Entry Level Finance Analyst

Step into this Entry Level Finance Analyst role and build something that matters in Financial Services.

A fast-growing financial services startup based in Southampton is rebuilding how smaller firms access clean financial data and reporting. Margins are tight in this sector, decisions get made on numbers, and someone needs to make sure those numbers are right. That's where this Entry Level Finance Analyst comes in.

The team is small. Everyone's work is visible, which cuts both ways: more responsibility, faster learning, no hiding behind process. This Entry Level Finance Analyst role sits close to the founders and the finance lead, not three layers removed from the decisions that matter.

Here's what you'll be doing

Reconcile daily transactions and flag discrepancies before they become problems

Build and maintain spreadsheet models that track cash flow and revenue forecasts

Support month-end close by preparing journal entries and supporting schedules

Pull together reporting packs for leadership, turning raw numbers into something readable

Assist with budget tracking across departments and chase down variances

Help refine internal finance processes as the company scales

Here are the skills you'll need

A degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

Strong Excel skills. Formulas, pivot tables, basic modelling

Comfortable with numbers and genuinely curious about what they mean

Good written communication. You'll be explaining figures to non-finance people often

Organised enough to manage deadlines without someone chasing you

Willing to pick things up fast and ask questions when something doesn't add up

Key perks and benefits

£23,500 to £31,500 depending on experience

Equity in a growing company, not just a payslip

Flexible working hours around a core office day in Southampton

Learning and development budget for courses, qualifications, or exams like AAT or ACCA

Office-based role with a genuinely flat structure. Your ideas get heard
