Job description

In the current climate, more than ever, our clients depend on models to make critical financial and business decisions. Our Financial Modelling practice works directly with clients, applying financial knowledge and technical expertise to deliver a range of services across all sectors:

  • We build bespoke financial and operational models to help our clients make informed decisions, improve business operations, and forecast effectively for the future. These models incorporate complex financial, statistical and mathematical calculations, are typically Excel-driven, and may use other technologies to manipulate data, support automation and to enhance reporting.
  • We develop high-impact visual reports and dashboards to help clients monitor KPIs and analyse trends from large volumes of data using a range of platforms.
  • We use our in-house tools for reviewing and validating clients’ models to provide confidence in their use, typically where they are being used to support a high-profile transaction or substantial refinancing.

Our 3-year graduate programme is designed to offer you client interaction, support from colleagues, and formal training to develop the financial, consulting and technology skills required across a broad range of tools such as; Excel, VBA, SQL, Python, Qlikview, Tableau, and Power BI. Feed your curiosity, work with the best on emerging practices and technologies, and gain an advantage for life.

People who thrive within our Financial Modelling practice are passionate about continually adapting their skills and knowledge to find solutions for our clients, have a love of working with numbers, and typically come from STEM, Economics or Finance undergraduate or post-graduate degree backgrounds. We also seek those with a keen interest in developing both financial acumen and technology skills throughout the programme.

Training and Development:

The training and development of our people is critical to the future success of our business. We want to empower you to grow in your own way, to feed your curiosity and embrace a growth mindset in an environment where learning is continuous. Therefore, we have created a rich curriculum and learning community to help you build your skills and fulfil your potential. This ranges from an immersive 5-day induction experience to help you transition to the world of work, formal training courses, leadership knowledge bites, learning journals, online courses and networking events – all aligned to our ‘learn for a lifetime’ strategy designed to help you gain an advantage for life.

In addition, in Financial modelling we currently offer either the CIMA qualification through an apprenticeship route, or CFA qualification – depending on the team you join. The CIMA qualification is available across all locations (including London) for our Infrastructure, Government & Healthcare (IGH) and Corporates (Corps) coverage areas; the CFA qualification is available for the London Financial Services (FS) programme.

Both programmes uses innovative technology and are delivered via a blend of Online Classroom Live and recorded courses in addition to in-centre classroom courses. It also has wrap-around support which consists of online portal content and live and recorded additional study sessions which means there is a form of support for your every need. This blended approach enables you to study and learn the content at a pace suited to your learning style but ensures all are at the right technical level prior to stepping into revision elements so you can focus on your exam technique before the exam. The structure of the CIMA programme is delivered via an apprenticeship route which really enables you to learn on the job and apply your knowledge to the workplace. It equally means that your learning and examinations are spread over the lifetime of the training contract so that you are able to build up your technical knowledge and can gradually apply what you are learning in training to your workplace experience.
