Step into a senior role within a luxury brand that blends heritage with innovation.
We are a globally admired luxury retail brand with a long-standing commitment to quality, creativity, and craft. With over 300 employees across our UK headquarters and stores in London, Dublin, and Manchester, we continue to evolve while nurturing a collaborative, people-first culture.
We're now seeking a senior-level Accounts Receivable Accountant professional with a strong eCommerce background to join our growing finance team. This is not just a transactional role, it's a high-impact opportunity to own and enhance our AR processes for one of the most dynamic areas of the business.
Why This Financial Accountant Role Stands Out
Strategic impact - you'll lead AR for our eCommerce and Standalone Stores, owning the function and driving improvements.
Technical challenge - the eCommerce area is fast-paced, complex, and highly visible; your experience and insight will be key to streamlining processes and identifying smart solutions.
Team culture - join a business that fosters learning, creativity, and kindness, where finance is trusted, valued, and growing.
Financial Accountant Key Responsibilities
End-to-end ownership of Accounts Receivable for eCommerce and Standalone Stores.
Review, challenge, and improve AR processes-bring ideas, implement change, and solve inefficiencies.
Support reconciliation of concession stores and identify improvements.
Oversee daily sales and bank reconciliations, investigate and resolve variances.
Monitor customer balances, credit notes, deposits, and store settlement differences.
Deliver accurate month-end and year-end closing activity including balance sheet reconciliations and audit support.
Manage the AR shared inbox and provide support cover across the team as needed.
Work closely with the Senior Financial Accounting Manager on strategic projects and continuous improvement initiatives.
What We're Looking For
Senior-level AR experience - at least 5 years' experience, ideally in luxury or high-volume retail.
Strong eCommerce understanding - you'll need a working knowledge of eComm payment flows, settlements, and associated reconciliations.
Process-driven problem solver - able to spot inefficiencies, suggest solutions, and drive change with confidence.
Excel savvy - advanced skills for handling large data sets and reconciliations.
Part-qualified (ACCA/CIMA or similar) and comfortable with accounting principles.
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
A collaborative team player with a high attention to detail and a proactive mindset.
Experience with SAP and/or Cegid is a bonus.

Candidates must have the full right to work in the UK; visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
