Job description

Ready to transition from Audit to the front lines of E-commerce?

A high-growth, trend-setting e-commerce brand in Central London is looking for its next Management Accountant. This is the perfect "first move" for a newly qualified professional who wants to swap billable hours for brand-building and real-time commercial impact.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Finance Director, the Management Accountant will move beyond retrospective testing and into the heart of the business.

• Drive the Numbers: Full ownership of month-end, P&L, and cash flow—actually seeing how stock moves and margins shift.
• Commercial Strategy: Analyzing the "why" behind the data. From marketing ROI to global shipping efficiencies, this role influences real-world decisions.
• Build the Infrastructure: As the brand scales, the Management Accountant will refine controls and evolve reporting processes to keep pace with rapid growth.

Who is the Ideal Match?

The brand is looking for someone with a high "technical ceiling" and an inquisitive mindset.

• Newly Qualified (ACA/ACCA/CIMA): 0–1 year PQE.
• Audit-Trained: A strong preference is held for those coming from a practice background. The brand values the rigour, documentation standards, and "clean" working papers that audit training instils.
• Excel Enthusiast: Someone who can navigate complex data sets with ease and turn them into a story.
• High Energy: This is a fast-moving retail environment—adaptability is non-negotiable.

The Office Culture

• Location: Central London.
• Presence: 5 days a week in-office. This brand thrives on high-speed collaboration, spontaneous problem-solving, and a shared team energy.

Interested in making the move? If you’re a newly qualified accountant with an audit background and a passion for retail, this is your chance to join a brand that is truly scaling.
