The Role
Reporting directly into the Finance Director, you’ll play a key role in the production of accurate monthly management accounts while working closely with the wider finance and operational teams.
A major part of the role will involve stock accounting and reconciliation, so previous experience working within a stock-led environment is essential.

- Balance sheet reconciliations and financial control
- Detailed stock and inventory accounting
- Stock reconciliations, movements and valuation
- Investigating stock variances and identifying discrepancies
- Supporting month-end and year-end processes
- Analysis of margins, revenue and costs
- Producing regular management information and reporting
- Supporting budgeting and forecasting processes
- Working closely with operational teams to improve financial performance
- Assisting with audit and statutory reporting requirements
- Identifying opportunities to improve processes and financial controls
About You
We’re looking for a qualified accountant with strong management accounting experience and, ideally, a background within retail, FMCG, wholesale or another stock-intensive environment.
You’ll need to be comfortable working with large volumes of data and have a strong understanding of how stock impacts the P&L and balance sheet.
