Financial Accountant

The Role

We’re working with a global technology business that’s transforming how major retailers, banks and hospitality providers operate through automation and innovation.

They’re now looking for a Financial Accountant to join their head office finance team in a role that blends technical accounting, stock ownership, and genuine business partnering.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced, international environment and wants to take real ownership of inventory accounting, reporting and financial insight.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll play a key role in ensuring financial accuracy while driving insight across a stock-led business:

• Own stock accounting processes, including stock counting, valuation and provisioning
• Lead stock reconciliations and variance analysis, working closely with operational teams to investigate discrepancies
• Deliver clear, actionable variance reporting, supporting decision-making across finance and the wider business
• Analyse slow-moving and obsolete stock, making recommendations to improve financial performance
• Take responsibility for month-end close activities, including journals and balance sheet reconciliations
• Partner with teams across Supply Chain and Operations to improve processes and controls
• Present insights and lead monthly review discussions with senior stakeholders

Alongside this, you’ll also:

• Oversee a small international Accounts Payable function
• Manage intercompany reconciliations and ensure reporting deadlines are met
• Track and improve KPIs across the finance function
• Support audits and statutory reporting

What We’re Looking For

We’re keen to speak with qualified accountants who bring a mix of technical ability and commercial awareness:

• Fully qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
• Strong experience in financial accounting within a stock-driven environment (e.g. manufacturing, retail, logistics)
• Hands-on experience with stock accounting, stock counts, provisioning and variance analysis
• Comfortable working to deadlines in a fast-paced, multinational business
• Strong communicator, able to work with both finance and non-finance stakeholders
• Experience with ERP systems (JD Edwards would be a bonus)

Why Apply?

• Join a global, market-leading organisation with a strong reputation for innovation
• Work in a business where finance is a true partner to operations
• Gain exposure to international teams and processes
• Clear opportunities for development and progression
• Collaborative culture with a real focus on people and wellbeing

Benefits

• 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays (with option to buy more)
• Annual bonus scheme
• Competitive pension
• Private medical & dental cover
• Life assurance & income protection
• Ongoing training and development
• Wellbeing support & employee benefits platform
