FP&A Analyst

Financial Analyst – FP&A | Leicester | £50,000 + Bonus + Benefits

If you're the person in the finance team who everyone goes to when something needs building properly — this one is for you.

We're working on a confidential Financial Analyst search for a well-known business based in Leicester with genuine scale and a finance function that's investing in the way it uses data. This is a role for someone who gets genuinely excited about turning data into insight — someone who lives in Excel and Power BI, who spots an inefficient process and immediately wants to fix it, and who understands that great analysis isn't just about the numbers, it's about the story they tell.

You'll be building and maintaining complex financial models, developing dashboards and reporting packs for senior leadership, and driving the kind of automation and process improvement that reduces manual effort and sharpens the quality of insight across the finance function. You'll also be the go-to person for the wider team when it comes to Excel and Power BI — upskilling colleagues and raising the bar on how finance uses data.

The AI piece is genuinely interesting here too. This is a business that wants to embrace it, and they're looking for someone with the curiosity and capability to help lead that.

It's a role with real visibility. You'll be supporting senior leadership with analysis and reporting that feeds directly into strategic decisions — so the work you do will be seen and it will matter.

What's on offer:

- £50,000
- Bonus up to 25%
- 30 days holiday including bank holidays, increasing with length of service
- Hybrid — three days in the office with full flexibility on which days
- Core hours designed to suit your lifestyle

You'll have strong Excel and Power BI skills, experience building financial models and working with large datasets, and a genuine interest in automation and continuous improvement. A background in FP&A or a finance-related degree would be a bonus, but it's the capability and the mindset that matter most.

This is a confidential search — get in touch directly or apply via the link to find out more.
