We embrace change and new ideas, and you will have the autonomy to challenge the status quo and make a real difference.

And this is much more than a month-end role. Alongside delivering a strong reporting process, you'll gain exposure across the Group, develop relationships with finance and non-finance colleagues, and take real ownership of key P&L and balance sheet areas.

• Own key balance sheet reconciliations, accruals, prepayments and provisions
• Manage Group agent commissions, rebates and royalties
• Work directly with country managers as a key finance contact
• Translate financial results into meaningful insight for non-finance stakeholders
• Contribute to budgets, forecasts and financial statement preparation
• Collaborate with the wider Finance team to understand and explain business performance

What we're looking for

• ACA qualified, essential
• Strong financial reporting and accounting knowledge
• Confidence in explaining financial performance to non-finance colleagues
• Strong Excel skills
• A proactive approach and the confidence to take ownership

Experience with Dynamics 365 or in the retail sector would be beneficial, but is not essential.
