Job description

This is a role for a Financial Accountant who enjoys complexity, thrives on pace, and wants visibility into a fast-moving, performance-driven business.

You'll sit close to the numbers that matter, revenue, cost drivers, cash, controls, and decision-making, and you'll be trusted to own your space end-to-end. Accuracy is non-negotiable, but so is curiosity, commercial thinking, and the confidence to ask why.

What you'll be doing:

You'll be responsible for the full accounting and reporting cycle across multiple streams of activity, including:

  • Monthly management reporting and reconciliations
  • Ensuring data accuracy across products, regions, platforms and brands
  • Investigating variances, resolving open items, and staying ahead of anomalies
  • Preparing income statements and balance sheets with meaningful commentary
  • Managing accruals, prepayments, intercompany billing, depreciation and FX
  • Supporting internal and external audits with confidence and precision
  • Handling tax, VAT and regulatory reporting across multiple regions
  • Managing weekly cash flow, payments and supplier balances
  • Strengthening controls, documenting processes, and improving how things are done

In short: this is a hands-on, high-ownership role where your work directly supports senior leadership decision-making.

Who will thrive here. This role will suit someone who:

  • Has a solid accounting foundation and loves getting into the detail
  • Is comfortable working in a high-volume, data-rich environment
  • Enjoys structure, controls and deadlines, but isn't rigid
  • Can manage multiple priorities without dropping the ball
  • Communicates clearly and works well across teams
  • Takes accountability seriously and doesn't need micromanaging

What we're looking for:

  • BCom in Finance, Accounting or similar
  • Minimum 3 years' experience in a Financial Accountant or similar role
  • Strong Excel skills
  • Experience in complex, transactional environments
  • Exposure to ERP systems (Business Central experience is a bonus)

Why this role stands out:

This is not a back-office accounting seat. You'll be part of a high-performance finance team where quality, pace and ownership matter. The environment is modern, energetic and demanding, but supportive if you're someone who brings drive and initiative.

If you're looking for comfort, this isn't it. If you're looking for growth, exposure, and a role that keeps you sharp, this absolutely is.

Sounds like your kind of challenge? Then this one's worth a conversation. Please send your full detailed and most recent CV to me.

If you don't hear back from us within 2 weeks of applying, please consider your application unsuccessful. But stay in touch, follow us online and keep an eye out for future opportunities.
