Part Qualified Accountant / Finance Analyst


Are you looking for a role which provides genuine substance to support your accounting qualification whether it be CIMA or ACCA? 


Are you stuck in the traditional part qualified world where the scope of your day to day routine is limited and you're stuck in the tick box world to just get through?


Well, we do things differently here! We are passionate about progression and succession planning! 


We are keen for you to stretch your skills and ambition in a business that provides all the range of challenges you are looking to fulfil to make you a better, commercially focussed finance professional. You’ll never be short of challenges and opportunities across our group.


The role we are proposing is working within a commercially biassed Analysis role. You’ll be involved with some exciting, challenging and high profile projects. 


  • FTC contract for 12 months 
  • Full Time position
  • Hybrid working from home / one day office based at Lodge Farm Industrial Estate, Northampton  


How? 


You will be providing management accounting and analytical support to our general merchanting teams. This environment is a lot like the retail world but much more fun! 


The teams you will support are to help drive the best finance and commercial decisions to deliver operational results. This will include building investment appraisal business cases for capital spend.


You will create and develop KPI reports to provide insightful financial information alongside data analysis and interpretation which will drive business performance. You will support forecasting, monitoring and reporting the financial performance of the business to the leadership team, preparing and reporting all forecasts and budgets and completion of the monthly management accounts.


Along with the above you will also:-


  • Preparation of daily, weekly & fortnightly performance reporting. 

  • Support month end reporting processes

  • Develop reports using various tools including datastudio and excel

  • Liaise with Finance and all operational roles up to Regional Directors to collate inputs and challenge assumptions. 

  • Ad Hoc analysis and investigation work as required

  • Eager to learn how to extract and use data from the Google Suite of Data Reporting

  • Use of DataStudios, Looker and Big Query


Is this you?


In order to succeed in this position,  you’ll need to be confident in building relationships across the business. We’re looking for someone to really take the initiative, as well as being ambitious and keen to progress. It is important that you have great attention to detail, can work as a part of a team and also on your own.


Along with the above, you will need to be part qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA OR CIMA) or with a relevant degree and intention to study. 


If you are ambitious, hardworking and looking for a challenging role with real exposure then we would love to hear from you! 


What’s in it for you?


Joining the Travis Perkins group means joining a reputable and expanding business offering great company benefits such as discounts across our businesses and the support of an employer who values your development as much as you do.  

 

  • We’ll also equip you with a benefits package that grows as you grow with the company:

  • Save-as-you-earn scheme

  • Buy-as-you-earn scheme

  • Contributory pension scheme

  • Colleague discount across a variety of Group businesses
