Financial Analyst; part qualified​/studying

SRM Recruitment are delighted to be recruiting a Financial Analyst (studying/part qualified) for a medium‑sized, private‑equity (PE) backed technology platform that provides data insights and information services to its client base.

This is a newly created role so there will be an opportunity for the successful candidate to put their "stamp" on the role. Our client would like someone to focus on commercial revenue analysis across Annual Recurring Revenue and revenue recognition. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career finance professional to develop strong technical foundations while gaining broad exposure to commercial operations in a fast-growing, subscription-based business.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of monthly revenue analysis, including accurate recognition and reporting to the board.
• Manage ARR reporting and analysis, collaborating with commercial teams to provide clear insights into revenue growth.
• Maintain revenue data for board and investor reporting, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
• Support ad hoc financial analysis across the business as required.
• Work closely with commercial and operations teams as a business partner to enhance processes and drive efficiencies.

Your Experience & Attributes

• Part-qualified, or studying towards a professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA).
• Strong numerical and analytical skills, with high attention to detail.
• Basic understanding of revenue recognition principles; familiarity with subscription or SaaS models is advantageous but not essential.
• Proficiency in Excel and an interest in financial modelling and analysis.
• Experience with accounting or finance systems is beneficial.
• Proactive, adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast-growing, evolving environment.
• Strong communication skills with confidence to interact with finance and non-finance stakeholders.
