Finance Intern – Rotational Programme (Manchester)

Gain a front-row seat to how finance operates at scale. As a Finance Intern in our Manchester Global Finance Services (shared services center), you’ll rotate across Order to Cash (OTC), Procure to Pay (PTP), and Record to Report (RTR), building a complete picture of how finance teams operate within a global organisation.

This isn’t a single-team internship - you’ll work across multiple functions, contribute to real financial processes, and develop both technical and analytical skills that form the foundation of a finance career.

What You’ll Be Doing

During your internship, you will rotate across different areas of finance and support a variety of activities, including:

Order to Cash (OTC) – Revenue, Billing, and Collections

• Support billing, invoicing, and revenue recognition processes
• Assist with aged debtors and cash collection tracking
• Maintain client purchase orders and approvals in Oracle
  
  

Procure to Pay (PTP) - Supplier and Spend Management

• Support supplier invoice processing and query resolution
• Assist with purchase order management and controls
• Help ensure accurate and timely payment cycles
  
  

Record to Report (RTR) – Financial Control & Reporting

• Contribute to month-end close activities, including reconciliations
• Assist in maintaining financial records and journal postings
• Contribute to reporting and audit preparation
  
  

Across All Rotations

• Produce weekly and monthly reports (e.g. reconciliations, contract lists, missing data checks)
• Analyse financial data to identify discrepancies and improvement opportunities
• Support process improvements and data quality initiatives
• Work with Oracle and other finance systems to maintain accurate records
  
  

What You’ll Gain

• End-to-end exposure to finance operations in a global organisation
• A clear understanding of how OTC, PTP, and RTR connect and impact business performance
• Hands-on experience with real financial data, systems, and processes
• The opportunity to contribute to process improvements with visible impact
• Strong foundations in financial analysis, controls, and reporting
• Mentorship from experienced finance professionals across multiple disciplines
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• 2nd year student, currently studying Finance, Accountancy, Data Analytics, or a related field
• Strong Excel and data handling skills (e.g. formulas, data analysis, reporting)
• Comfortable working with large datasets and identifying trends or issues
• High attention to detail and a focus on accuracy
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• Proactive, curious, and willing to take ownership of tasks
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with different teams
  
  

Previous finance or accounting experience is beneficial but not essential.
