  • Strengthen consolidation, reporting quality, and alignment between global finance teams.

Skills & Experience Required

  • Strong statutory reporting and audit background, ideally trained in practice.
  • Experience within retail, fashion, or consumer products advantageous but not essential.
  • Experience leading multi-entity, multi-currency reporting in a complex international environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage outsourced accounting functions.
  • Proven leadership capability, with experience coaching and developing teams at varying levels.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, able to influence commercially-driven senior leaders.
  • Comfortable implementing structure, process and scalability within a fast-growing business.

What's on Offer?

  • £90,000–£100,000 base + bonus
  • Hybrid working (3 days office)
  • Private medical
  • Life insurance
  • Pension contribution
  • 25 days holiday + Christmas closure + additional mid-year week off
  • Generous product discounts & staff sample sales
