Business Analyst for FTSE Media Business

Due to a recent merger, my client, a FTSE 100 Publishing house is seeking a project accountant to join their expanding senior team. This is a highly varied and exciting opportunity to join the finance team as a business analyst.

The successful incumbent will be responsible for reviewing system-generated reporting and recommending changes, to reduce offline reporting and ensure that the business is properly supported. Responsible for reflecting new management priorities, reviewing the special sales reporting process and identifying ways to automate and simplify reporting. Setting up overhead assessments to automatically allocate central costs to profit centres and work with the editorial teams to reduce the number of sales templates and ensuring that the remaining templates have accurate assumptions supporting them. The role has no direct reports, but it is essential that the successful candidate build strong working relationships with finance and non-finance staff at all levels, to smooth the transition and implement the required changes. You will be fundamental in leading focus groups.

The successful candidate will have strong analytical experience coupled with experience of producing financial models and managing cash flow within the business. You must have a proven track record of being a proactive, professional person who enjoys adding value and managing change.

If you are a professional, reliable individual with an excellent personality and have the relevant skill set for this role please forward your CV immediately. This is a contract position and therefore only candidates on a weeks notice will be considered.
