Following another successful year, this wholesale distribution business is in a strong financial position to take advantage of growth opportunities in their sector. By expanding their products and services whilst maintaining excellent customer service, the management team is confident they will see a further increase in revenue and gross profit margins.
Part of the strategic plan involves strengthening the finance department with the appointment of a Management Accountant who will supervise a small, capable team and report into the Financial Controller. Longer term, it is envisaged that the successful candidate will eventually take over running the finance function, so this opportunity has excellent development prospects. My client is looking for someone with a good grounding in accounts from an SME, keen to learn, and with a positive attitude. The business is not without its challenges; many of the systems and processes need modernising, and there will also be a variety of project work available providing financial information to support the sales & marketing, warehouse & distribution functions.
Main Responsibilities:
Supporting the FC with management of the finance team Producing the monthly management accounts Month end duties Preparing MI reports on KPI’s Cost and margin analysis Stock reporting and valuation Reporting on variance to budget / sales forecast VAT returns, balance sheet recs Accruals & prepayments, journals etc. My client is looking for someone pro-active who can investigate problem areas and bottlenecks, providing meaningful reporting and analysis to support decision making. Key areas to look at will include reviewing stock management processes to optimise stock holdings and minimise returns, investigating customer databases, and working with sales and distribution to optimise product mix, driving a deeper understanding of volumes and margins to improve profitability. The ideal candidate would be a strong Assistant Accountant looking to step up or a Management Accountant looking for development. You will be supported by an experienced FC who is looking to make an investment into someone with the right drive and attitude. If you are looking for a career development opportunity with a stable business, then please apply without delay.
