The purpose of the job
Financial Analyst - You will influence and shape profitability strategy for this UK retailer on a mission to be their customers’ favourite place to eat and drink. You will support Global strategy by focussing your efforts on delivering exceptional customer experience through continuous financial improvement.
Why take a job as a Financial Analyst?
Well if you want to join a supportive business that will help you develop then these guys are up there with the best! They have a great record of taking recent or newly qualified chartered accountants and developing their careers by constant rotation and promotion.
To reinforce this statement the new UK Finance Director was someone I placed from PwC as a newly qualified accountant and the hiring Manager in question is now the European MD!
So if the thought of working in a diverse, team orientated, rewarding, career enhancing environment is not for you then please look elsewhere.
