Job Description: Finance Analyst - Business Systems
Do you love solving problems, making systems work smarter, and turning numbers into insights that make a difference?
You’ll play a key role in strengthening how we manage our finances, helping to shape and improve the systems that keep Hampshire Cultural Trust running smoothly. You’ll be the go to person for financial systems and processes, making sure they’re efficient, reliable, and ready to support our growth.
You’ll collaborate with colleagues across our venues and services, helping them understand and follow sound financial practices. From optimising cash management and reconciliations to developing process improvements and leading system developments, your work will make a direct impact on how we deliver our cultural mission across the county.
You’ll also manage day to day financial controls, including cash processing, sales ledger reconciliations, and rates management, while working closely with the Finance Analyst – Business Reporting to ensure accurate income reporting.
A bit about you
You’re a numbers person with a practical mindset, someone who enjoys making systems work better and who can explain finance clearly to non-finance colleagues.
You’ll bring experience in accounting, finance, and system management, ideally with EPOS or ticketing systems, and be part-qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent). You’ll have strong Excel skills, great attention to detail, and a passion for continuous improvement.
You’re also a collaborator, someone who builds great relationships, keeps things running smoothly, and sees projects through from start to finish. When challenges arise, you stay calm, organised, and focused on solutions.
