About the role

The Role

If you're ambitious, analytical, and excited by the idea of building a long-term career in finance, this is your opportunity to start strong. We're looking for motivated graduates to join our Finance Graduate Development Programme - designed to fast track your learning, broaden your commercial understanding, and give you the foundations for a successful finance career within a dynamic, growing business.

You don't specifically need a Finance degree to apply. What matters most is your interest in developing a career in finance, your willingness to learn, and your drive to progress. As part of our commitment to your development, we'll support and fund relevant professional qualifications (e.g., CA, & CIMA) to help you build a strong professional pathway.

Based in Glasgow, you'll gain hands on experience across key finance and commercial areas, working with experienced mentors and contributing to real business decision-making from day one. By the end of the programme, you won't just understand the finance function, you'll have the skills, confidence, and experience to make a genuine impact.

About You

What You'll Be Doing

• Rotating across core finance and commercial functions, gaining experience in areas such as management accounts, financial analysis & business support, internal audit, credit control, accounts payable, company tax, external audits and preparation of statutory accounts.
• Supporting month end processes, financial reporting, budgeting, and performance analysis
• Working closely with operational teams to understand how financial decisions drive business performance
• Developing strong analytical, problem solving, and communication skills
• Using data to support commercial decisions and improve financial processes
• Getting involved in real projects that contribute directly to the success of the business

What You'll Bring

We're looking for graduates who are passionate about starting a career in finance and eager to develop, including:
• A degree in any discipline
• A genuine interest in finance, analysis, and understanding how businesses perform
• Strong communication skills - confident, clear, and able to build good relationships
• A proactive mindset with the ability to think critically and solve problems
• Strong attention to detail and a willingness to learn new systems and processes
• A team-focused attitude and the drive to thrive in a fast paced environment
