By joining Raspberry Pi, you'll be adding to a lean and passionate team dedicated to democratising technology and providing affordable access to computing tools to people across the globe.

We are looking for a permanent, full-time candidate to join the Finance team as a Management Accountant. This position is based at our Cambridge office on the Science Park and is full time. A minimum of four days per week in the office is expected.

About Raspberry Pi

Founded as a charity in 2008 and selling its first computer in 2012, today Raspberry Pi is two separate organisations in two locations:

• Here at Raspberry Pi Ltd, we build best-selling computers, microcontrollers, and supporting software for industrial and embedded customers as well as home users worldwide.
• Raspberry Pi Foundation is a charitable enterprise dedicated to enabling all young people to realise their full potential through computing.

Key Responsibilities

We are looking for someone who will be principally responsible for inventory, accounts payable, accounts receivable, intangibles, and other ad hoc areas. Below is a non-exhaustive list of some key tasks you would be expected to perform:

• Inventory management: Overseeing inventory movements, conducting quality control, and making adjustments; managing semiconductor and memory inventories; attending and overseeing all stock counts, including quarterly counts located in Wales; helping the team with queries.
• Accounts payable: Checking and overseeing inventory accounting entries on invoices; managing monthly payment offsets for key suppliers.
• Accounts receivable: Credit control management, including escalation to credit insurers; quarterly reviews of credit limits; royalty invoicing; helping the team with queries.

In addition, candidates should have:
