This isn't your typical Assistant Accountant role.
We're working with a growing, entrepreneurial group behind some seriously recognisable names in sports fashion, and they're looking for an Assistant Accountant who wants to be part of the journey.
The office? Let's just say it's a little different from your average finance department. Think drum kits, turntables, huge LEGO models, signed sporting and music memorabilia, iconic products and a genuinely creative environment. But this isn't style over substance. The business is growing quickly, and this is a role where you'll have real responsibility and the opportunity to grow with it.
You'll have ownership across stock analysis, sales ledger, and monthly MI reporting, including:
- Managing and reconciling stock, costing and inventory data - your experience with stock is important here
- Sales invoicing and cash allocation across multiple businesses
- Working with Xero, Shopify and stock/order management systems
- Supporting gross profit, margin and management reporting
- Working with multi-currency and international customers
- Supporting month-end and CID/invoice finance processes
- Deputising for the Head of Finance and becoming a key member of a small finance team
- Improving processes and helping the business become smarter as it grows

We’re looking for someone who is confident, curious and proactive. You’ll need to ask questions, challenge assumptions and be comfortable speaking up when something doesn’t look right. If you're commercially minded, curious, confident and enjoy being hands-on in a growing business, this could be a very good fit.
Study support is available for the right person. 5 days on-site (3pm on finish on Friday) during the initial probationary period, with flexibility thereafter to be agreed. Free parking, pension and staff discount.
If you're looking for your next role to be more than simply processing numbers, this is worth considering. Interested in progressing your application? Apply without delay.
