Data Finanace Analyst

Nottingham | Hybrid – 2/3 days office based | 3-month initial contract with potential to extend

We’re recruiting for a Temporary Finance Data Analyst to join a growing technology business based in Nottingham. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with financial data, spotting trends and discrepancies, and turning information into useful reporting for the wider business.

Working closely with the Financial Controller, Finance, Sales and other internal teams, you’ll take ownership of financial and sales ledger data, reporting and analysis. The role will have a particular focus on NetSuite, so previous experience with NetSuite or a similar Oracle-based ERP system would be a real advantage.

• Maintaining accurate finance, customer and sales ledger data within NetSuite.

• Extracting, manipulating and analysing financial data to support reporting and business decisions.

• Producing regular reports, dashboards and analysis covering areas such as aged debt, cash allocation, credit exposure and customer accounts.

• Analysing data to identify trends, risks, variances and areas requiring attention.

• Supporting month-end through reconciliations, analysis and accurate reporting.

• Investigating discrepancies, unallocated cash, missing invoices, pricing issues and customer account queries.

• Working closely with Finance, Sales, Logistics and other teams to resolve issues.

• Providing weekly and monthly updates to the Financial Controller.

• Supporting improvements to finance systems, reporting processes and controls.

• Assisting with credit control and customer account processes through accurate data and analysis.

• Supporting wider finance projects, system changes and ad hoc analysis.

You’ll ideally have at least two years’ experience working within finance or closely alongside a finance team, with some understanding of sales ledger processes.

Strong Excel skills are important, including formulas, pivot tables, charts and ideally some understanding of macros. Experience using NetSuite would be highly beneficial, although experience with another Oracle-based ERP system could also be relevant.

You’ll need to be confident working with large amounts of data, identifying trends and discrepancies and presenting your findings clearly. The role will also involve communicating with senior stakeholders, so someone confident, organised and comfortable asking questions would work well.

This is initially a 3-month temporary position, with the potential to continue beyond this. It would suit someone who enjoys combining transactional finance knowledge with data analysis and wants a role where they can make an impact on reporting, systems and processes.

The role is based in Nottingham with hybrid working, typically 2–3 days per week in the office.
