* Ensure VAT compliance and support year-end audit processes
* Work closely with operations on logistics, stock, and cost allocations
What They’re Looking For
* Strong SME / scale-up experience, ideally in food & beverage, grocery, wholesale or multi-channel retail
* Proven experience running month-end and maintaining clean, accurate accounts
* Strong understanding of financial controls, reconciliations, and UK accounting standards
* Experience with integrated finance systems (ecommerce + accounting stack)
* Comfortable working hands-on in a fast-paced, growing business
* Food & Beverage / Grocery / Wholesale experience is a must
Why This Role
This hire is being driven by growth and increasing operational complexity, as the business scales across multiple revenue channels.
You’ll be joining a business with:
* Strong balance sheet & funding
* Established retail presence + growing wholesale partnerships
* A clear focus on building a best-in-class finance function
