When you think of a job in finance, your mind might jump to a corporate firm in London with a pre-carved career path. However, you might not have considered that within the Travis Perkins Group, we offer an exciting range of finance-related job opportunities for graduates or career changers perhaps looking for an opportunity to work in a Commercial world!
All of our teams are ever-evolving, and by joining our finance teams, perhaps as a financial analyst, for example, you wouldn’t have to just work your way up a vertical ladder. You’d have the opportunity to move up, sideways, diagonally or even leverage your skillset in another direction to take your finance career further to develop a completely new career path.
If you’re interested in pursuing a career as a finance professional, and you want to keep developing your skills, experience and knowledge, read on to find out more about career-changing jobs in finance at Travis Perkins.
What jobs are available in our finance teams?
Depending on your level of experience in finance, you might be looking to find your first finance job after graduating, or perhaps you’re looking for a step up on the career ladder. We have finance jobs at all levels, so the likelihood is we might have something to suit you.
As our business grows and develops, we’ll be looking to recruit and develop:
- Financial Planning and Analysis
- Finance Business Partnering
- Financial Accounting
- Management Accounting
- Tax
- Commercial & Business Management
If you join us as an analyst after University, for example, we’ll pay for your training to become a qualified accountant whilst on our 3-year graduate scheme. Colleagues that choose this route have the opportunity to work whilst studying towards level 7 accountancy qualification (ACCA or CIMA) enabling them to learn whilst they earn.
Gain experience across multiple divisions within our Group
At Travis Perkins, we have finance roles available at the wider Group level, but also within each business and division. This gives our colleagues the opportunity to move around to different departments and work on varying projects to gain experience. For example, at the Group level, you might be involved in acquisitions, mergers or demergers, or within one of our businesses, you might be responsible for setting annual budgets.
One colleague, for example, started in a branch as an HGV driver, progressed to our planning team looking at statistical analysis, and has since moved onto our finance team studying for CIMA qualification. His knowledge of our branches, supply chains and day-to-day business enables him to successfully put data into real-world thinking.
What benefits can you enjoy in the finance team at Travis Perkins?
We’re currently undergoing a 12-month finance modernisation process, which involves upgrading and updating our systems, getting involved in new projects, and colleagues taking on secondments to gain new skills and experience. As our business grows and develops, so do our people.
If you’re looking for investment in your career progression, we can offer just that and more. Within our Group, all of our colleagues have access to personal development, career path mapping and learning and development programmes. If you’re joining us from practice or out of sector, you’ll have the opportunity to be exposed to a wider remit than you might otherwise only find in big consultancies.
Amongst other benefits, across the business, we’ve also fully adapted to hybrid working. If colleagues need to concentrate and get their heads down, they might choose to stay home for part of the week. At the moment, with half-year figures coming up, colleagues might need to work together, and so they head into The Hub to collaborate. We’ve found that our teams enjoy the flexibility of not having to always travel into the office or out to clients.
