About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Finance Business Analyst to join a leading organisation on a 6-month contract. This role focuses on supporting finance and accounting processes, driving business change, and delivering technology-enabled solutions that enhance operational effectiveness.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience working with finance teams, strong knowledge of financial operations and accounting procedures, and exposure to compliance frameworks such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). This is not a generic Financial Services BA role – we are looking for someone with practical corporate finance experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with stakeholders to define and deliver finance-related business solutions.
• Shape and document business requirements within agile or waterfall frameworks.
• Facilitate workshops to analyse processes, identify inefficiencies, and recommend improvements.
• Develop functional and non-functional requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Support project delivery, including business cases, work plans, and stakeholder communication.
• Promote innovation and align technology solutions with business capabilities.

Skills & Experience Required

• Proven experience as a Business Analyst within finance or accounting environments.
• Strong understanding of financial processes and systems; SOX compliance experience highly desirable.
• Ability to manage stakeholders, build consensus, and communicate effectively.
• Skilled in requirements gathering, process mapping, and change management.
• Familiarity with both agile and waterfall delivery methodologies.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
