- Support management accounts, budgeting, and performance analysis
- Ensure VAT compliance and support year-end audit processes
- Work closely with operations on logistics, stock, and cost allocations
What They’re Looking For
- Strong SME / scale-up experience, ideally in food & beverage, grocery, wholesale or multi-channel retail
- Proven experience running month-end and maintaining clean, accurate accounts
- Strong understanding of financial controls, reconciliations, and UK accounting standards
- Experience with integrated finance systems (ecommerce + accounting stack)
- Comfortable working hands-on in a fast-paced, growing business
- Food & Beverage / Grocery / Wholesale experience is a must
Why This Role
This hire is being driven by growth and increasing operational complexity, as the business scales across multiple revenue channels.
You’ll be joining a business with:
- Strong balance sheet & funding
- Established retail presence + growing wholesale partnerships
- A clear focus on building a best-in-class finance function
