Job description

Drive daily impact here at Pets at Home!

Join us as a Cash & Banking Manager, leading transactional excellence across our Vet Practices.

About the Role

We’re on the lookout for a qualified accountant (or qualified by experience) with strong cash and banking operations expertise, to join our established, fast-paced finance team.

This isn’t a Treasury role – you won’t be managing cash flow or setting up accounts. Instead, you’ll take the lead on the daily movement of money across our UK-wide vet practice network, overseeing everything from direct credits to reconciliations, all while upholding robust controls and best-in-class service.

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t settle for the status quo – you'll be excited to drive continuous improvement, enhance efficiency and bring smarter processes to life.

You’ll manage a committed team, partner closely with stakeholders across the business and ensure our transactional finance runs with accuracy, integrity and professionalism.

The role offers an 18 month fixed term contract (to support a wider business project) and hybrid working (two office days per week) from our Support Office in Handforth, Cheshire.

What you'll bring:

• Proven experience in cash and banking transactions
• A hands-on leader with line management experience
• Strong grasp of controls, reconciliations and accounting impact
• A passion for problem-solving and process improvement
• Confident with systems, Excel and stakeholder communication

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you.

If you're a proactive, solutions-focused finance professional who thrives on making things better every day – we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and help us keep our vet business running smoothly.
