Overview

Kate Barton is an independent womenswear brand based in Petersfield, known for thoughtful design, small-scale production, and quality craftsmanship.

We're looking for a Junior Management Accountant to support the smooth, day-to-day running of our finance operations — ensuring suppliers are paid on time, stock values are accurate, and our accounts are always up to date.

Working closely with the wider team, you'll play a key role in keeping everything organised behind the scenes — from cashflow tracking and reconciliations to preparing monthly reports that help us plan ahead.

You'll take real responsibility for keeping our financial information clear, accurate, and up to date — making sure everyone in the business has confidence in the numbers they're working from. Your attention to detail will help translate the day-to-day activity of the brand into reliable figures that support decision-making and future planning.

It's a hands-on, detail-driven role suited to someone who enjoys accuracy, structure, and being part of a small, collaborative team.

Key Responsibilities

1. Bookkeeping & Transaction Management

  • Maintain accurate records in Xero, including posting supplier invoices, bank transactions, and journal entries
  • Prepare and process weekly supplier payments, ensuring approvals and correct allocations
  • Reconcile bank accounts, PayPal, and Shopify Capital transactions
  • Monitor and maintain accurate balances across the HSBC overdraft and trade finance facilities

2. Cashflow & Reporting

  • Update weekly cashflow forecasts and flag any upcoming shortfalls or timing risks
  • Support senior management with month-end reporting
  • Prepare summary P&L, balance sheet, and key cash metrics for internal packs

3. Stock & COGS Control

  • Work with the production team to track stock values, landed costs, and margins
  • Liaise with the warehouse to reconcile Mintsoft stock vs Xero
  • Assist with quarterly stock valuations and cost-of-goods journals

4. Compliance & Audit Support

  • Support VAT returns, payroll checks, and annual audit prep
  • Maintain digital filing for all finance documentation

5. Systems & Process Improvement

  • Help refine processes between Xero, Mintsoft, and Shopify
  • Identify efficiency improvements or automation opportunities
  • Support any system integrations or finance migrations as needed

About You

  • Minimum 2 years' experience in an accounts or finance role (retail or ecommerce preferred)
  • Proficient in Xero and confident with Excel/Google Sheets
  • Organised, reliable, and comfortable working independently
  • Excellent attention to detail and numerical accuracy
  • Strong communication skills; comfortable liaising across teams and suppliers

Salary & Benefits

  • Competitive hourly or day rate (depending on experience)
  • Flexible working pattern
