ABOUT US:
Founded in 1945, RH Amar is a proud 3rd-generation family business with a rich heritage and a portfolio of premium brands and products. We specialise in the food distribution sector, importing and distributing a diverse range of premium food products. We partner with leading household brands from around the world, dedicated to delivering exceptional quality while nurturing sustainable relationships with both suppliers and customers.
We empower our dedicated team with both autonomy and accountability, driving growth in the UK market through long-term partnerships. If you value integrity, creativity, and teamwork, join us and help continue our legacy of excellence.
We are seeking a well-rounded Accountant to support our busy finance operations, during a period of transformation. You will work closely with the Financial Controller and the rest of the team in a multi-faceted role, with exposure to selected management accounting activities. This role is primarily focused on management accounting and day-to-day finance processes, while contributing to reporting, analysis, and business insights alongside the wider finance team.
It’s essential that you can start within two weeks, and that you can hit the ground running. We aren’t looking for someone who’s wanting to gain more experience, this is a role for someone who is excited by working for FMCG or similar, who already has the experience we need.
You’ll have management accounting experience developed within a FMCG, food, retail, ecommerce or manufacturing environment. You’ll be flexible, proactive and able to grasp new systems and procedures quickly. You’ll enjoy problem-solving at pace, you’ll have strong attention to detail and of course you will be analytical, careful and highly numerate.

* Provide audit support, including preparation of audit schedules and responding to audit queries
* Support Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable processes as required to ensure accurate reporting
* Assist with implementing process and system improvements to improve efficiency and data quality
Key Requirements
* Experience in a Management Accounting or Financial Accounting role.
* Solid understanding of accounting principles (FRS102 / IFRS / UK GAAP)
* Experience in finance transformation and process improvement is highly desirable
* Relevant industry experience within the FMCG/distribution industry is highly desirable, but we value transferable skills just as much as direct experience.

* High attention to detail and strong organisational skills
* Ability to work in a fast-paced, evolving environment
* Ability to start within two weeks
* Comfortable with a hybrid role
