• Prepare journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and commercial accruals
• Contribute to local and group reporting packs
• Support Account Assistant with Accounts Receivable, Credit Control, and Accounts Payable processes
• Assist in cash flow forecasting and banking/payment run reviews
• Prepare VAT and corporation tax returns
• Act as liaison for auditors, preparing required documentation
• Lead and participate in ad hoc financial projects and reporting improvements

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified or part-qualified accountant (CIMA/ACCA/ACA) or equivalent experience
• Solid management accounting knowledge and commercial finance understanding
• Previous experience in FMCG or a high-growth challenger brand is advantageous
• Strong Excel skills; experience with Microsoft D365 and Power BI is a plus
• Exceptional interpersonal and stakeholder engagement skills
• Proactive, organised, and able to juggle competing priorities with ease
• Analytical, detail-oriented, and confident in fast-moving settings
