interpret, and add insight
- Exposure (or strong interest) in Power BI, MI tools, or reporting improvement
- Confidence to challenge and contribute, not just produce numbers
- A proactive mindset - someone who looks to improve things, not just maintain them
Who this suits Someone who:
- Feels like they've outgrown repetitive reporting
- Wants exposure to data, systems, and better ways of working
- Is curious, analytical, and wants to add value beyond the numbers
- Is building towards a future in FP&A, commercial finance, or data-led roles
The bottom lineIf you stay where you are, you'll get better at reporting. If you move into this, you'll build skills in:
- Power BI & MI
- Process improvement
- Modelling & analysis
- Commercial insight
If you want a role where nothing changes, this isn't it. If you want one that actually develops you, it's worth applying.
