Finance Manager

B+A is the fastest, most creative management consultancy in the world. 

We support our clients unlock better answers faster by exploring three questions:

1. What is going on in the world around us? 
2. Where do we go next? 
3. How do we get the best from our people? 

We exist to create a world of cultural, charitable, profitable enterprise, so work with huge global corporations (like Nike + Clinique), arts organisations (like the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, or Punchdrunk) or charities and NGOs (like Marie Stopes International, or Unicef.)
