Finance Analyst

Finance Analyst

Based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, our leading international client seeks a forward-thinking and driven Finance Analyst to join the team on a temporary basis.

The company has ambitious growth plans and exciting forecasts across the globe and there are possibilities for internal opportunities in the future, both in the UK and internationally.

The successful individual will be a CIMA/ ACCA Part Qualified or Finalist level Accountant with experience of developing processes and controls. Any experience working with sales, pricing or within an FP&A team would be highly beneficial, ideally within a multi-site or retail environment. This individual will have the ability to implement and support continuous improvement within Finance whilst showing strong commercial and analytical skills.

This role will be pivotal in establishing and maintaining a methodology towards customer rebates, aimed at achieving a sound transactional process, a strong control environment, increased revenue/margin and consistency in practices within and across divisions. The successful applicant will also be able to analyse complex data and present findings in a clear and communicative manner whilst acting as a lead and business partner on ad-hoc projects.

Duties and deliverables will include:

• Implement and maintain a monthly process to monitor and report the level of accruals by customer
• Communicate output to Sales in a proactive manner with the objective to highlight areas where Sales' involvement is required to close any potential gaps
• Establish a tight process to track rebate (i. actuals versus targets) and ensure that there are no undue disbursements
• Initiate and drive thorough quarterly rebate reviews involving sales to ensure that accruals are aligned with contractual terms and customer run rate
• Challenge sales to validate and verify rebate accruals balance by customer with the objective to achieve a strong control environment
• Communicate revenue impacts resulting from the quarterly rebate reviews to the relevant departments

This is an extremely interesting opportunity offering a talented individual the chance to make the job their own but will require a strong character to deal with and influence internal stakeholders.
