Business Analyst

Business Analyst | Leeds (Hybrid) | £40,000 - £45,000

If Excel dashboards were a martial art, this role would be black belt level.

The business is growing fast. Three new sites are being added. A recent acquisition by an international group has kicked things into gear. Reporting isn't keeping up. Time to bring in someone who can build a suite that actually helps people make decisions.

This is a role for someone who lives in the data. Someone who can take the numbers, trends, and revenue streams and turn them into something that makes sense. Something that drives decisions. Something that actually helps.

This position sits in the finance team, but it's not just about finance. It's half financial analysis, half wider business reporting - and all about turning numbers into insight.

Sage is the current system. It does the basics. But there's appetite (and budget) to move into Power BI and build something smarter. Something that helps the CEO, CFO, and FC make better decisions, faster.

This isn't a stepping stone to becoming a qualified accountant. It's for someone who wants to own reporting, drive insight, and make a real impact.

What needs doing:

• Build dashboards and reports that show what's working, what's not, and where things are heading.
• Analyse financial and operational data to spot trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities.
• Define KPIs that matter - and make sure they're tracked properly.
• Support new systems (CRM, scheduling, finance) and ensure they integrate.
• Map out processes and improve them.
• Keep data clean, accurate, and compliant.
• Present insights to senior stakeholders in a way that drives action.

Must-haves:

• Experience within Business/Data/Finance Analyst roles or similar.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to turn complex data into clear insight.
• Experience building reporting suites or dashboards (Excel, Power BI, Sage, etc.).
• Confident communicator who can engage with senior stakeholders.
• Familiarity with CRM or case management systems.
• Understanding of financial reporting and operational performance metrics.
