Are you a part-qualified accountant who enjoys getting into the detail, taking ownership of reconciliations, and working in a fast-growing retail/e-commerce environment?
A high-growth premium fashion brand is looking for a US Junior Accountant to join its expanding finance team with a specific focus on ecommerce.
This is a business scaling quickly and growing 20% year on year, with the US being the largest growth area. As the team grows, they’re creating clearer ownership across management accounts, reconciliations and month-end - giving this person the chance to step into a broad role with real responsibility from the outset. You’ll be joining a business that wants ambitious, progression-oriented people who are keen to keep learning, studying and developing as the company evolves.
It’s a good opportunity for someone who already has solid grounding in month-end and reconciliations, but wants a role with more ownership, more exposure, and scope to grow over time.
