This is a large, well-known UK retailer with a strong brand and nationwide presence. Finance plays a central role in driving both operational efficiency and commercial decision-making, giving you visibility and impact across the business. The culture is fast-paced, collaborative, and entrepreneurial, ideal for someone who enjoys variety and being close to the action, rather than stuck in a back-office role.

• Prepare periodic management accounts with detailed variance analysis for review by finance leadership and key stakeholders in retail and marketing.
• Execute department balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
• Contribute to the preparation of forecasts and budgets, measuring performance for store retail costs, marketing spend, and head office functions.
• Compile and distribute weekly reports that enhance decision-making for the business.
• Deliver insightful analysis to help operational and marketing teams understand cost drivers and proactively challenge areas of underperformance.
