Job description

Описание:

As Finance Manager, you will own the day‑to‑day reporting requirements of the finance function across both ripple⁺ and Droplet, and every entity behind them in the UK, US and Europe. You’ll make sure our numbers are fast, accurate and audit‑ready, and that every VAT, tax and statutory deadline is met.

Задачи:

Own the timely and accurate production of consolidated monthly management accounts across ripple⁺ and Droplet and all UK, US and EU entities. Help drive the month‑end close from WD13 to WD7 by improving the close calendar, checklists, accruals and reconciliation processes, and introducing automation where it adds speed and accuracy. Work day‑to‑day with our external bookkeeping team in India: setting clear deliverables, deadlines and review points, and transitioning additional processes to them as the function scales. Own balance sheet, intercompany and multi‑currency reconciliations, including month‑end stock reconciliations from warehouse (WMS) reports. Own product costings and their postings, deferred income postings and royalty calculations. Review the monthly results with the Head of Finance ahead of board meetings, and maintain brand, channel and entity‑level reporting that supports decision‑making. Support the Head of Finance in delivering the group’s first statutory audit for FY2026: preparing supporting schedules, managing audit requests and day‑to‑day liaison with the auditors. Build robust year‑end processes, including stock valuation and provisioning, accruals and prepayments. Support VAT and tax returns across the group, including UK VAT (MTD), EU VAT and OSS, and US sales tax returns, working with our external tax advisers on corporation tax. Support tax registrations for Droplet as it expands into new markets and channels. Maintain a group‑wide compliance calendar so every filing and payment deadline across the UK, US and EU is met. Own the daily and weekly reporting and validation cycle: weekly sales reports across both brands, 3PL and supplier invoice validations, commission calculations, key customer reconciliations, card spend and cashback reconciliations. Strengthen financial controls across payments, approvals and spend, and document processes so the function is scalable and audit‑ready. Drive process improvement across the function, actively using AI tools (such as Claude and Gemini) to build automations and workflows that remove manual work. Help improve our finance systems and integrations across accounting, ERP (Fulfil), e‑commerce and banking platforms. Contribute to projects that support our growth across both brands, including new entities, markets and channels.

Требования:

ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified (newly qualified welcome), with strong management or financial accounting experience and looking for the step up into a broader finance role. Hands‑on experience preparing month‑end management accounts, balance sheet reconciliations, accruals and prepayments. A get‑it‑done attitude and keen to improve processes, including using AI tools to automate manual work. Advanced Excel and Google Sheets skills. Extremely high attention to detail, able to manage multiple deadlines at pace. Comfortable in a fast‑paced, founder‑led environment with evolving priorities. Будет плюсом: Exposure to the statutory audit process preferred (e.g. preparing audit schedules or handling auditor requests); Exposure to EU VAT/OSS, US sales tax or multi‑entity, multi‑currency reporting is a plus; Experience in an SME, start‑up or scale‑up environment is highly desirable, as is a background in FMCG, consumer goods or DTC e‑commerce; Xero experience preferred; Fulfil or Shopify a plus

Условия:

A dynamic, entrepreneurial environment with direct exposure to decision‑making. Real ownership of the reporting and compliance function across a growing multi‑brand, multi‑entity group, with a path to Financial Controller. A culture of ownership, learning and high standards. Competitive salary reflective of experience and impact. £40 per month budget towards gym or wellness subscription. Pension scheme.
