Financial Analyst

Finance Dispute Analyst Location: Coventry Contract: 6 months TechNET IT has partnered with a leading UK healthcare and clinical services organisation to recruit a Dispute Analyst to join its Finance function on an initial 6-month contract. Our client is a large, established organisation operating within the highly regulated healthcare sector, providing specialist clinical and homecare services to patients across the UK. This is a hands-on analytical role focused on investigating and resolving invoice queries and disputes, working across financial data, contracts, transactions and internal systems to understand discrepancies, establish root causes and drive resolution. The Role You will be responsible for managing invoice disputes from investigation through to resolution, working closely with Finance, Credit Control, operational teams and customers. Key responsibilities will include:

• Investigating complex invoice queries and disputes, analysing financial data, historical records, contracts and transactions
• Identifying the cause of discrepancies and determining the appropriate resolution
• Maintaining accurate dispute records, correspondence and investigation history
• Collating and analysing data from multiple systems, portals and spreadsheets
• Working extensively with Excel, including checking data accuracy and pivot tables
• Liaising with internal stakeholders and customers to progress and resolve outstanding queries
• Providing clear explanations of findings and proposed solutions
• Preparing accurate information for Billing and Finance teams to action
• Identifying recurring dispute trends and root causes
• Recommending process improvements and preventative measures to reduce future invoice discrepancies The role has a strong continuous-improvement element: the successful contractor will not simply process disputes but help understand why they are happening and how they can be prevented from recurring. What We're Looking For We're particularly interested in candidates with:
• Previous experience within invoice disputes, billing disputes, finance queries, credit control or accounts receivable
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to investigate information from multiple sources
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel
• Experience reviewing financial data and ideally contracts or commercial documentation
• Excellent attention to detail
• Strong customer and stakeholder communication skills
• Confidence handling challenging queries and negotiating resolutions
• The ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines
• A commercially minded, solutions-focused approach An AAT Level 2 qualification or equivalent experience would be beneficial. Previous experience within healthcare, homecare, pharmaceuticals or another highly regulated environment would also be advantageous. If you have a strong background in invoice dispute resolution and financial analysis and enjoy getting underneath complex discrepancies rather than simply processing them, please apply or contact me for a confidential conversation.
