Senior Finance Analyst - Reporting

Function: Finance
Location: Edinburgh (Gyle) based – hybrid home & office working

Salary:  circa £50,000 - £60,000 base depending on experience, plus full benefits listed below.

Contract: 18 month FTC
Closing Date: 28th of January 2025. Please note, we may close vacancies early where we receive significant numbers of applications.

As the UK’s leading pub, cider, and beer business, we’re home to some of the world’s best-loved ciders and beers, and a leading player in the international drinks industry. But there’s so much more to HEINEKEN than meets the eye. Right now, we’re looking for a Senior Finance Analyst.

About the role
We have an excellent opportunity for a fully qualified accountant to join our Reporting and Accounting team in our head office in Edinburgh. The role offers a real step-change for us in the UK, helping add value by way of review, challenge, analysis and financial control while acting as a key point of contact for colleagues in our shared service centre in Krakow.

Working within Reporting and Accounting you will mainly be responsible for the UK statutory accounts process and associated external audit, month-end close activities, control compliance and liaison with multiple stakeholder groups. Review of legal entity management reporting, assessment of financial controls and other associated ad hoc tasks will also be required as part of the regular month-end activities. 

You'll be a key point person and coordination point for the accounting processes performed in the Heineken European shared service centre based in Krakow, and you'll also business partner with other internal teams such as Commercial Finance, Supply Chain Finance, Legal, Process Control and Improvement, Internal Audit and Digital and Technology.  Extensive collaboration with the external auditors will also be required. This is an exciting period of change across the finance function as it supports Heineken’s ongoing Global Digital Backbone project, and you'll be joining a hard-working team in a fast-paced environment that continually challenges the status quo.

As this role is office based, but  we currently operate a hybrid working framework that allows us to  benefit from both working in the office and at home. We work a minimum of 3 days in the office, a Tuesday and Thursday are for all, with the third day being selected by the colleague.

Who we’re looking for?
A Qualified Accountant with previous experience in both internal and external Financial Reporting, particularly statutory accounts production processes. Experience within FMCG or a large organisation would be preferable.

If you:

• have experience of IFRS or UK GAAP/FRS 101 accounting standards
• have experience of statutory financial statement production
• have strong Excel skills
• are an effective communicator
• enjoy working as part of a team
• can develop strong working relationships and collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders
• have excellent analytical skills with an enquiring mindset
• are motivated by continuous process and control improvement and efficiency.

Then this could be the role for you!

Our ways of working 
Our office sites operate a hybrid model. You’ll spend Tuesdays, Thursdays and one other day in the office and two days from home, although but you’re more than welcome to come and work from the office on those days too. 

We’re currently gearing up for an exciting move! In 2025, we’ll be relocating from our current location at Broadway Park (on the outskirts of Edinburgh) to a modern, flexible working space in the heart of the city centre. 
 
The move to our new home at 6 St Andrew Square is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2025, subject to detailed planning and relevant approvals. The site will have great transport links and will be just a five-minute walk from Waverley station. 
 
There'll be plenty of support for colleagues during the transition to the new location, so stay tuned, and once you're onboard you'll have access to a SharePoint site with further details.

The Good Stuff!
In addition to your base salary, you’ll also receive:

• Annual bonus
• Company funded Private Medical Healthcare
• Double-matched pension contributions (up to 10%)
• 35 days holiday (with the opportunity to buy/sell)
• A monthly case of our delicious ciders and beers!
• Exciting opportunities to develop your career.

You’ll also get the opportunity to get involved with one of our colleague networks where groups of colleagues from all over the business work together to ensure we’re always working towards being a diverse and inclusive company.
