About the Role:

Osttra’s Finance team requires a recently qualified accountant to join the FP&A team. Osttra is the home of MarkitSERV, Traiana, TriOptima and Reset businesses that offer post trade services to a community of 10k+ clients. Our company brings together people, processes, and networks to solve the markets’ most challenging problems. Innovating, integrating, and optimizing the post‑trade workflow – we are positively shaping the way the community works forever.

There is significant change within finance as we work to build a fully standalone finance function and develop the reporting and analysis we provide. This role will suit someone who enjoys variety and is intellectually curious. While you will have regular responsibilities, this role will have changing deliverables as we respond to the needs of shareholders, the finance function and the broader business.

Key Responsibilities:

Financial Reporting & Analysis:

• Assist in the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports, ensuring accuracy and timely delivery.
• Conduct variance analysis (actual vs. budget/forecast) and provide insightful commentary on key performance drivers and financial trends.
• Support the development of dashboards and key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor business performance effectively.

Budgeting & Forecasting:

• Contribute to the annual budgeting process and periodic financial re‑forecasts, working closely with various departments to gather inputs and assumptions.
• Develop and maintain financial models to support forecasting activities and scenario planning.

Business Partnering:

• Collaborate with operational teams to understand their financial needs and provide financial insights that support strategic decision‑making.
• Assist in ad‑hoc financial analysis projects as required by senior management.

Process Improvement:

• Identify opportunities for process efficiencies and improvements within the FP&A function.
• Support the implementation of new financial systems or tools.

Data Management:

• Ensure data integrity and accuracy in financial systems and reports.
• Assist in the collection, validation, and interpretation of financial and operational data.

Skills and Requirements:

• Recently qualified accountant.
• Personable with good communication skills, able to present complex financial information clearly and concisely to stakeholders at all levels.
• Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities for multiple stakeholders.
• Proactive, adaptable self‑starter with strong organisational and time‑management skills, able to thrive in a fast‑paced, evolving environment.

About OSTTRA:

Launched in 2021, OSTTRA unites four businesses that have been at the heart of post‑trade evolution and innovation for over 20 years: MarkitServ, Traiana, TriOptima and Reset. With an outstanding track record of developing and supporting critical market infrastructure, our combined network connects thousands of market participants to streamline end‑to‑end workflows – from trade capture at the point of execution, through portfolio optimization, to clearing and settlement.

Joining the OSTTRA team is a unique opportunity to help build a bold new business with an outstanding heritage in financial technology, playing a central role in supporting global financial markets.
