Finance Manager

Forge Talent are partinering with a well-established and growing retail business, based in Manchester city centre.

Due to continued growth, they’re looking to appoint a Management Accountant to join their finance team. This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on management reporting, financial control and, importantly, stock and inventory accounting.

The Role

Reporting directly into the Finance Director, you’ll play a key role in the production of accurate monthly management accounts while working closely with the wider finance and operational teams.

A major part of the role will involve stock accounting and reconciliation, so previous experience working within a stock-led environment is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparation of monthly management accounts and supporting analysis
• Balance sheet reconciliations and financial control
• Detailed stock and inventory accounting
• Stock reconciliations, movements and valuation
• Investigating stock variances and identifying discrepancies
• Supporting month-end and year-end processes
• Analysis of margins, revenue and costs
• Producing regular management information and reporting
• Supporting budgeting and forecasting processes
• Working closely with operational teams to improve financial performance
• Assisting with audit and statutory reporting requirements
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and financial controls

About You

We’re looking for a qualified accountant with strong management accounting experience and, ideally, a background within retail, FMCG, wholesale or another stock-intensive environment.

You’ll need to be comfortable working with large volumes of data and have a strong understanding of how stock impacts the P&L and balance sheet.
