This is a large, well-known UK retailer with a strong brand and nationwide presence. Finance plays a central role in driving both operational efficiency and commercial decision-making, giving you visibility and impact across the business. The culture is fast-paced, collaborative, and entrepreneurial, ideal for someone who enjoys variety and being close to the action, rather than stuck in a back-office role.

Execute department balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
Contribute to the preparation of forecasts and budgets, measuring performance for store retail costs, marketing spend, and head office functions.
Compile and distribute weekly reports that enhance decision-making for the business.
Deliver insightful analysis to help operational and marketing teams understand cost drivers and proactively challenge areas of underperformance.
Support team members and wider business with ad hoc duties as required
