Job Description & Summary

At PwC, our people in finance consulting specialise in providing consulting services related to financial management and strategy. These individuals analyse client needs, develop financial solutions, and offer guidance and support to help clients optimise their financial performance, improve decision-making, and achieve their financial goals.

As a finance consulting generalist at PwC, you will possess a broad understanding of various aspects of finance consulting. Your work will involve providing comprehensive guidance and support to clients in optimising their financial performance, improving decision-making, and achieving their financial goals. You will be responsible for analysing client needs, developing financial solutions, and offering recommendations tailored to specific business requirements.

About the role

PwC’s Finance Managed Services (FMS) team is growing rapidly as clients increasingly seek innovative, tech-enabled and insight-driven support to transform their finance operations. Our team has been successful in winning and delivering multiple global Finance Managed Services, and we have an exciting ambition.

As a Manager in our FMS team, you will help shape the delivery of managed finance services for our clients.

We focus on reimagining our clients’ finance operating and delivery models.

Our FMS solutions are designed to be 'plug and play', offering clients scalable capabilities that can be deployed and adjusted over time, providing a flexible alternative to expanding in-house finance teams. We leverage leading cloud-based finance systems, such as Sage Intacct, and a range of other systems tailored to specific industries or business sizes.

We foster a dynamic culture, encouraging feedback, creativity, and inclusion. We value diversity of thought and experience, and we are looking for talented, driven and intellectually curious professionals who are entrepreneurial, collaborative, and motivated by challenge.

• Managing commercial performance of engagements, including contract profitability and growth
• Be actively involved in business development activities to identify and research opportunities on new / existing clients
• Working closely with colleagues across our Finance Transformation and ERP team closely aligning our FMS work with wider Finance Transformation projects
