eCommerce Accounts Assistant – eClarity

Rewarding salary + benefits

Fully remote – UK based

We've partnered with the exciting ecom finance agency, eClarity, as we search for an eCommerce Accounts Assistant to join their scaling team!

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a brand working with some of the most disruptive growth brands in the industry, to enable success for these brands through a deep understanding and control of their numbers.

Company Overview

Here at eClarity we know that eCommerce Brand owners need support when it comes to finance. Too many founders waste countless hours doing bookkeeping or just trying to figure it all out. Well, here at eClarity we give founders back what is most precious to them - time. This allows them to focus on other key aspects of the business - operations, marketing, product and strategy etc.

We worry about the boring, yet super crucial stuff, whilst they focus on what they're good at and enjoy.

Depending on the size of our client’s business we deliver our support in a number of ways, from providing a fractional CFO to work hand in hand with the founder to a fully outsourced finance function, where we handle all the bookkeeping, payroll, taxes, cross border expansion, FX management, cost management, forecasting, fund raising, commercial advisory, banking structure and more.

We are working with some of the most exciting and up and coming brands across the UK, Ireland and most recently in Dubai. Our team members are based across the globe including Bangkok, Dubai, Cork and even Dundee!

As we are a tech first business, all our solutions are cloud based so our team is fully remote. We want to provide a place for people to grow and challenge themselves, allowing freedom through choice of work location and to help as many businesses along the way. Our "why" is to make 100 entrepreneurs financially free by 2030 and this role is a pivotal one in terms of unlocking our mission.
