Finance analyst

Talent Tent is proud to be working with a great Cardiff-based tech startup to find a Finance Analyst

They are a market leading tech company that enables local car rental companies to become digital. They have franchisees and affiliates around the world and in 2025 the brand has expanded to over 45 countries and counting.

The business has received backing to take the business to the next level of growth, and adding a Finance Analyst to their team will be vital to the success of the business.

The Role

The business works with an international community of independent car rental partners - each of these use the platform to grow their own business and achieve success.

This role will focus on finance - whether it is the data that guides decision making or the day to day bookkeeping and invoicing, this role will make a significant impact on the company and support the CEO to drive the company to greater things.

What to expect from your role?

Firstly you will need to learn about about the business, their history, where they are going, and how everything works - this will help you spot where you can make the greatest impact with the data you produce.

These tasks are largely done by the CEO at this time, so you will work closely with him at first to learn the ropes. Then your role will be split into two major areas of responsibility;

75% of your time will be spent on data;

• Financial reporting and interpretation

• Producing requested data

• Being proactive with monitoring and highlighting issues and opportunities

• Presenting your findings

25% of your time will be spent on finance admin;

• Bookkeeping

• Credit control

• Invoicing and payments

• Carrying out anti-money laundering and KYC checks

The skills and experience you’ll need

Our dream candidate will be firstly extremely interested in working in a startup environment, so will be agile, quick to learn, and keen to grow with the company. You will have to be innovative, results focused, and have a growth mindset.

Whilst this isn’t a tech role, you must be confident in learning new technologies, systems and embrace the benefits of AI. You will be using Xero accounting software daily.

Previous experience in a similar data role would be great, as well as experience in bookkeeping.

You don’t have to be an accountant, but a good head for figures and how to present them is definitely needed.

We would also be keen to hear from graduates with linked degrees such as finance, accounting business, or data who think they could bring their skills to this role.

But don’t worry if that doesn’t sound 100% like you – we still want to hear from you, as we know people with great transferable skills and a good attitude also succeed in the startup world.

This is a growing tech company, so it will be fast-paced and there will sometimes be long hours to get things done, however the founder wants to bring you on the growth journey with the company, and will ensure you are rewarded for your hard work and dedication.

What’s on Offer?

The CEO, is passionate about developing and growing his team, and inspiring them to make the most of their career, alongside this, you should expect great benefits such as;

• Company bonus scheme

• Personal Learning budget

• 25 days holiday, plus bank holidays

• Private medical
