THE OPPORTUNITY

Join Avoca Finance in a permanent hybrid role offering broad exposure across general ledger, month-end, retail and e-commerce accounting, stock, intercompany, tax, audit, and financial controls.

About Avoca

Established in 1723, Avoca has grown from a historic weaving mill in County Wicklow into one of Ireland's most distinctive and best-loved lifestyle brands.

Today, Avoca combines retail, food, hospitality, and e-commerce operations, creating a varied finance environment with exposure across stores, online sales, stock, CAPEX, intercompany and group reporting.

About the Role

We are looking for a General Ledger Accountant to join the Avoca Finance team on a permanent basis.

This is a broad role with exposure across general ledger, month-end, balance sheet, revenue, e-commerce, stock, and COGS, intercompany, tax compliance and audit.

The role is hybrid, normally three days office based and two days remote, and suits a part-qualified, newly qualified, or qualified-by-experience accountant looking to broaden experience and continue developing within Finance.

What You'll Do

• Maintain accurate general ledger records and take ownership of assigned balance sheet reconciliations.
• Support month-end, quarter-end and year-end close, including accruals, prepayments, CAPEX, stock, and COGS journals.
• Reconcile retail and online revenue between EPOS, Oracle Cloud, and the general ledger.
• Manage assigned intercompany accounting, billing, reconciliations, and FX revaluation journals.
• Prepare schedules and supporting information for VAT, VIES, RTD, Intrastat and other required filings.
• Support internal and external audit requests with clear records and explanations.
• Investigate differences, resolve issues, and contribute to stronger controls and processes.
• Work closely with Finance colleagues and teams across the business to improve reporting accuracy and financial insight.
• Develop broader experience across retail accounting, e-commerce, stock, CAPEX, tax, audit, and financial systems.
• Take ownership, meet reporting deadlines, and contribute to continuous improvement across Finance.

What You'll Bring

• Practical accounting experience with a good understanding of general ledger and reconciliation processes.
• Part-qualified, newly qualified, or qualified-by-experience candidates are welcome.
• Strong Excel skills and the ability to analyse and reconcile financial information accurately.
• Good attention to detail, organisation, time management, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work to month-end and reporting deadlines in a busy environment.
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach when working across teams.
• Experience with retail, Oracle Cloud, EPOS, Cognos BI, or Blackline is desirable but not essential. Relevant accounting or finance qualifications are welcome, but a degree is not required.

You will join a business with more than 300 years of heritage and gain broad exposure across a varied retail, food, hospitality, and e-commerce finance environment. Alongside working with an experienced team, eligible team members may access:

• Continuous Professional Development
• Employee Assistance Programme
