Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their Financial Services career in Cambridge. Cambridge's financial services sector has quietly become one of the more interesting places in the UK to build a career, sitting alongside the city's tech and life sciences firms rather than in a traditional banking district. This particular business is a growing startup that needs sharper financial reporting and analysis as it scales. The Finance Analyst joining now will shape how numbers get tracked and used, not just maintain a system someone else built.
Here's what you'll be doing:
- Building and maintaining financial models to support budgeting, forecasting and monthly reporting
- Analysing revenue, cost and margin data to flag trends before they become problems
- Preparing management accounts and board‐ready reports on a tight monthly cycle
- Working directly with founders and department heads to explain what the numbers mean in practice
- Supporting cash flow forecasting and helping manage runway, which matters more at a startup than almost anywhere else
- Improving financial processes and systems as the company grows, often from scratch
Here are the skills you'll need:
- A degree in finance, accounting, economics or a related field, or equivalent experience
- Two to four years' experience in a finance or analyst role, ideally within Financial Services
- Strong Excel skills; comfort with financial modelling software or BI tools is a bonus
- Sharp attention to detail. A Finance Analyst who misses a decimal point costs more than one who works slowly
- Confidence communicating financial concepts to non‐finance people
- A part‐qualification (ACCA, CIMA or similar) is useful but not essential for this role
Key perks and benefits:
- Salary of £35,500 to £53,000, depending on experience
- Hybrid working, with time split between the Cambridge office and home
- Equity or stock options, so the work you put in has a real stake attached
- Flexible hours and a genuinely remote‐friendly culture
- A learning and development budget you're expected to actually use
Why pursue a career in Financial Services? Financial Services rewards people who can turn raw numbers into decisions, and that skill only gets more valuable as companies grow. Cambridge adds something extra here: a dense network of ambitious startups and scale‐ups that need finance professionals who can move fast and think independently. A Finance Analyst who cuts their teeth in this kind of environment tends to progress quicker than one sitting inside a large, slow‐moving institution.
