Senior Financial Analyst

We are seeking an energetic self-starter to join our finance team in a newly created part-time position. Reporting to the Financial Controller and working collaboratively with the Directors and project teams, this role is focused on driving performance and applying strong accounting discipline across our commercial ventures and projects. Initially, this will be a six-month fixed contract. Our activities span games and book publishing, distribution, product manufacture, and related consumer products. You will operate across three group entities — including a UK-based manufacturing company and a European commercial entity — in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your contribution will be visible and valued from day one. We are looking for a well-rounded individual who combines analytical rigour with strong interpersonal skills — a self-starter who communicates with clarity and confidence and brings energy and initiative to everything they do. You will thrive in a collaborative, largely virtual environment (with occasional office attendance in Fulham, London), and be equally comfortable working independently. Highly analytical, resilient under pressure, and an effective team player.
