  • Proactively contribute toward the development of the analytics community within FAAS; developing a personal network throughout the Assurance service line

  • Knowledge of statistical techniques and analysis (such as regression, clustering, sampling,)
  • Experience with business finance and broader (external and internal) audit function concepts (such as risk assessment and scoping, controls etc)
  • Willingness to travel to client sites in the UK and Europe when required
     

  To qualify for the role, you must have

  • At least a 2:1 degree in a STEM or finance-related subject
  • Minimum of 3 years’ experience of working in data and analytics
  • Experience with industry-standard data and analytics applications and tools such as PowerBI (highly desirable), Microsoft Power platform / PowerApps (highly desirable), Tableau, Alteryx (highly desirable), Spotfire, SQL, and Excel
  • Experience of data extraction, analysis, cleansing, quality and manipulation skills
  • An understanding of the major finance processes (e.g. procure to pay)
  • An understanding of risk and control environment (e.g. testing of control design and operational effectiveness, RACM etc) and how analytics can be applied in that context 
     

  Ideally, you’ll also have

  • The ability to tell a story through analytics
  • An interest in emerging technologies, such as blockchain, AI and RPA
  • Professional services background (consulting, risk and/or assurance)
     

  What we look for
