London, United Kingdom Odysea Full time

**Who we are**

At Odysea, we believe that slow food is the necessary antidote to the restlessness of modern life. It brings us together, feeds conversation, creates new traditions, new rituals, and new stories. For us, life revolves around the kitchen table in Greece, and we want everything we create to reflect that. It’s simple: we only sell food that we would happily share with our own family.

For the past 30 years, Odysea has worked with specialist suppliers to bring the finest Greek and Mediterranean products to the UK. Every product we supply has a story or something special about it: when a producer serenades their goats with classical music or painstakingly transports their beehives by boat, you can really taste their passion and dedication in the end product - and that’s the real secret ingredient.

We are an entrepreneurial and dedicated team that values our family culture and takes personal accountability for our customers’ and suppliers’ satisfaction. Our teams operate in a rapidly growing, fast-paced, highly pressurised environment where individuals are expected to deliver against tight deadlines. We want people who are passionate, energetic, innovative, and flexible to operate in our dynamic environment.

**What we’re looking for**

Reporting to the Financial Controller this role is essential for ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of our financial operations. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their finance career to learn and develop their skills. This person should have a proactive attitude and will be excited to make the most of this opportunity. Some experience in an FCMG environment would be beneficial.

The role is based in Leyton, London (UK) and working from the office full time.

**Your day to day responsibilities**
- Accounts Payable and Receivable:

- Process and reconcile purchase invoices and bookkeeping.
- Monitor accounts to ensure timely payments.
- Assist with queries and resolutions of aged balance accounts.
- Financial Reporting:

- Working collaboratively with reporting aged debtors & creditors.

- Support the month-end and year-end close processes
- Data Entry and Record Keeping:
