What we see in Bristol.

Bristol has a varied finance market, from growing businesses and technology firms to established employers in professional services, healthcare and renewables. We see demand for people who can handle the detail while giving managers useful insight, particularly across management accounting, FP&A and finance business partnering. Hybrid working and a clear route to progress matter to many candidates.

Recent roles include a Senior Finance Analyst role for an electric vehicle business, a six-month Management Accountant contract for a pensions organisation, and Accounts Assistant recruitment for a renewables company.
