Finance Systems Analyst | Manchester / Hybrid Working | Salary to £45k | 12 Month Contract
Power BI • VBA • SQL • Essential
If you enjoy working at the intersection of finance, data and systems, this is a genuinely meaty role. We’re recruiting on behalf of a business undergoing a large-scale transformation of its finance systems. They need a hands-on Finance Systems Analyst/Business Analyst who can dive into the details — rebuilding models, shaping reports, and making the data work. This is not a fluffy BA role. It’s about doing, not just documenting.
Why This Role?
- High-profile finance transformation project
- Heavy exposure to Power BI reporting and system-driven insights
- Real ownership of data, models and outputs
- Work closely with a senior Finance Systems Project Manager
- Broad visibility across finance, operations and treasury
What You’ll Be Doing
- Rebuilding and improving finance models, templates and working files
- Handling large datasets for migration, reconciliation and testing
- Developing and supporting Power BI dashboards and reporting structures
- Using SQL to extract and manipulate data from finance systems
- Applying VBA to automate and enhance Excel-based tools
- Supporting system testing, process redesign and go-live activity
- Acting as a key link between finance teams and the project function
What You Must Have
This role will only suit candidates with strong technical capability:
- Advanced Excel (complex models, pivots, transformations)
- Power BI – hands-on dashboard development
- SQL – confident extracting and working with data
- VBA – automation and tool enhancement
- Experience supporting either finance systems, system changes/upgrades or transformation projects
- Strong data handling, reconciliation and problem-solving skills
Who This Suits
- Someone who enjoys hands-on data and systems work
- Detail-driven, analytical and naturally curious
- Comfortable working at a pace in a change environment
- Happy being the “go-to” person for data and reporting during a project
