About this Business and Finance role in the UK
Business and finance Skilled Worker sponsorship covers analyst, consultant, accounting, marketing, operations and project management roles. Large UK employers in financial services, professional services, FMCG, energy and the public sector regularly sponsor international graduates and experienced hires. The role itself must sit at RQF Level 6 (degree-equivalent) or above to qualify.
Day-to-day responsibilities

- Build dashboards, reports and forecasts for senior stakeholders
- Support strategic projects with research, financial modelling and stakeholder engagement
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams across product, marketing, finance and operations
- Drive process improvements and document repeatable business workflows
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree (typically business, finance, economics, accountancy or analytics)
- 0-3 years of relevant experience for junior roles, more for senior — many UK firms run structured graduate schemes
- English fluency at B1 CEFR or above for visa eligibility
- Right to work in the UK — the Skilled Worker visa provides this when the employer is on the Home Office sponsor register
Skilled Worker visa eligibility
- Visa route
- Skilled Worker visa
- SOC 2020 code
- Varies by role specifics
- Minimum salary
- £38,700 / year
The general Skilled Worker route applies to most business and finance roles. Salary must meet £38,700 per year or the SOC-specific going rate, whichever is higher. Graduates within four years of qualifying — or candidates under 26 — may qualify under the new-entrant discount of £30,960. The route leads to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after five years of continuous residence. Always check the latest guidance on gov.uk before applying — figures here are approximate.
Salary in context
This role advertises £24,000 - £24,000 — approximately £24,000 per year on an annualised basis. That is below the Skilled Worker visa salary floor of £38,700 per year.
UK business graduate schemes typically pay £30-40k in year one, rising to £45-65k by year three. London-based finance and consulting roles command significant premiums; regional graduate salaries cluster lower.
Career progression
Business roles typically progress from analyst to senior analyst, manager, then senior manager or head-of within 5-8 years. UK graduate schemes pay between £30,960 (new-entrant threshold) and £55,000+ for mid-level positions in London. After five years on the Skilled Worker visa, candidates can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), and many UK accountancy / consulting firms support professional qualifications (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CFA) in parallel.
