As a Finance Transformation Principal Consultant within the Sourcing, IT Strategy and Corporate Services capability at PA, you will be given the opportunity to work on complex and interesting challenges faced by public and private sector organisations in the UK and internationally. You will be trusted to work across diverse programmes with our clients to improve their back-office functions, offering a rare opportunity to build unrivalled expertise and experience.
PA offers more than a job. We offer a career in consulting, a stake in our firm, and an environment where individuals and ideas matter. As a Corporate Services consultant, there are a number of areas where you will deliver value to your clients – by guiding them in transforming their Finance or Procurement function, leading their efforts to leverage a shared service, or supporting them through the selection and embedding of a new ERP solution into their business. You will provide client-side advice throughout the full lifecycle of the transformation, from initial strategy, through delivery, to completion and benefits realisation. You will demonstrate initiative, drive, and a commitment to helping your clients succeed.
At PA you have the license to think innovatively when it comes to achieving the best outcomes for our clients. We build multi-disciplinary teams to achieve our clients’ ambitions so you will have the opportunity to work with colleagues with a range of business transformation, technology, and digital expertise across a range of sectors.
We are looking for experienced finance transformation and corporate service consultants that understand the full life cycle of finance transformation from strategy through to delivery. We are looking for adaptable finance professionals that have a diverse skillset, equally comfortable in designing functional strategies and operating models to landing transformative digital programmes through business change.

Please be aware that some of our UK roles at PA Consulting require a UK security clearance.
All PA people are required to undergo background checks and to achieve the Baseline Personnel Security Standard however, some UK roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting, where applicants must have at least 5 years of continuous residency in the UK.
We therefore ask that you only apply if you meet the residency requirements (i.e. you are a British citizen or have been resident in the UK for the past 5 years), as this is the prerequisite for a security clearance. If you're unsure about your eligibility, we encourage you to review the UK Government’s guidance on security vetting before applying.
